I love this router. Especially because of the fact that I got it for half the price during the Black Friday sale. This router will definitely help me future proof my devices for years to come as they got more advanced and as more devices adopt WiFi 6E. Literally, this router gives me great signal within the house. I actually haven’t seen it drop to two bars yet on the WiFi symbol. A constant three whole bars! Now, I’m not sure how it would fare in my basement but judging from how strong of a connection I get in my room upstairs, I would expect the same signal strength in the basement. Now, the firmware update! I have Verizon FiOS gigabit internet. As I unplugged my crappy FiOS gateway router, I then connected the Linksys Hydra router. Setup is super easy and simple through the app no problem. At the end it’ll say it needs to “update” to the latest firmware. Please note that this firmware update didn’t allow me to take full advantage of my gigabit upload speeds but it did allow me to get my gigabit download speeds. However, after spending time with Linksys support chat, they told me I needed to download the latest firmware from their website manually! This was a fairly simple process and after the router updated to the new firmware, I was able to get my promised speeds Verizon both Downloads and uploads. Again, fantastic router. I noticed things load very fast and snappy like on my computer Ethernet connected and on my WiFi devices!!

I installed a new modem Motorola MB8711 and connected through Xfinity app in minutes. I have this paired with my Linksys Hydro Pro 6E Router and it works like a charm. I had an old Nighthawk C7000 modem/router and would get maybe 300mbps tops. After the switch to my newer set up, I constantly got 700-720mbps and 24up on my Note 20 Ultra 5G and Ethernet connection from my router to the PS5 around 600-650mbps. I have a 600mbps plan through Xfinity and it goes above that. Plan to upgrade to Gigabit speeds soon and I'm sure it won't disappoint. I like that the router is 6E capable and is future proof for now. Will add some devices soon to take advantage of the 6Ghz/6E soon. I have a 1800sqft home and have no problems with the drop off with the 2.4/5ghz bands in speed. I have the set up in the living room and can go to each corner of my home with great speeds. My son said his PS5 speeds doubled through Wifi. Happy with this router so far. I have atleast 15 devices connected and no lag. My LG OLED smart TV streams 4K while my son is on his PS5 and other deviices simultaneously without a hitch. I would highly recommend the Linksys Hydro Pro 6E.

This 6E router is connected to my 6E Mesh and doesn't miss a beat while I'm live streaming my favorite VR MR gaming (headset connected to 6E to sync with pc, pc connected to LAN, 3 cameras, MR processing, all broadcasted to multiple platforms a individual streams. All while 2 4K TV's play and stream live video games (PC Steam/PS5/PS4 VR or XBox) to multiple platforms. Each connected via LAN to 6E Mesh. No stuttering. No lag. Prioritize the devices that need the load. 20 security cameras, 80+ smart lights, 4 smart ceiling fans, 2 vac/mop robots, 10 Google displays, and several other items. Supports my ISP's upload and download giga speed. Control and make adjustments via mobile or onsite. Add external storage for easy access. (Make your own cloned and/or server.)

I have been eyeing this router since it was $500 to $350 to finally deciding to buy it at $300, and still too overpriced. Service is AT&T fiver at 1g up 1g down. Setup took over an hour since it kept telling me numerous times to restart and wouldn’t connect to my Linksys account, setup as IP passthrough from the AT&T modem settings. Xbox photo is hardwired and getting 500 up. Wifi SpeedTest on iPhone in front of router tops out at 450 down and 400 up on 5ghz. In the Linksys app SpeedTest shows 945 down and only 150 up! It does do a good job at range but speeds overall are just meh. Will be going back to the att wifi 6 modem/router combo they make you get unfortunately, better speeds overall.

Go this router to upgrade my old one, I dropped cable many years ago, all my TVs are smart, plus the smart plugs, lights, camera, etc, so far this router has been a great decision; TVs were pixelated sometimes in the past, now I don't get that, I thought it was the transmission but now I think it was my old router. Easy to setup, signal is good.
