For price comparison, this refurbished router has been $50 on Amazon[amazon.com] since March. It is also sold by Woot there but with a better return policy. This still leaves me on the fence because of the meager $10 discount and Woot's limited return policy.

Wifi6 only. This is essentially ewaste. Get triband wifi6e that you can mesh together at least.
Some people don't need fancy Wi-fi especially if they just surf the internet/ youtube /,,,etc around the house. My parents(1500 sq ft house), for example all they do is Facebook and YouTube,and Whatsapp video live with the family.
Purchased this router a week ago and it's e-waste. New firmware update makes Hydra Pro 6 difficult to change to OpenWRT or DDWRT. In stock form, the hidden HTML menus make this router less user friendly. Plus side is there is two configurations that are saved. Used dual configuration to unbrick the device.

I am very tempted to get this. I am using a Linksys MX4200 router as an access point, essentially, and it is working well. Do I need another router?

DDWRT seems to support it though...
