The XE75 has 3 access points, but the features are lacking and I feel like the lack of speed on firmware updates is slow and concerning. I’m looking at the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2), and it’s $136. Can anyone with more tech experience comment or give their thoughts/suggestions about this? TIA!

You can have a mesh-like network with auto switching between endpoints on Flint 2 too. I set it up here over the weekend with a clean OpenWRT flash. Even managed to keep IP addresses the same so no worries for any home automation.

It takes some clicks or commands to get there. A wired connection would be nicer but you can use wireless network mode Access Point WDS to create a wireless backhaul too. Fast roaming is supported so I think it behaves similar to mesh.

Multiple VLANs should become a thing for this network in the future.
