Does it make sense to try to get an ASUS mesh kit to work with it or should I just upgrade the whole network??
Not crazy about changing out the existing router as the security cameras we have are configured through there and I do not understand port forwarding enough to figure it out myself.
Any thoughts??

If you're getting a mesh system, why not parallel the two? Assuming your modem has more than 1 ethernet port, it should be easily doable. That way, you don't mess up the existing old stuff, and with the new stuff you can increase the wifi coverage in your home.
I personally am rocking dual AmplifiHD routers which cost me around $220 each when I first got them. It's probably too pricey and overkill for the average person though. Personally, I think they're awesome. So dead simple to use plug and play wise, reliable, effective and they look pretty darn good too. People who see the one in my bedroom often think it's a fancy alarm clock.
