Once you switch to mesh WiFi, it'll be hard to go back to a traditional wireless router + range extender/repeater which suffers in performance at the edge. However, I'm still not a fan of the cloud-based control since you aren't connecting directly to the devices.

One of the few systems that doesn't require a cell phone to set up. I still would like to see the ability to hop from satellite to satellite. I've installed several of these, rock solid & having those extra Ethernet ports available is also a bonus.
