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 know this is a fire sale, but need to know if recommending it to a friend is a good and noble thing to do. Not planning on doing anything to flash it or custom build hers.
The value in this is its pretty decent hardware at a laughably low price. The hedge is that DDWRT or OpenWRT will get a mature build out in the coming months (which seems probable, esp if there are a lot of these sold at dirt cheap prices) and people will unlock full potential of what is pretty decent hardware.
I am willing to roll the dice with the latter being true. Worst case I am out $55. That said, I wouldn't give these to my parents, they need set and forget router that auto-updates.

The Pi 3 is still $35 for 1Gb ram and no flash. This router is on par with an AWS t2.small
I'm thinking these might make decent low power kubernetes nodes.
