Works well and easy to configure DNS
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had problems with another companies mesh network where I was unable to access a particular server without using a VPN. Once I discovered it was as a result of the DNS settings I thought I was good. Except they did not (that I could find) allow me to change the DNS. This product did. Easy to install, easy to change, can now access website and server without VPN

Great replacement fore my EA9500 router
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great replaced a old linksys EA9500 router and RE7000 and Re9000 extenders which worked good and had seamless roaming. The AXE8400 works great I no longer need a extender on the top floor of my home because this 8400 has wi-fi upstairs and all of devices work great .I do some times need to reboot my 8400 when I lose connection to some devices and works great again after reboot .

Poor router and even worse customer service.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been buying linksys products for over 20 years. I am a telecom engineer that has over 30 years of experience in everything from switches, routers, SONET/SDH, Frame Relay, ATM, OTN, etc. The problems that I am having are only on the wireless channels of the Atlas Max 6e. The wired ports work flawlessly but the wireless gives downloads that are 50 percent less than uploads. Tech Support tried to put this on My ISP which gives me 2.5 Gbps service and it works flawlessly. I have two computers with 2.5 Gbps nics and they work fine. I have the Atlas 6e connected to a switch at 5 Gbps and this should be able to fill up the pipe with up to 2.5 Gbps of traffic. But my upload gives me 1.5 Gbps and my download gives me 700 Mbps when doing wireless speed tests. But when I use my wired PC that connects to my multi gig switch I get 2.4 upload as well as 2.4 download so it cannot be the ISP. If it was the ISP, then the wired clients would get the same results as the wireless clients, but the Tech support can't figure that out!

Perfect WiFi
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this set plus 4 other velop routers. I have one of these as a parent and put the other 2 away for future use. The other velops are used as child nodes with one of those also put away. This way as they fail I can replace them after they've been discontinued. The range of the setup is excellent. There are no dead or weak spots and I also have coverage in my gazebo that has an Amazon echo in it.

Great for running a house full of devices
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the prior AX5300 Wi-Fi 6 system and would get constant devices being kicked off the network or not being able to connect to the network. With the newer 6E I have not had this happen. I assume it's because it can support more devices on network and because of the improved signal bands. If you have 60 or 70 devices on your network go with 6E.

The best mesh router built!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried at least 5-6 different top of the line WiFi 6 mesh routers and got completely disappointed and desperate due to lack of wireless connection stability and quality in all of the products I tried, until I bought this beast! I finally found the one! Stylish, fast and reliable! It’s on the expensive side but I am happy again. Totally worth the money. I highly recommend it! Highly recommend it!!

Look good on paper...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router was a disappointment. Set up was ok, but then the app stopped working after I did the 1st firmware update and could not get it to work. Speed is great close but diminishes significantly as you get further from each node way more than my Orbi 5.... For the price, this is a no go. Way overpriced.

Great for large homes offices that w/ many devices
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much larger than the previous generation. Has more LAN ports built within each unit. Its basically a much faster and robust version of the earlier VELOPs but can handle more users and devices. I've seen it go on sale down to $799. Worth it especially for an office or a larger house, might be overkill for a small home.

Upgrade from Orbi
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device was purchased to upgrade an Orbi unit and to move from Wi-Fi5 to Wi-Fi6. installation was simpler than the Orbi unit and I have less dead spaces in my home. So far I have been happy with the product, although the price is a little steep, the quality of the product and lack of WiFi drops has made it worth it.
