Yes, I'd say that that is indeed the point of MESH. It's fundamentally to work a bit like a cellular service - the
system passes a given user off to another node if you get a better signal from it as you move around. If you get good whole house coverage with one AP (or router) then I can't see Mesh benefitting you. The only possibility is if at some future point, something is added tht requires range extension. Or maybe, if you find a radio blind spot somewhere.
The way my Asus works is as a router. I turned the ISP (Virgin)
one into modem-only mode (i.e. disable wireless and all router functions like DHCP, and plug the Asus WAN port into the ISP-modem LAN port. Let the Asus handle the routing. It's way more powerful. For example, separate 'guest' networks, with their own passwords. It also handles DHCP and all such services, is configurable for prioritising games and so on. It's way more than the Virgin unit, with Trend Micro protection built-in too. Turning it into a MESH is more or less just adding another unit and setting it ro MESH AP mode, not router mode, so that remains an option. i.e. out of the box, it's just a good router.
If your one unit is enough, no MESH needed but the Asus units are,
IMHO, pretty good. Not cheap, though.
