Linksys MX4200 - ₹5000/unit shipped - 512MB RAM/512MB flash - have openwrt installed. Triple band (No 160MHz support). 3 Units, I used them personally for almost 6 months. Then moved to Hyd and found that one of these covers the whole home without issues (different layout of home + central placement) so selling the 3 not in use.
Linksys MX55EC - ₹4500/unit shipped - 512MB RAM/256MB flash - (the BestBuy SKU of MX5500) have stock firmware and are dual band. 3 units. They do support 160MHz, and you should use them in wired AP/router mode since there is no third dedicated mesh band.
7 days testing warranty. DYOR for compatibility/usefulness.
Uncut unboxing video required for claiming DOA/testing warranty. Shipping risk on me, price mentioned is per unit.
One of the MX55ECs has yellowed (it was near a window). Added pictures for that particular one. No functional issues, can provide ₹250 discount for that one. I just put some vinyl over mine, it looks sick and since all 4 sides are almost flat, easy to apply as well.
Does the MX55EC allow you to manually set the wifi channel? I run a lot of devices in the DFS (106, 122, etc) band, can you check if it allows you to override the same in India?
I know that TP Link DECOs don’t allow manual configuration not sure about linksys
