Yes, Linksys LN1301 is a terrific router with 2 GB RAM and 1 GB of flash. Insane! I thought my Netgear R7800 with 512 MB RAM is pretty good until the specs on LN301 blows the R7800 out of the water and is a tri-band router as well!

With wireless mesh (instructions below), it's one heck of a deal and blows DECO AX5000 deal out of the water, imho.

EDIT: UPDATED instructions for enabling MESH (thanks to @rbtcordell for the original source):

1-Setup your Main router completely.

2-Plug your child node using the wan port to the main router lan port, wait for a solid purple light on the child node before proceeding

3-Log into your main router web admin.

4-Click on CA at the bottom right.

5-Click on Connectivity and CA Router setup.

6-Click on both Add Wired and Add Wireless nodes buttons. Wait for the Add wireless button to re-enable.

7-Click Done adding Child Nodes and then Apply.

8-Now the child node light should start flashing purple and turn into a mesh mode when it turns blue.

9-Disconnect Ethernet and wait for blue light again.

10-Move node to desired location.

With how much memory this thing has, it's no surprise there's plenty of room to do such a thing. Also sounds like OpenWRT is the move for this one, and that's ok with me, I can follow the instructions no problem, I remember some of the hoops we've all had to jump through, sometimes even needing to use a flash drive on the USB port to get our routers flashed with third party firmware, or downgrading to a way-old stock version, this shouldn't be any major problem.
Very easy with openwrt. I posted a how-to here incase you're wanting to try it: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=172413411&postcount=170

Would this be an upgrade over my old netgear nighthawk AC1900 (R7000) running Merlin software?

I have one too but don't have a meter to check.. 11w looks to be on higher side
Yeah, bounces between 10.8 - 11.3W. Bit higher than I was hoping for, but I guess with a fairly powerful CPU, lots of ram, and 3 radios, guess I should have expected it to be a bit higher than a lesser device.

So, have one of these added as a wired child node to my 2 existing MR7340's (single 2x2 5Ghz only on those). The third radio on this one does show up with the stock firmware. One is 5GHz low, one is 5GHz high. If your main parent node only has a single 5GHz radio, you will not be able to see or configure the second 5GHz radio, it will just adopt the same settings as your primary 5GHz.
thanks. in for 5.

With openwrt you can adjust power. I plan to install openwrt and replace my openwrt running OnHub as primary router. Then use one more of ln1301 as AP only. I already have a wifi 7 access point in the center of home so I am using this to cover the far reaches

Yeah, I'm waiting for OpenWRT to get a bit more stable and packages sorted out before I go that route. Bought these as a project to screw around with, so just doing some experimenting with the stock firmware for now (power draw, config, range, throughput, etc).

I don't see the option for Bridge Mode under the Connectivity tab

Just purchased two more of these for $15 a piece via separate accounts despite already buying 4 at $20 each around 2 weeks ago.
Aren't you paying a lot for the Prime membership if you maintain multiple Woots accounts? Or you'll have to pay the $6 shipping fee, which negates the $5 coupon.

I think multiple household accounts get Prime benefits with one main account paying.

You can add a separate adult account to your Prime Membership for free. (AKA "Prime Hack" [amazon.com])

This free/bonus account has all the benefits of Prime; including using coupons/promo codes that were already employed on your primary Prime account. Just log into Woot via the free additional account to reuse the promo code and to get free shipping as well.

I thought this would be better than my TMo-converted RT-AC68U, but the speed is half of what I get with the RT-AC68U.

Does Woot charge for returns for Amazon prime members? If yes, how much?

That sounds terrible. Which firmware are you using?
