Best Wifi 6 Mesh router with a great price!
By Luay Y. on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021
My smart 1400sqft multi-story Townhome suffered for a very long time with Wi-Fi issues and couldn't reach the rooftop! Winner is ((( Linksys AX4000 Smart Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router Whole Home WiFi Mesh System, Tri-Band AX Wireless Mesh Router MX8000 ))) I have 43 connected devices including products from Apple, HP, August, Hue, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Samsung, LG, Google Home, and Lutron. They all work great together! Covers my entire house. Zero network issues. Guest network is flawless. Amazing Mobile app, easy to use and very fast. My HomePods by Apple, which I use daily no longer suffer from latency and connection issues streaming music I get all my internet speed at 5Ghz close by and about 300Mbps on 5Ghz within 35 feet, rooftop gets 2Ghz at 60Mbps which isn't as fast as the Asus where I was getting 300Mbps on 5Ghz but I like that it's a lot more stable. Door lock is snappy fast just the way I like it! Believe me this is the best Wifi 6 mesh you will get at this point in time if you have this many devices like myself. I tried: # ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System (XT8 2PK) Pros: Lightning fast (Fastest I have tried so far) Reasonable price. Cons: Guest Wifi DOESN'T work. Worst Mobile App I have tried. Disconnects with my devices A LOT. Very bad with Apple Homepods, music stops out of a sudden. Old look. Wifi name adds an extra character automatically and can't change that except on web. # Amazon eero Pro 6 tri-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 router with built-in Zigbee smart home hub Pros: iPhone app looks great and very fast setup Cons: The slowest Mesh system I have tried to date Only ONE ethernet port Just don't get it. # NETGEAR Orbi WiFi 6 Router with DOCSIS 3.1 Built-in Cable Modem (CBR750) Pros: Speed is consistent but doesn't go over 550Mbps on 5Ghz for Wifi Two in one Modem and Router Nice Mobile app Cons: Setup is pain and using the App is very annoying Devices disconnect all the time Issues with August Issues with Apple Products and Homepods Device is too big - TP-Link AX6000 WiFi 6 Router(Archer AX6000) - NETGEAR Nighthawk 8-Stream Tri-band AX8 WiFi 6 Router (RAX70) - ASUS AX6100 WiFi 6 Gaming Router (RT-AX92U) Pros: TP-Link is the best here and consistent with speed, others are fine too but noticed some issues Cons: They never reach far distances with single point and issues with over 20+ devices I hope this review helps out. I only wrote it because I spent 5 months trying to find the best network for my house! :)

Overpriced, underperformed, terrible customer support
By Bradley T. on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022
I had one of these for about 6 or 7 months. I quickly learned that unless you reboot it once a week throughput will slow to a crawl and then eventually stop. Unfortunately the simplified settings app and website that come with this do not provide for a scheduled reboot like many other devices available at a much lower price. Wi-Fi coverage was ok, but never really achieved the speeds I thought it should. After about six or seven months we got to the point where it required rebooting once a day and then within a week or two it was two or three times a day. I called tech support and it was horrible. On the first call we went through some of the basic issues like channel interference (yes, there is a tool that’s sort of hidden to look for this) and then they had me change the DNS servers in the config and said let us know if that will fix it! I’ve been in in IT for 40 years years and knew immediately that wouldn’t help, so I insisted that they not give up yet and continue to work to prove whether or not it was a hardware issue, which I was pretty sure it was. It has a three year warranty and isn’t cheap. I was hoping for a replacement. They agreed to stay on the line (good thing because it locked up and needed a reboot while we were discussing it). Then they wanted me to unplug it from the power strip and plug it directly into the wall, and then call them back if that didn’t fix it. After much discussion we got past that silly exercise and finally did a factory reset. At that point they chased me off the phone and said call us back if it doesn’t work. We’ll, it didn’t. The above process took about an hour on the phone and we got nowhere on what was clearly a hardware issue. I ended up buying an ASUS Zen WiFi AX6600 tri-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 system (XT8 2PK) after doing a bunch of reading for about half the price of the comparable Velop system. I immediately had better speed than I ever did from the Linksys Velop. I have been very happy with this new router. I’ll never buy another Linksys product.
