    Very high power router. I use it for wireless connectivity for audio mixers, specifically x32. Used it in clubs and outdoor events and haven't had any drops. Very reliable router that can stand up to professional use cases as far as I can tell

    Hap the EA9500 and started having issues with connection dropping everyday. So bit the bullet and bought this because it comes with a 4 year warranty. It was easy to set up. I don't have any 6E devices but I do have a couple Samsung 2020 devices which shows wifi 6 icon so that's good.

    Works well with Airlink for Quest 2

    After using this I realized I've been using below average routers whole my life... I don't even need an extension for the house with this, it covers the whole house by itself. Other than this, I'm primarily using this with my Oculus Quest 2 for Airlink. Even thought it's connected to a PS5, iPhone, Macbook Pro, iPad Pro, TV and numerous other devices, AirLink works perfectly. There is no lag or frame drops at all. Firmware is a bit shallow It seems, but it works and that is all that matters for me.

    This router was so easy to set up anyone can do it. It comes with an app that does all of the work for you. I love the speed. It should cover my whole house, but it doesn't. That's surprising and needs to be improved. It's the reason I can't give it 5 stars.

    A Solid Futureproofed Router!

    I decided to purchase this Router because I wanted to be futureproofed and because my old one was running slow. I haven't been disappointed in this thing so far. I've tested all 3 channels and each preformed well. When using the 6GHz band paired with my Galaxy S21 Ultra it was incredible. Its also easy to set up and provides excellent coverage throughout the house. If your looking to upgrade this Router just might be the one for you.

    I purchased a Nighthawk AX11000 Tri-Band WiFi 6 router and was incredibly disappointed with the constant loss of connection. In the end it wouldn't see my new all-in-one after a firmware upgrade. $500.00+the Geek Squad warranty down the drain. Replaced it with this unit, so much happier. All my devices connect right up. So far range is pretty good. If something is too far away, I can always buy a node.

    Strong router with decent area coverage

    Big improvement in speed and signal strength from our old Linksys AC series router. Setup was not too complicated and took no more than 15 minutes maybe. The coverage area for this AX6600 router is supposed to be up to 2700 sq. feet and so far it seems to be doing well. This is my third Linksys router in the last 8 years.

    been having difficulties getting wifi on some of my devices. tried everything from turning most off most of the time and used them only when needed to putting extenders in my house to boost the signal. to no avail. So, talking with some techs I decided on this product, and WOW!!! great Wifi now and no loss of signal. I will never use a Netgear product again. It was a little bit pricey, but after hooking it up, so easily, I am happy I purchased this product

    Great range, inconsistent connectivity

    I made the switch from an eero system to this router as I needed more bandwidth and wanted to test this out. The setup was not too difficult, the app does most of the work. From the get go, I was surprised by the range. This was reaching all the way to my attic with no trouble, whereas my previous system definitely needed the mesh points to get good signal. However, one consistent problem that keeps recurring is whenever devices reconnect to the wifi. Very often these devices will connect to the wifi, but the internet will not work. They will stay stuck loading, and attempting to run a speedtest will just stay stuck. I would have to manually disconnect and reconnect the device to the wifi before it usually works again. On rare occasions, I have to fully reboot my router. Note that this NEVER happened with my eero system. For this reason, I will be returning it. TL:DR - great range and signal, inconsistent connection and often when a device reconnects, internet doesnt work .

    Excellent product. The range is amazing, and the signal strength is very stable. It only took a few minutes to set up and I was good to go. I have been using linksys products for 20 years, and I'll continue to use them.

    I have used multiple brands of routers over the years but I keep coming back to Linksys for reliability and speed. I pay for 600mbps download and with my previous router in my 2700sqf home I would get about 150-175 in the common areas. Now im getting 550mbps or higher on a regular basis. Excellent quality. Excellent speed. Excellent coverage. Highly recommend

    The new wifi 6 makes this router almost future proof. It is tri band, and automatically switches between 5G and 2.4 GHz for a reliable connection. It really does increase range, especially for home security systems.

    Replaced another Linksys destroyed in a lightning strike (despite surge protection). After a month, the Hydra Pro continues to perform reliably with a slightly larger wifi coverage area than earlier model and more than 50 connections. Appreciated the easy setup via app.

    Router has incredible speeds matched with the Xfinity 1.2gbs plan. I had to switch back to the Linksys Mesh system because I could not get this to work with my 2.4ghz light bulbs. After I returned it I thought to myself if I separated the 2.4ghz band with a different name would it work properly? Anyways router downloaded at 1,400mb from a iPhone 12 Pro Max and upload was 43mb. My current Linksys MX12600 is HomeKit compatible right out of the box but the speed is definitely not inline with the Hydra Pro. MX12600 downloads at 950mb on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

    This is a solid router, a bit on the pricey side, but worth it in the end. I had to get another 1 because the first one had some issues, but once I got the replacement it connected right away and performed like a Linksys router is suppose to perform. I would have giving it 5 stars but I don't like the fact you have to do the setup through your cell phone. Other than that good solid product.

    Excellent Wifi 6e Router. Only drawback is initial setup requires an app to setup. Once you have that setup you can do things via web interface if you want. Despite that it works great with all our stuff and has good range. Was an even better deal when it was 50% off!
