I find this setup much more efficient than having a router on one end of the house and Wi-Fi extenders at the other end.

I agree re: router & distant extender. I had that for years with nothing but issues. I finally got fed up with family members complaining that “ the internet is down” and replaced it with a mesh system that has a dedicated 6 gig backhaul. It required me to shut off the “wireless” signal from the Verizon router & extender but, it has been a year now without a complaint.
