The manual is a little short on detail.  While it's shown being used as
an access point, it says it's a router.  However, I see nothing about
configuring anything about networks.  Does it support IPv6?  VLANs?  I
strongly support separate access points and have one on my home
network.  However, separate access points tend to support PoE.  There is
no mention of that.  Even with the full user manual, there is simply not
enough info to make an educated decision.

The D-Link DAP-2660 business grade AP appears to be a more capable
device in that price range.
