QuantumFiber’s mesh router is not free. It would be correct to state that it is available at “no additional cost” but you are paying for it. They changed their plans so what was a $15 per month mesh router lease option is now “included”. The price of their basic plan increased from $30 per month to $50 per month to essentially cover their mesh router, albeit they also raised the nominal bandwidth but that is of no value to me as I already have 10x more bandwidth than I need. I am under the $30 per month plan. For those who don’t want to roll their own, this is probably a good move by QuantumFiber but it does increase the cost for those of us who prefer to provide our own equipment. I’ll stay with the $30 plan as long as I can.

All you need to do is plug in your Wifi device or use their FREE WiFi Mesh network pods which they setup for FREE and you are good to go. Fiber internet is the most flexible meaning if you want them to come set everything up for you for FREE without maintenance charges you can have that or if you want to set up your own system, you can do that as well. You can even turn off their router and use your own.
