Echoing the same experience here - only issues have been with their provided router. I haven't had the bricking issue, but I have had the dropped connection issue.

I took the opportunity on Black Friday to buy a mesh system. I haven't had any problems in the last 2 weeks, and one room with spotty coverage before is perfect now. Their provided router is a modem/router combo, so it has to stay in the chain, but you just connect a new router to it and turn off WiFi on the old router.

I will 3rd this. I also got a mesh system, but honestly i think any half good router is better then what they will lease to u. I have had 0 problems since.

Yeah, I could honestly probably just swing the base router of the mesh by itself. The majority of my devices are still connected to the base, despite a few being right next to a satellite. The devices in the formerly-crappy-coverage room are connected to the base, too. But, I just like having the mesh.

Pretty sure you can tag VLAN 201 and any router will work. I work with two connections and have eliminated the AX-whatever from the chain entirely.
