3-Pack Linksys Atlas Pro AX5300 WiFi 6 System Expired

Eh, I would avoid this. WiFi 6 is going to be the forgotten middle child. Offers hardly any improvement from 5. WiFi 6E on the other hand is a gamechanger and is worth investing in now.

Amazing how uneducated people here are when it comes to triband and dual band. The average US household last I checked averaged around 125Mbps internet. The standard dualband mesh system from the furthest satilite from a good brand can push around 400Mbps, which well exceeds any average home requirements. At the routers they still get around 800Mbps though which is enough even for the top 10% of home users who are on over 500Mbps ISP packages. Yes if your getting fiber at your house and want to maximize the full 1Gbps you want something better but even 90% of all triband will not come close as they max out between 800-900Mbps. Thats with the exception of two current wifi 6 mesh systems the TP-LINK AX5700 and the bigger brother with the extra antenna the X90 they both wirelessly can push around 1.4Gbps no backhaul needed and yes they are triband. Outside of that only one wifi 6E mesh currently can push that. There are some stand a lone routers that can do that also.

This router mesh set for this price is a pass, its extremely slow no matter how you hook it up, one of the slowest of all the mesh kits out there currently. There are better alternatives, like the TP-LINK Triband X68 if you want a 3 pack or like I mentioned earlier the AX5700 from the same brand but a 2 pack.

Also a lot of people who dont know anything about Wifi6E here most of the time when your getting a new wifi 6E router you will be using WIFI 6 and not 6E unless your always in the same room as your router. The frequency is extremely short and does not do well with walls or obstructions, so Wifi 6E is a bust for almost everyone that does not sit right next to their router or is always in the same room. Not even the Wifi 6E mesh kits that currently came out use the 6E for backhaul cause its just not possible so they revert to Wifi 6.

So please enough with the Wifi 6E cause too many of you are way uneducated about it.

Hello. It seems like you know a lot about wireless routers. I have a 1.2 gb Comcast connection and want to get the best mesh system for my house. I currently have a Velop triband mesh setup and it seems to lose connection a lot. Any recommendations? I don't want to do wireless backhaul. Thanks a lot!

I have an older Linksys Mesh System (linksys-velop-ac2200-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-5-system-3-pack-black/6209705). I upgraded from Apple AirPort Extreme over a year ago. I purchased mine at Best Buy. Paid $200 around Black Friday. No regrets. My system is tri band . This one is only dual band . I'm not sure how important that is. I have never needed to reset or reboot my system . It's very reliable and very fast . I have fiber optic internet provider. My wifi speed is around 480 Mbps upload and download. Which is the speed of my fiber optic service.

Amazon price for a single AX5300 unit is $267. That suggests this is a Slick Deal as far as price . This is $330 for three units.

I have the last gen velop. I found it to be garbage, constantly needing resets.

Then I did some debug and found that the routing was the issue, so I grabbed an ER-X and put the velop into bridge mode. Everything has been cake since then, these are great access points but terrible routers.

If you are not doing wireless go with the Costco TP-Link AX5700 2pack when they are on sale for $290/280 which happens regularly. As I mentioned over wireless to another client they will push around 1.4Gbps which completely maxs out your ISP connection when using the 2.5Gbps port. Only downside of the TP-LINK its a set it and forget it mesh which for a lot of people is actually a plus, but that means you cant tinker or make network adjustments that some people like to toy with.

If you want a greater degree of control and still able to use your full 1.2Gbps connection your next option would be to go with a standalone router the Asus RT-AX86U and you would have to get 2 of them and setup their AiMesh with wired backhaul if one single router is not enough to cover your home, to be clear you would be paying up the nose for the ability to tinker which 99% of users never have to do if you end up getting two of them. The RT-AX86U on the high side hits about 1250Mbps and on the low side around 1050 Mbps so it would be pretty close to maxing out your 1.2Gbps, your next options would increase costs by almost double so going to stop here.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful and thorough response! I'll definitely go the TP-Link route as I don't want to have to tinker too much. Do they have a 3-node setup instead of the two with the same specs? My house doesn't seem to do well with two even though it's only 2,000 sq ft. The walls seem to cause issues. Thanks so much!!

Only buy dual band mesh if your house is wired for ethernet already. Otherwise buy a tri-band mesh.

I have the Velop setup as well. Mine has not been as reliable as yours, requiring not just reboots but resets and re-setups UNTIL I stopped using them as the router and set them as APs in bridged mode and went back to using an older Asus AC1900 as the router. Since then it's been rock solid. I can mow 3 acres and stream music in every far corner.

Does this work well with Fios routers?
