While there are practical reasons to have a mesh network, you do not want to give additional surveillance ability to Amazon and its government allies.
The practical reasons include that a WiFi mesh can allow you to put IoT devices all over your home without having to run cables to each one for Internet connections (may need power though for some).
However, Amazon Alexa, Comcast Xfinity, and other devices with microphones are listening to you 24/7 and sending your conversations back to them, and Ring doorbells with cameras can send the police views of your home.
A 'smart home' is a police state dream and your nightmare. But a large number of sheep have no problem with that.
I always was suspicious about why they were selling those "Wyze" cameras for $25 a pop at the beginning of last year. All makes sense, same with those ring doorbells and all those YouTube as tiktok ring doorbell videos.

Added: hey thanks, police state downvoter.
If you're stupid enough to have one of these things, don't be stupid enough to not opt out of this mesh network crap.
