Have you flashed it with or does it ship with the MER compatible firmware?

Isn't that an old school Wireless-N router that is on the face of it is worse than the ISP supplied option?

'Better' is a subjective term, what specifically isn't the supplied router doing that you want it to? If it's wifi range/coverage, then they all output at the same legally limited power levels, while antennae efficiency/design/quantity can and does make a difference, you would usually always be better off with a centrally located AP for general coverage. Unfortunately slow clients can impact other wireless devices and the overall network. If it's actually a router function that you're lacking, you need to tell us what that is.

Some idea about how much you’re willing to spend would help as well.

Again, is it just Wi-Fi and if so is coverage or speed the concern? Are you OK running a cable to a central location for an AP? If not then mesh may be better, but good mesh requires a wired back haul, OK mesh requires dedicated backhaul radio and cheap mesh is just nasty/pushes client and backhaul over the same radio. Either way, please tell us what exactly you need that the supplied router isn’t doing.
