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.

Is there any reason to upgrade to a WiFi 6 router if your internet plan is only 50Mbps and you live in a small apartment? Would it make a difference?

It's more and more common for the router to be actually free, or at least, built in to the price with no adjustments. I've had fios in 3 different apartments (all in same city though) and there's no router charge or rebate if you had your own router. I will say it is also helpful if you are complaining about speeds they can't say it's your router.
Yes but the rental all in one units are never as good as having your own router such as this

We rent our router through Xfinity/Comcast for $15/month. Would this replace that or would I need something else?
Isn't xfinity a combination cable modem and router both?

I believe so. I guess that's what I'm asking. So I would still need a modem?

If your current wifi speeds are what the internet provides (2.4ghz would do 50Mbpsmjust fine)..you don't need this.

this router is more for tweakers, it's a weird model

All of my nest pros are hardwired

You would need a modem too. The Xfinity one is a gateway whereas the op is just a router. A gateway is a modem and router in one.

Yes, this is just the router. Modems can be pretty affordable, though I don't see threads for them too often.

Is the OP code "GEARUP4FALL" still working?

Also, how it compares with Asus AX-86U? With similar in-home network support like Asus AiMesh?

Linksys routers, along with Netgears, are known to come with hardwired security backdoors all the way to the NSA. There's no freaking way to spend money and invite a spy home. Guys, consider you have been warned, and don't act surprised when you hear "FBI, open the door" one day.
What are you doing that the FBI would come knocking on your door?

Quote from buy_now_think_later :
Exactly... In my openwrt based onhub I run Adguard home and wireguard server.. then use an Omada AP which covers 90% of my 3 storied home.. only the edges are a trouble so I got two of them. I am thinking of moving my home assistant from rpi4 to this once openwrt support is stable
Quote from buy_now_think_later :
No advantage but i can free up my raspi for some other project... In HomeAssistant i mainly run Teslamate duckdns let's encrypt and allow something's to be controlled by Alexa or Google assistant which I have linked to my HomeAssistant. What I basically want to do is get docker running in openwrt to make it a general purpose computer but I had some issues on my Asus OnHub. But in general openwrt for new comers may be challenging but it's worth it.... You get a full Linux installation with complete flexibility. I have separate vlans - lan/guests/iot/streaming and all Chromecast in streaming but lan and guests can still cast to them... Initially I planned on openwrt as main router and bought Omada Ap wifi 7 but then this was tempting so got 2. Once openwrt works on these from mainline build i will repurpose my main OnHub for something else or sell it on fb
Hey dude you are blowing my mind right now! If you are willing, can you answer a couple questions?

1. Are you running HomeAssistant in a Docker container on OpenWRT? I'm new to OpenWRT but not to docker or raspberry pi stuff.

2. How do you get IOT and guests to be on different VLANs yet still be castable by everyone?

Thanks in advance!

I didn't need a new router but considering my current router is an asus rt-ac68u, this has to be better than it even on stock firmware.

So about $0.0018 per hour or $15.88 per year.
Multiply that by 5 if you live in California.

My main wifi already sucks, will this router make my main router better? I already ordered it by the way today just a few secs ago.
