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.

Been looking to get a router just for my IoT stuff (plugs, Google home, switches) just to segment the network a bit. Good or bad idea?
Always a good idea but how do you use 2 Routers? Does your isp allow multiple ip?
If not you need vlans else if you use it as access point it all gets merged into same network

the fact that you can install opendwrt on it, its going to be relevant for many many years... id wager even 5 years... alot of slickdealers been rocking old tmobile router those are almost 10 years old at this point

I have 2 routers setup, one becomes a subnet of the other. The IP allocation is all handled by the primary router. The second one just segregates network. I have wifi bands turned off on my primary except for 5ghz which I use for the TV and Xbox. The rest everything connects to the sub.

You need to change the IP ranges on the two routers I have 1 set to 192.168.0.1 - 100 and the other network is 192.168.1.1-100. To me it's just to separate out network traffic. I am not using it to isolate a network or anything. Just saves bandwidth over specific frequencies, which I prioritize for media and gaming.

FYI for anyone who might want to know, this is sitting at 11.0W power draw on my killawatt meter when configured with stock firmware as a wired backhaul mesh node.
So about $0.0018 per hour or $15.88 per year.

We rent our router through Xfinity/Comcast for $15/month. Would this replace that or would I need something else?
