$71.99 if buying 4+.
DOWNSIDE:Last firmware update was from 2019. TP-Link releases great hardware and routers, then ends support for them and abandons them. Surely, these must be exploitable.
(I don't see any mention of a fix for the "Krack" vuln.)
NO "Mesh" support, no WISP mode, but they do appear to support WDS, look at the very bottom-most option under "Advanced" mode, called "System Parameters". No, they couldn't have put these under Wireless, call it Advanced or WDS Settings, no, they had to make it obscure, and hard-to-find.
Edit: According to this support tech, the "VPN Server" feature does NOT encrypt internet traffic?
