Actually, I have four of them! Maybe I don't understand the tech. Is there no benefit to a second router? Are one of these mesh nodes essentially equivalent to routers regarding wifi coverage?
Oh!
Well, that system is pretty old. Amazon says it was released in 2020. Might be worth upgrading to something newer.
Our system is old too but everything bandwidth intensive (full node, tv) is wired so it ain’t too bad.
You’ll either want to increase capacity by upgrading to a newer system, or decrease consumption by wiring things that don’t need to be on Wi-Fi.
There are also a fair number of configuration parameters with these things that are worth playing with.

Honestly I know we had this mesh setup before covid, so maybe it's an earlier generation. Getting a new mesh system makes sense. Can you explain Ethernet backhaul? Wiring a few computers makes sense. Edit: I googled backhaul. I don't think that would work, since the devices are far apart and on different floors.
