You cannot mesh on one, so minimum spend $400 on these. Seems overpriced to begin with.

I ordered the Ax4200 linksys wifi 6 system from Costco deal previously and they have not been good. Sporadic outages, need restarts, buggy. I have a Orbi system in a different house that is night and day better.

This was on sale earlier this month as well for same price and I ordered but never opened it. I later purchased Asus AX82U for 180$ which I'm happy so far.

I'll agree. I have my two routers placed on two floors but directly above one another with nothing but the floor between them, and the satellite one is disconnected from the parent node ever so often and need restarting or the linksys app will not detect it even if it is blue. Would not buy this again.

The premium is mostly for the AX5300 spec. But I highly doubt anyone needs home internet that is capable of 5.3Gbps transfer speeds. Better off getting finding something with AX1800 or similar for half the price and be able to afford at least 2-3 units around the house.

Don't often see the term 1 pack to describe a single item.

This system for the speeds you get is pure trash, I would not even pay $100 for a one pack that on average only get speeds around 600Mbps.... Complete and total pass!

LOL. You are absolutely right. They really "mess"ed it up.

I've had the MX10 (2-pack) since these came out. I've had tons of issues that have been consistent. Tons of authentication issues, have to reboot about once a week just to get the bugs out...would not recommend.

Avoid linksys routers. They have stopped supporting guest network, a huge inconvenience.

Everyone seems to crap on these Linksys routers whenever a deal pops up, but I've personally had a pretty good experience with them. Fast, solid connection throughout my 2500 sq ft home with my 400mbps internet.

edit: just to add, this isn't really much of a deal. I got wifi 5 version for $49. Also, if you're into the latest and greatest, I'd wait for a wifi 6E router, they should be hitting the market soon and make a much bigger difference in performance than 6.

This was a very good suggestion for slick deals.

This all said, for other people to learn from:

Wifi6 is a lame marketing term. Remember that Wifi6 is the same thing as AX.

When you remember that it's AX it becomes relatively easy to figure out the model number's meanings from most of these routers. If it has an X in it it's usually AX (AKA Wifi6).

The following number for almost every modern router is the maximum data speed in Mbps. So this is an AX router with a maximum data speed of 5,300 Mbps or 5.3Gpbs.
