I could, but I like having the router network as an option to connect to. I know the point of a mesh network is to improve WiFi connectivity overall, but every once in a while it will get a bit laggy when streaming a video. Probably because I've got like 90 some devices connected to it. I like having the option to switch my phone to the router network and go upstream of all the other stuff.

That sound like you need a more serious setup, where you can control the network priorities and set a QoS, so the devices that you use interactively get priority over the other devices.

My mesh network actually allows me to set devices as priority. I guess I've never tried it out and am too lazy to go start pulling cables.
