Exactly, I have no clue why they have disabled OneMesh when you use another router in AP mode. That's like crippling the product. But if a router supports OneMesh, the range extenders become pointless so might be from a commercial perspective.
@varkey , to add, from what i recollect, these 'range extenders' do not support a wired backhaul. Only the more expensive TP-LinkDecomesh does. Which makes perfect sense from a commercial standpoint. If two C6 had mesh support, why buy the M4 for more than double price?
I agree w/ the Chinese sentiment, but D-Link uses very crappy MediaTek processors. That's one reason I'd stay away from them. Netgear is better (its TWN based and quality is very good).
The only reason you should buy a TP-Link is if you are going to replace it's SW with something like a OpenWRT. But, come on guys - lets avoid Chinese! Its sad that we dont have a reliable Indian OEM!!

It's just not about sentiment, Chinese Routers have some security vulnerabilities (Though not as much as Trump says). Another reason Chinese routers are cheap because they copy others designs & the firmware too. If you see closely, as soon as Netgear, Linksys etc. launches a new product you will see a copied chinese alternative next to it.
So coming back to the subject, @Sushubh did you manage to get this going, have you replaced/or planning to replace stock.
@REST_ALL, those who are running DD/OPEN wrt, can you share your use case and services running on the box. Or point to a thread if already one... would be a good compilation for ppl planning upgrades/replacements,
