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.

I swapped out the MR7340 for the MX4300, so exact same location and positioning. Client was located in exact same position as well. In the second screenshot, you can see the two 5GHz radios (80:69) from the MX4300 with -68dBm.
With my 500/500 fiber with AP using wired backhaul, on the MR7340, I could get 509Mbps down (284ms active ping), 284Mbps up (94ms active ping) with 0% packet loss. On the MX4300, I was getting 67Mbps down (4018ms active ping), 27Mbps down (213ms active ping) and 1.5% packet loss.
Does Woot charge for returns for Amazon prime members? If yes, how much?
A device with two 5ghz radios is useful as well if you're into VR streaming to a headset from your PC. You can dedicate one of the 5ghz radios to the VR headset.

I am using a somewhat non-standard setup, by powering everything from my POE switch and using these to feed the routers. Works great with the MR7340 and the MX4300.

So think outside the box here.
