    I placed two units upstairs and one downstairs and had the whole system setup in 30 minutes or less. Super easy.

    Replaced my Netgear Nighthawk X6 that I'd had for a few years, but always had dead spots in my house, and some slow spots. With this when I run speed test on WiFi devices, I get 200 to 250 Mbps (the max my service is rated at) in most areas, and in the dead spot I put one of the satellite units so I get 200+ Mbps there now! Major improvement over old router. I did buy on Black Friday sale which made it a good cost / benefit.

    First node went fine, second node went fine, third node acted up. Once I got it going wirelessly, set it up to use Ethernet per manufacturers instructions. This worked but I noticed major drops in speed and node switching was almost non existent. This happened while it was set up wirelessly as well. App is useless, showed devices connected to wrong nodes, and wouldn't show some devices that were connected, I could ping these using the app, but wouldn't show them connected. This makes parental controls useless. Some forums are telling people to ignore the app....What? Linksys pushes the app from the get go, and makes the user hunt for the web interface, which doesn't seem to have all the same features as the app. This system was supposed to replace a well functioning Linksys EA9500. The app for that works fine. This app for this system, not so much. I would log in and it would show 10 devices connected, close the app and restart immediately and it would show 18 devices connected. It would report node disconnection when there was none. One node would get bypassed altogether by every device even if it was right next to it, the only way to get something to connect to it was to force it by shutting wifi off on the device and then turning back on. Even then after a few moments it would disconnect and move to any other node. These were not placed in a bad spot, was told by set up app that placement was,"just right". I even ordered three more nodes thinking I got a bad batch, and was planning on returning the first three. I tried every configuration for an entire weekend. Reset to factory settings, reinstalled, etc. etc., but no go, same issues as the first three. I really wanted this to work. When You look at the forums you'll see that every problem I ran into, is listed and talked about, These are not new problems. This is a very competitive market for mesh systems and it seems like Linksys rushed this out for people to buy and they would fix the problems as they came in. A very Microsoft way of doing things. For the price that's charged for these, you would think they would have tested this a little more thoroughly. I like Linksys, I have only used Linksys routers and switches but this product for me is a HUGE fail. I packed all six nodes up and returned to best buy. Unpacked my EA9500, which I had already set to factory settings to sell, and hooked it back up using the smart wifi app. Was up and running in 6 1/2 minutes...yes, I timed it. I would recommend holding off buying this until these issues have been addressed. Do your own research and you'll see.

    Was sold a 3 pack by salesman because he said I would need three. Installer only installed two and told me to save the third one as a spare, or for an upstairs or garage television if we should ever get one. Could have saved $100 by purchasing a two pack. Was not offered that option by installer. Works ok but still have streaming issues from time to time.
