I have basically this setup. I have three Linksys EA8300 APs setup using 802.11s (mesh). The main AP does routing and DHCP and is wired to my modem. All of the APs have dual 5Ghz radios so one handles the mesh, one handles my SSID.
I max out my 250 Mbps connection in my home office and the far end of our house (third AP) gives roughly 200 Mbit coverage elsewhere. It works great.
Even before this setup I had an archer c7 connecting in client mode back to my main AP rather than using a WiFi card. It gave me better bandwidth and a more stable connection. Only downside was double NAT which is why I moved to new setup
