Thanks for this, so any 802.11r router would work?

oof on the expensive side but might have to do it. Were you able to install open wrt on it?

It was still a good suggestion thanks. Something with openwrt is preferred but anything that’s not google is an improvement.

Thanks! openwrt works on these?

Mesh in this case means one wifi network visible to wireless devices with multiple nodes broadcasting it. In my case both nodes are connected via ethernet.
