Questions & Answers (257)
- A: The third band is a separate 5GHz band for backhaul. It is what the "mesh" runs on between nodes and is not configurable. Its there, just facilitating your network connection between nodes.
Q: Looks like the USB Port does not work? Is anyone experiencing the same issue? (2 answers)
A: I was told that the USB port is non operational at this time, but they plan to activate it in a future firmware release! They did not provide a timeline.- A: Hi! Yes, this is compatible with all the Velop products, but this must be the primary node while the Velop nodes are configured as secondary nodes.
Q: Will this work with CenturyLink? I didn't see anything on this (9 answers)
A: It will work with any internet provider as this is a router, not a modem. Your internet provider can provide the modem, or compatible modems you can purchase, in which you can connect to this WiFi router for expanded connectivity.Q: how far will this reach (3 answers)
A: Hi. The Linksys MR8300 can cover up to 2000 sq. ft.- A: I have a nest camera in my garage which is about 125’ from the router and it works great don’t have issues with it. Just make a priority device in settings and it will get the best signal accordingly
- A: Hi, Sammy. The model number of this router is MR8300. If you want to add more nodes, you can use either of the following: Velop Dual Band (Model WHW01) --- https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-WHW0103/ Velop Tri-Band (Model WHW03) --- https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-WHW0303/
- A: My TP Link extender worked with this Linksys, but didn’t produce the desired signal strength, partially due to my modem located on one end of a two level home. When using an extender the signal is reduced unlike adding a mesh node. I liked this router but due to my modem placement, ultimately returned this router and dropped the money on the Velop Tri Band 3-pack which is working well n my house.
