Great system, but be aware of dual band limitation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the Linksys Velop in my home since the original model was released in 2017, which I upgraded to the WiFi6 AX4200 system in 2021. Reliability has been good, as has been the coverage and speed. I got good reception throughout my 3800 sq. ft. (plus attached garage) house, though the signal in the garage and outside nearby was poor. Though I my existing three nodes probably could have taken care of this by being positioned more optimally, I liked their current locations and didn't want to move them, so I bought this AX5300 3-pack with the intention of using one of the nodes to fix the garage coverage, and another node to improve coverage on one side of the house where it was just a little weak, and it has fit the bill perfectly. However, there's an important caveat to this system vs. the AX4200. The AX5300 only has two bands (one 2.4ghz and one 5ghz), while the AX4200 has three (two 5ghz bands). What this means is that while a wirelessly-connected AX4200 remote node can use one of its 5ghz bands as the backhaul to the main node, while with the AX5300, the single 5ghz band must be shared between devices and backhaul duty, effectively halving the available bandwidth. This is illustrated by a test I did, comparing an AX4200 node and an AX5300 node temporarily in the same spot, connected wirelessly (with a good signal) to an upstream AX5300 node (which itself has a hardwired backhaul to the main node). The AX4200 measured about 570mbps, while the AX5300 measured about 335mbps. In my particular setup, I was able to use a hardwired backhaul for both of the AX5300's I deployed, which eliminates this speed penalty (since the 5ghz band is not needed for backhaul, all of its bandwidth is available to clients). The AX5300's marketing claims to address the limitation of one 5ghz band by way of 160mhz channel width (in other words, it only has one 5ghz radio, but it can, at least in theory, simultaneously transmit twice as much data than the AX4200). However, this feature requires the enabling and use of DFS channels, which are extra channels that are shared with airport and weather radar... if you live at least somewhat near an airport or weather radar (as most of us do), the router will automatically stop using these DFS channels when it detects a radar signal. So, in other words, don't count on 160mhz channel width to be a usable feature. Still, even with the limitation of the 5ghz band being shared between clients and backhaul, speed is decent (good enough for the typical 200-400mbps cable ISP), and the AX5300 represents a good value. The only reasons you'd need a faster system is if you had a 500gbps+ fiber connection, or if you wanted the added speed for local network purposes. Lastly, one pleasant surprise about the AX5300 nodes is that they are significantly smaller than the almost comically large AX4200 nodes (the AX5300 nodes are very similar in size to the original Velop Tri-Band), making them less conspicuous.

Great Mesh with universal applications.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Linksys Mesh 6 router is connected to my 6E Gaming Router and doesn't miss a beat while I'm live streaming my favorite VR MR gaming (headset connected to 6E router 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 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 cloud and/or server.) Each nodecan act as a router or a satellite. So they can work individually, connected together,or connected to a supported router (like my setup).

Decent system, easy setup, not overly impressed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Linksys products due to their ease of use. I have this as a replacement to my AT&T provided router as it has multiple dead spots around my home. Setting up was a breeze along with the child nodes, with one minor glitch as one kept blinking red after setup but restarting it a few times fixed this. However, the main “base” or router is not reaching the max wired speed. As of my knowledge the app reads the speed coming into the main router as I’ve experienced with other Linksys devices. This is not the case here and I find it quite odd. Overall, I do plan on hardwiring the system and nodes for reliability but the system does provide 350+ Mbps connections in the upstairs of my home and about 500+ Mbps connections downstairs on the ground floor out of my gigabit connection. It is decent but I have noticed better max speeds with my provider’s router previously where it does reach. I do not see the overall value of this claiming to have a max speed that can’t be achieved, but the mesh functionality works like a charm.

Replaced Google mesh
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As you smarten up your home your Wi-Fi can become stressed out. None of our doorbell cameras were working and we had spotty Wi-Fi. Our home is only 2000 sq ft so thought the google would do it. After awhile we noticed worsening conditions so we had someone come out to look at our mesh placement, which turned out to be fine. She suggested the Linksys system so we went ahead with the installation. All nodes were placed exactly where the old ones were and we changed out the combo modem router to a dedicated modem at the same time. Speeds are now better and the camera’s all work again. Thanks Mallisa from Best Buy in Home!

Great router and love the speeds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Forget the silly reviews that people left! Took a chance on this as was on special and love it. Went from 300MB/s to 900 with this and threw my apple router in the trash. The setup is slow but that’s because you have to setup each mesh, however super clear to follow on app. Even though this covers some serious square feet i have only 2700 to worry about in a 4 story configuration with metal eye beams. On each floor its handling as much as i throw at it and stream for work all day long and tvs to boot. Just buy it!

Q: QuestionAdding a satellite: I have this 3 pack and want to add another satellite. Which Linksys satellite should I purchase if I only want to buy 1 or 2? Thanks in advance.
Asked by Avellino.
- A:Answer Hi, Avellino. Technically, you can add other Linksys Velop and Mesh routers to the existing system. However, it'll be best if you'll add the same model to totally maximize the functionalities. Furthermore, it only comes in 2-3/Packs. You can check the Linksys website for details as well https://www.linksys.com/us/p/p-mx5502/. Take note that these are the same. The MX55EC3 is a BestBuy exclusive SKU.
