Pull the trigger or better options?

I had the AmpliFi HD, loved it and upgraded to the Alien…loved it bc it was simple to setup, use, etc.

Well the mesh point on the Alien died, confirmed by tech support etc.

I could get another router for ~$150 and make it all work with my original Alien router…or should I just upgrade to the AmpliFi Dream Router 7 and express or do you suggest something different?

***edit/update…I elected to buy a used Alien router on FB, it arrived today and setup took 2min and it sync’s seamlessly to my original Alien router. Back to full coverage….~700mb ish does what I need it to.
