- Key Specs

- Wi-Fi Speed: 3 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- General
- Brand: Linksys
- Model Number: MR9000
- Product Name: Max-Stream AC3000 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 5 Router
- Color: Black
- Security
- Firewall Type: SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Connected Devices: 25
- Number of Antennas: 4
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 3000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
- Features
- App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
- App Name: Linksys app
- Integrated Modem: false
- Wireless: true
- Ports
- Port Type(s): RJ-45, USB (USB 2.0 connects external drives, gaming controllers, smartphones, MP3 players and other accessories.USB 3.0 transfers data faster than USB 2.0, but only when used with USB 3.0 devices.USB Type-C provides fast speeds and versatile power, featuring connectors with identical ends that plug in upside down or right side up. Adapters allow for video as well as backward compatibility.Thunderbolt provides ultra-high bandwidth for fast data transfer between devices featuring a Thunderbolt or MiniDisplayPort connection.HDMI allows you to connect a projector or display HD media on your HDTV or monitor.Media card slots allow you to transfer photos from your digital camera or camcorder.)
- Speed
- Wired Speed: 1000 megabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and router using an Ethernet cable.)

Product Manuals
A: Given the reply from Linksys Staff, I will no longer be purchasing their products. Cloud managed hardware without traditional options is a deal breaker for me. Bought my first Linksys switch over 20 years ago and it, like all of my other Linksys gear, still works the first time, every time. We had a good run too... thanks for the quick response.
A: Hi. You can add any Velop devices to the Linksys MR900.
Q: Is the Linksys AC3000 router compatible with Verizon Fios
A: Yes, it is compatible to Verizon Fios.
A: Hmm, A bit of a confusing question as the cable modem communicates between your ISP and your devices. The router communicates between the cable modem and your devices. Now. some, if not most cable modems are both a cable modem and a wireless router in one unit. If you are using your ISPs cable modem and wireless router that they provide this would replace the wireless router that you are using on your cable modem. You do not need to contact your ISP that you are no longer using their wireless router. Simply set this up and continue. If you are happy with your new router it would be wise to have the ISP turn off your cable modem's WIFI so as to limit interference ( freeing up some of the noise on the channels as it isn't being used). I don't have this unit but i"m looking into getting it. My opinion is that ANY GOOD router (Wifi-5 or Wifi-6) is far better than any wireless router found in an ISP cable modem as I would guess that they are older technology (Wifi-4) and/or the quality of engineering is lacking a lot of consumer features. These are designed for those who don't know much about their setup and possible don't care so long as it works. But how well it works is a very important question. If you have a large house this product will allow you to add satellites nodes which extend the range of the router. I've found that Wifi-5 routers work fine in my house (1800 Sqft) going through multiple interior walls and the floor (total of 4) as well as the exterior wall and other walls (total of 2). I can stream video from the upper end of my house to the other end of the house on the lower floor.
A: Hi. Yes, you can.
Q: Can one hook up an external hard drive via a USB port to have NAS storage?
A: Hello, hankBitt. The USB feature of the Linksys MR9000 is only supported when it is set as parent mode. Also, it allows you to share the network with authentication, and it only supports the following file format: NTFS, FAT32, and Samba for Windows; and FAT32, APFS (read-only), and HFS+ for Mac. You may check out this link for more info: https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article/?articleNum=316998.
A: Yes it's compatible and both are tri band.
Q: I have Argis 3.0 Modem, do I need to upgrade to run this router?
A: If you have Fiber internet,I would say yes it gives you 800mbps-940mpbs or if your router is outdated it would be a good router to purchase.
