If you let us know what router you have currently, someone will be able help out
Considering it has 6E support, looked like a good deal. Reviews were good but it was universally mentioned that the unit gets extremely hot - scalding hot. Not good for electronics in general though the manual does mention about the fact that it gets hot.
Note also that same is available - new one cheaper on ebay

Second I did a bit of web searching on the Wyze which is now much faster with A I. The Wyze does run hot and can only be managed through the Internet where it keeps a continously open socket with occasional keep alive packets. Fortunately it appears it's based in the US so hopefully Wyze doesn't farm their firmware out to China who is known to snoop people's data. Also Wyze firmware cannot be changed to custom router firmware so it's going to be a very basic network setup unless you make the Wyze handle wireless only and use a more capable router in control which is the only way I would ever use these.
As the first time I've ever read about mesh routers, it seems all they do is efficiently hand wireless connections to the strongest signal rather than hold onto the existing connection until it's unusable with a brief gap reconnecting to a stronger SSID. It's hard to know how much difference this will make which is why I checked it says returnable in store even if you buy from VIP Outlet.

Is it worth $7 more to be able to return it to a Walmart store than ship it? Probably even though Wyze.com says they send a prepaid shipping label. I simply have no idea how much better 2 mesh units will be than a single more powerful router for wireless.
