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 miss the old days when 1 watt 24/7 was $1 a year.
No advantage but i can free up my raspi for some other project... In HomeAssistant i mainly run Teslamate duckdns let's encrypt and allow something's to be controlled by Alexa or Google assistant which I have linked to my HomeAssistant. What I basically want to do is get docker running in openwrt to make it a general purpose computer but I had some issues on my Asus OnHub. But in general openwrt for new comers may be challenging but it's worth it.... You get a full Linux installation with complete flexibility. I have separate vlans - lan/guests/iot/streaming and all Chromecast in streaming but lan and guests can still cast to them... Initially I planned on openwrt as main router and bought Omada Ap wifi 7 but then this was tempting so got 2. Once openwrt works on these from mainline build i will repurpose my main OnHub for something else or sell it on fb

If you use this as a parent node, you can use other velop nodes as children with no issues. Add in app and everything. But if you want to use this LN1301 as a child, you must follow these steps from Rbtcordell on Slickdeals:
1-Setup your Main router completely.
2-Plug your child node using the wan port to the main router lan port.
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 think it's stable but there is no release build for it. You have to use dev builds or compile one. There is a pr there which is looking for reviewers so it could be merged to mainline. My guess is it would take sometime but not a lot since things seems mostly stable. Once the mainline build is there you will out of box support for wireguard etc. I use wireguard on main server so it's important for me.
Here is the pr link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/16070
Link to dev build if you don't want to compile one: https://github.com/testuser7/openwrt/releases

It didn't work for me the first time and I'm 90% sure it's because I went through the steps while the child node was still flashing (I think purple but it's been a week, maybe it was blue.)
I would only do this as a mesh, I found one by itself was pretty unimpressive as far as coverage.
