The Linksys - MX10 Velop AX5300 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (2-Pack) - White is the best wi-fi mesh set up on the market in my opinion. Linksys makes high quality and reliable equipment and the Linksys - MX10 Velop AX5300 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (2-Pack) - White is no exception to this.

Loooove this system. Covers my 3700sqf home with ease and so far ZERO drops. I bought this system specifically because it has FIVE Ethernet ports in EACH node. This is helpful when you want your home PC, work computer, camera system and gaming device to run at max speed.

I was having difficulty with my wireless network. Out download from Comcast is gig/sec. we were not able to stream well. we had to eliminate the use of other devises. Now we are running 9-16 devices streaming movies and moving a large amount of data all while having whole house coverage

Pretty good. Puts out pretty good speeds but definitely not what's going in. We get about 460 GB and it'll only push 300 and something wirelessly.

I purchased these along with a new modem . My carrier is Spectrum but their modem wasn’t that great . I put one of the towers near the modem and the second one in my guest house . Now I have proper WiFi all the way into my back yard. So easy to install , maybe took me 10 minutes .

This mesh units 5.3 Gbps rated wi-fi speed (802.11ax WiFi 6), signal strength - coverage area (6000 sq. ft.) and ability to handle upwards of 50 devices is definitely a winning combination and is a great upgrade option. While this system is backward compatible to prior Wi-Fi standards, to truly unlock the routers maximum speed/potential I would suggest you verify what internet access speed you are paying for from your internet provider, as well as your modems specifications. In my case I decided to upgrade to Gigiblast from Cox cable as well as replace my modem to handle Gigablast. Unfortunately, I wont get Gigablast installed until 11/23 as they need to perform some line upgrade to my house, So for now I am “stuck” with my current limit of 150 Mbps. I consider these to be “hidden costs” associated with wanting to get the best out of this router and maybe something that should be considered before purchase. I have used the prior 802.11ac Linksys velop 3 node system (01-2017). My main dislikes of those units - it only allowed for max of 2 hard wired ethernet connections, no USB and the access/connection area is very small at the base of the unit. Tech specs; Tri-band (1,147Mbps 2.4GHz, 2,402 Mbps 5GHz, 1,733Mbps 5GHz) 2.2 GHz quad-core processor 512MB Flash memory 1GB RAM and 4x4 MU-MIMO. There is virtually no info included in the box for these units and at the time I was writing this review there was very little info I could find but these 2 links may help with FAQ’s and specs; https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=306850#H06 https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=306849 Positives; 1) The biggest positive for me is each unit can be used as a base or as an extension node. This provides future flexibility as you can “lend” an unused node to be used by a friend, etc. Netgear Orbi units are either base or extension – you cant use extension as a base. 2) Very Easy setup – but must download Linksys app and use mobile device for initial setup using Bluetooth. 3) Blazingly fast, with right equipment 4) Each of these AX5300 units allow for 4 1Gbps hard wired connections as well as USB 3.0 connection for external storage (doesn’t seem to support a printer). The ability to connect devices such as a TV using ethernet cable may allow for much higher streaming speeds than using the devices older wifi. 5 Signal strength is pretty amazing. Using speedtest.net app on my phone I checked signal strength at my wifi pool equipment which is outside and about 60 feet and 2 walls away from the extension node. Speed was exactly the same as I got when seated 10 feet away with no obstructions. After using for a week have not noticed any wifi drops of signal. 6) I think they have aesthetically pleasing shape but they are maybe 30% larger and heavier than prior Velop units. Also, prior model needed 3 nodes to cover 6000 sq ft – this takes only 2. 7) After initial setup you can access the wifi network using Linksys Smart WiFi on your desktop/laptop. The interface is nice and gives you more or less same access to settings as phone app – including map of attached devices. There is also a Device Prioritization option so you can give certain devices preference on their signal. Changes made here reflect on the phone app and vice a versa. Can list devices alphabetically – which I liked. Stated on box can have more than 50 devices connected. I have 27 and while not all of them are in use at any one time I did run 3 with 5GHz and 3 with 2.4 GHz wireless connections as well as 1 hard wired - all streaming something and I did not notice any impact to picture/voice, etc. Negatives; 1) Price - but I suspect most homes could make due with 1 node (3000 sq ft coverage) which would be cheaper. 2) I found an irritating anomaly between the Linksys phone app and the desktop interface. The device list on the phone will tell you whether device is connected to base or extension using 2.4 or 5 GHz but doesn’t give you the devices IP address. The desktop interface does give you the IP address but doesn’t tell you if device is connected to base or extension and doesn’t indicate how connected (2.4 or 5 GHz) – very frustrating. In either software you can easily rename the device. 3) Due to where the connections are in the back (on an edge and angled) the wires kind of stuck out for me, which I didn’t like particularly in the family room expansion node. I just turned it 45% and problem solved (see pics). I think this is a great 802.11ax option and is for someone who has everything connected using wi-fi and wants the most up to date/fastest connection possible. There really aren’t many 802.11ax devices out there right now so if you currently have an 802.11ac rated router I am not sure this will be worth the upgrade price – unless you are bumping up against maximum devices connected.

Disappointed to find out these access points do not direct clients to the closest access point. Considering the price I expected them to.

Both nodes are the same so people know which means there is no distinct primary router or satellite node specifically. That's not listed or shown but some people might like to know so I'm adding that in. Not as big as you would think either which is great.

If you have a smart home don’t waste your money on anything else. You need this. If you have an existing Linksys it’s even better it will migrate everything over. Don’t waste time buy this and thank yourself for such a smart choice!

Great product and even got additional savings. I have been wanting this product for a long time. I bought it brought it home hooked it up and what a difference it made. Thank you Best Buy for your wonderful product.

Work great, but wish I could target devices to point to certain nodes, and the towers to connect to certain towers only. This is especially annoying after power goes out…

The Best Wifi I Experienced I Havent Had No Problems Its Fast & Range Is Great With Jus 2 Nodes & I Have The Galaxy Note 10+ With It Being Wifi 6 Capable The Max Speed Ive Seen On The Phone Was 1.2Gb Like Holy Crap!!! So This Is Deff Worth The Money

Works well in my 2000 sqft ranch house with a basement. One in the 1st floor and one in the basement. The signal is good all around the house. Use single router before and have some week point, this one solves the problem.

excellent mesh network with speeds over 500mpbs down and 450 up on a 500/500 service. speed remain over 400 down more than 25 feet away from a pod. its in a 4300 sq ft 2 story home and the 2 pods do a fine job

Purchased this new Linksys mesh WiFi 6 system to help with the needs of having to expand the WiFi signal in my house and I’m glad I did though sometimes not often I do have to reboot them due to one tower going offline.

for something that is this pricey, I shouldn't have to reboot this on a monthly basis. otherwise, I like it fine.

It works well and fast I got mid 300 Mbps 15 feet away on my phone for att fiber but the hand off from one node to another node does not seem to happen as i move about. I am low in signal fr main node in the back yard and the secondary node which located in the middle between my iphone and the main node doesnot seem exist or take over but it does work for other devices connected to it. Linksys. Please adjust the firmware for a better hand off. It is pricey and is nice w lot of connection

I had to return it because of massive wifi fluctuations,for 700 $ I was expecting wifi6 could cover 4000sqf house and after about 14 Days of tech support they told me there is something in the house that causes it and they don't know what it is and they can't do anything I tried 2 other different brands but not too happy but tp-link deco x90 was a life saver 15 minutes set up seamless full speed all around, same environment. Didn't work for me

Set up was straight forward and well explained. So far this router has been very reliable. It does not drop signals and the range is incredible.

Finally a solid mesh system! We switch from the Netgear Orbi after constant issues after firmware updates and this VELOP has not let us down yet.
