Linksys MX8000 Velop Mesh WiFi 6 System: AX4000, Tri-Band Wireless Network for Full-Speed Home Coverage, 5,400 sq ft Range (White, 2-Pack)

I was pretty surprised by a few things. if there had been any instructions beyond the quick start guide, this would've been an awesome swap. I moved from an older Linksys router to this one and I chose this one specifically because I have a child node from LInksys that would work with this new unit. anyhow, the swap from the old router to the new one could've been a lot smoother (no instructions on swapping). the app that goes with the Linksys hardware has a spot that makes adding or replacing hardware seriously easy. didn't know that till I was over halfway through the process. I've also got one PC that is hardwired to my router and that one PC wouldn't access the internet through the hardline and any browser would immediately redirect back to the "get the app for your phone here" page. pretty annoying. with all of that said, once the app decided, "oh hey, are you swapping the router?" and then it was a seriously quick process. the child node that came with it also set up pretty quick. the firmware update took about 15 minutes but the unit stayed active and usable nearly the whole time. speed to my phone definitely feels faster but, I've not run any speed tests to prove it. I haven't use the parental controls (I just don't need them) but, I can say they are there in the menus along with a guest network if you so need it. the range is at last as good as what i had so I can't really swear to the overall range limits.

Picked up the two pack thinking I could easily find another child node easily. I have had trouble even figuring out what the right matching model number would be. I am surviving with two but a third would be nice. This purchase was to replace a Linksys AC router that was aging and to cover a few dead spots in the house. It was easy to setup. I did have an issue getting it setup because I had initially connected both Ethernet cables from my NAS. After realizing I needed to do this afterwards, setup was a breeze. It takes a little time getting used to a mesh when you are used to a single router. It just acts different. But it works just fine. I have a 3200 sq ft L shaped two story house and coverage is good. Back haul is still wi-fi. The app has always needed work and has always needed more features with regards to granular router settings. I've used Linksys for a couple decades and haven't seen a real improvement in all that time. Uploading large files to my NAS is very fast. I am a heavy streamer and have had no buffering that I could blame the mesh for. I have seen random disconnects from some Motorola mobile devices but that could be the phones themselves. I would recommend to a friend and already have.

So the price of these nodes/satellites nears the bottom tier of commercial grade network systems. These are marketed as a consumer product; however, do not have the security features commercial grade products would typically include. That said, this is a top line consumer system with some better features than I have seen on similar products. Set up is super easy with the use of Linksys's app and it provides a strong stable connection throughout my house. One thing I wish I was able to do easily in the parental controls is ban certain websites throughout the network. While this can be done with someone with above average networking knowledge, the app allows you to block sites on a per device only basis. A plus is that this system allows for WPA3 encryption for devices that support it. It also has a feature (Channel Finder) that will scan your networks channels and recommend the strongest channel assignments when things seem a bit off and give you the best performance for your netork. This is very useful for those without the knowledge of how channels work. Overall, I believe this is the best consumer grade mesh system on the market today. In other words, great for home use. The price is a bit too high though, especially considering there are only 4 LAN ports on the back of the device. If you are looking for products for your business (small or large), I would recommend Ubiquiti or SonicWall products. Something I learned for my own business is that commercial equipment does not include a WPS button. However, you do have the ability to turn of WPS functionality on this device and I recommend doing so. How easy would it be for anyone who gained access to your home, either with permission or without, to gain access to your network using the WPS button. Just food for thought.

Excelente producto, lo estoy usando junto con el MX5300 y funciona muy bien.

Muy buen producto

El router efectivamente proporciona una alta velocidad de transmisión, todo depande de la capacidad del Modem de entrada. En mi caso el Linksys AX4200 proporciona 700 Mbps si estas cerca de él, conforme te alejas la velocidad va bajando, por ejemplo, a 5 metros del router, sin ningún obstáculo, la velocidad baja a 450 Mbps. La otra situación es el tipo de paredes que tengas el tu casa o departamento; si son de tablaroca es muy probable que el alcance sea mayor, en mi caso las paredes son de ladrillo y simplemente por atravesar una pared la velocidad se reduce a 250 Mbps y si son 2 o más paredes prácticamente no llega señal y hay que poner routers adicionales para extender la cobertura. Creo que este es un problema común a todos los routers y el sistema Velox de Linksys, tomando en cuenta lo anterior, es de lo mejor que he tenido

No funciono y se veia usado el equipo
