@kuduku congrats. Are you going to flash openwrt on all 3 ? After reading mohits post it seems time consuming thing. Gone are those golden days when we used to tinker what not. now barely gets time these days. :(
I dropped the plan of upgrading for now as my Asusmerlin setup on asus 88u and 68u does the job.

No openwrt , Mesh works excellent . they will be in BRIDGE mode . All the VLAN / DHCP etc will be done by L3 managed switch
My main reason picking up was , I had compared it with Tp-Link x60 5400 Mbps

Speeds - I wont go above 1Gbps FTH connection before this is not capable of handling my devices
Tri- Band against Tplink Dual Band
2GB RAM against 512 MB of Tp-Link
USB port which does not work for now against no port (USB Port works in Openwrt)
3 LAN ports opposite 1 on Tp-Link
Wired Backhaul , all bands available for devices
4.2Gbps or 5.4Gbps doesnt matter much for me when i have only 4 devices on WIFI6 + NO 2.5Gbps device in home
One needs a capable router to run them - Preferable which has stable Openwrt to run all app including Adguard or VLANs . Asus /Linksys / GliNet has a good selection . That i have kept for later but with a L3 managed switch I can run this setup with my Tp-Link XC220-G3v ONT also
And lastly price to performance ratio is better on this than Tplink x60 5400 Mbps . If one is able to get from relatives its a no brainer deal .

Even if somebody doesnt have a managed switch then - ONT modem( Bridge Mode) - 4 LAN port Router with DHCP enabled - Linksys LN1301 in bridge mode
or
4 Port ONT modem/Router with DHCP - Linksys LN1301 in bridge mode
One is covered perfectly by above

No time , thats why max i run is a Debian NUC . Dont have time and energy to setup things which no one else will understand . Keep it simple is the mantra right now

Finally managed to get everything working. Fingers crossed it stays like this.
  • 1 base unit with all the services running such as dhcp dns unbound and adguard home.
  • 1 wds client bridge
  • 2 dump APs wired to the wds client
  • Guest networked tunneled via vxlan from base unit to all other units. I have IOT devices across two floors so guest wifi is now working seamlessly
  • Set up fast roaming so devices connect to the closest AP
  • Used the really old WR1043nd for 2.4ghz WiFi in the parking.
  • Wifi speeds are still sub optimal compared to my ASUs routers though. I am really appreciating the asuswrt mesh implementation now that I’ve tried openwrt.
  • 7-8 Tapo cameras access via rtsp > scrypted > homekit
Happy to share the config files if anyone needs.
