I have the router imposed by the provider, and another router I reused to cover a part of the house which is "too far" (walls and ceiling) from the 1st. I admit networking is not my strong suit, but the main reason is I'm a bit lazy too I'm sure I could configure the other router to act as a transparent wi-fi repeater but it usually works very well like it is now - just my smartphone which suddenly became stupid (it usually remains on the weaker of both signals, even if there's a huge difference).
The latter problem is where a mesh can help with that. What makes it a mesh, rather than than a collection of access points, is in the way it handles smooth transfer from point to point, while your device still thinks it's constantly attached, and there's no fighting over which point to connect to. Doesn't replace your router - you just disable the router wifi, connect one of the access points to the router ethernet, and off you go. If the phone thing does bug you, might be worth looking at one day.
