it creates a mesh network over your entire house. Your router might only go 100ft with a download speed of x - then speed will deteriorate the farther away. This aims to solve that issue by putting multiple routers over your entire house so speed and coverage is always there.

That said, these could be used as follows: 1- to replace your existing router (not the modem) if you’re unhappy with your current router for whatever reason. 2- add a 2nd separate network to your service area, assuming you can connect to the same modem. You might want to do this is for example you have a rental unit in your home, or run a business out of your home and wish to keep that traffic separate, or for certain network-intensive services like gaming that you want off your main network.

If you live in a small apartment, then you probably do not need such devices. However, if your home is long or wide, or has multiple floors, this helps you get coverage throughout. If placed strategically, you can remove any coverage dead spots throughout your home and have good WiFi in your yard.
