NETGEAR Wireless Access Point (WAX218) is $138 in Amazon
I will be using At&T Fiber BGW320. Changing that will not be an option for me ( As they won't let me to) I am thinking to turn off the wifi on BGW320 and use access points.

The WAX218 is $138 but if you're needing 2 then it costs you $276. right about the price of the SXK50.
And the WAX218 is designed as a stand alone access point. You can use more than one and set them with the same ssid but they're not going to roam as efficiently as a mesh system.
Not trying to say the WAX218 isn't a good system. It is. I have one. but I end up going back to my mesh system each time I try it just for the ease of use.
