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.

The Linksys website says it cannot be used as a mesh system.
Has anyone used this with AT&T fiber?
So one of the most imp features is an USB 3 port which this router already has but they have disabled it?
I mean how dumb can humans go?
GEEZ !
Either app or using web interface. After perhaps dozen tries it seems to be working with wireless backhaul great.
Not sure what made setup take but don't give up
2 WiFi mesh for my very small house did solve WiFi speed issues in yard. Been so many years since I've trusted Linksys hardware and software I'm still expecting issues
Not sure I'll even benefit from changing to wired backhaul but I have house wired so I'll try it.

If anyone got mesh to work with openwrt, was it using 802.11s? In the past, I had trouble getting mesh to work with linksys routers on openwrt. Even WDS didn't work reliably.
Question: I am trying to set this up as a separate mesh network and I have connected the parent to my original router.
How do I access the linksys setup page? I have internet access, solid purple light and I am connected to the linksys network, but if I type in the login address it takes me to my main routers setup page and not the linksys setup page? How do I find this address? TIA

What are you trying to setup this separate mesh network for? Putting the Linksys behind your other router means that the stuff on the linksys will still be able to access stuff on your other routers network still.
