This is part of Linksys’ velop mesh Wi-Fi system which has great reviews all over the internet. This base will work with three velop mesh nodes. Make sure you select the tri-band Wi-Fi-5 mesh nodes that are the same speed as the base (e.g., AC2200). As you move around, the nodes will automatically select the clearest channel for your signal. In the mesh system, nodes are considered an extension of the router. Bridges are different. They do not respond like mesh nodes do.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, BigWig09. You can use the Velop system with the MR8300 and extend your mesh network. If your extenders are non-mesh devices then, it will only extend your existing wireless network.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The router can function as a normal wireless router and you can use traditional extenders with it, but that defeats the point of getting a mesh router. Extenders are not the same as mesh nodes. This router is designed to function as the main node in a Velop mesh network, so it is best used either as a stand-alone router by itself, or with one or more Velop nodes as satellites.
