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 plan to do something similar when my LN1301s arrive; connect it as a bridge to my main router and add nodes/mesh clients to the LN1301. The plan is to connect all my IP cameras plus smart devices to the LN1301 mesh network and use my Netgear RAX38 router as an exclusive DFS 5GHz network for all my high priority wireless streaming devices.
Also I'm hoping to use Openwrt eventually as well when the LN1301 firmware is more mature and tested. Using LN1301s as Docker devices via Openwrt sounds fantastic. It will be like having a decently powerful $15 mini pc which uses 10 watts that can host several Docker containers 24/7.
Perhaps I'm assuming and expecting too much from Openwrt though. However from my limited half ars research Openwrt does appear to be able to run Docker unless someone here wants to correct me. Hopefully I can figure this stuff out when the time comes
Thanks

my ax router with 4 external antennas can't even reach 40 feet across a few walls.
