Yes, Linksys LN1301 is a terrific router with 2 GB RAM and 1 GB of flash. Insane! I thought my Netgear R7800 with 512 MB RAM is pretty good until the specs on LN301 blows the R7800 out of the water and is a tri-band router as well!

With wireless mesh (instructions below), it's one heck of a deal and blows DECO AX5000 deal out of the water, imho.

EDIT: UPDATED instructions for enabling MESH (thanks to @rbtcordell for the original source):

1-Setup your Main router completely.

2-Plug your child node using the wan port to the main router lan port, wait for a solid purple light on the child node before proceeding

3-Log into your main router web admin.

4-Click on CA at the bottom right.

5-Click on Connectivity and CA Router setup.

6-Click on both Add Wired and Add Wireless nodes buttons. Wait for the Add wireless button to re-enable.

7-Click Done adding Child Nodes and then Apply.

8-Now the child node light should start flashing purple and turn into a mesh mode when it turns blue.

9-Disconnect Ethernet and wait for blue light again.

10-Move node to desired location.

I got these at the 2 for 50 deal and am using them as APs and they are really great. There is a 3d printed wall mount on thingiverse that is fantastic as well
Are you using the standard firmware, or did you load something else?

With my 500/500 fiber with AP using wired backhaul, on the MR7340, I could get 509Mbps down (284ms active ping), 284Mbps up (94ms active ping) with 0% packet loss. On the MX4300, I was getting 67Mbps down (4018ms active ping), 27Mbps down (213ms active ping) and 1.5% packet loss.
You have something going wrong. A missed setting or something. I had to switch my MTU from 1500 to 1492. Doubled my speeds.

Quote from johndoe35 :
Think for 1 sec. The line is capped at 1Gbps physical limit with a physical connection of cat5e.
And using 80Mhz channel and you expect me to believe anyone can get 900Mbps? Get real.
Maybe you should be the one who should get real. Those speeds are between mesh points. The theoretical max on a 2x2 80MHz ax is 1.2g. This router supports 4x4 on its 3rd radio.

This is using stock firmware, MTU set as Auto. Once you create as a child node, you can't change settings per node. Whatever you set on the main is what is deployed to the child nodes, so no way for this to be any different than the other nodes I have active. Both MR7340 and MX4300 adopted as child nodes with exact same config, test on MR7340, unplug and plug in MX4300, test again, same client, same locations, etc.

MTU won't affect signal strength, though, no way for it to suddenly gain an extra 13dBm. Frown

Is this router really good? How is the range? We have a TP Link router bought few years ago for a house because the range was really bad in areas like basement. It's a wifi 5 router but we didn't care because we just wanted it to work and the range is good.


Is this much better or so? Is it good for a few story house and basement? Even at regular price, this would be a deal or not?

Quote from buy_now_think_later :
I think it's stable but there is no release build for it. You have to use dev builds or compile one. There is a pr there which is looking for reviewers so it could be merged to mainline. My guess is it would take sometime but not a lot since things seems mostly stable. Once the mainline build is there you will out of box support for wireguard etc. I use wireguard on main server so it's important for me.

Here is the pr link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/16070

Link to dev build if you don't want to compile one: https://github.com/testuser7/openwrt/releases
Thank you! I have a NETGEAR RAX20 and I bought one of OP for ddwrt. Thinking about getting another so I can do mesh. Is it worth to get second and do ddwrt for mesh?

I may just use dev one as I may not be compiling.

Yes, it can work as a satellite (wireless mesh node).
Do you happen to know the bandwidth of the wireless backhaul between the router and the satellite?

You can make the third radio the wireless backhaul. It's a 4x4 config on 5ghz high channels. People have reported close to 1gbps on the mesh links.
