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.

Does anyone know if these can work as extra children with a Linksys mx2000 mesh system ?

Currently have three units with Ethernet backhaul. Curious if this can be used with the backhaul or wireless.

I have the same question. Not sure if one needs to remain plugged in to the router as a "parent" and the other extras are placed elsewhere as children, or can the parent also be moved to a standalone location as well and still feed the children. If it needs to remain plugged into the router as a parent to broadcast, then I need one more.
They can use wireless backhall, meaning don't need to remain plugged in to parent via Ethernet. With stock firmware you cannot specify which 5ghz band to be used as backhall.

Get one or two that's the question. Currently using a single Asus/T-Mobile with Merlin and it works okay.

Any idea if this is better than the Deco AX3000?
The main advantage I see is a USB port and extra network port vs the deco having better support and more number of devices 150 (on Deco) vs 40 on this.

But the parent needs to remain plugged in, is my question? All children can be wireless but the parent has to be plugged into the main router.

Quote from RevPizzaguy :
I very much doubt any of these have warranty. They seem to be coming from Sohnen Enterprises, who seems to be loading the special de-Fortinet'ed firmware and packaging them back up. My units had a fair amount of dust visible in the crevices that I could see. I would not count on any support, warranty, or firmware updates from Linksys. Heck, Linksys doesn't even seem to provide firmware updates for retail units past a year or so if you're lucky. Take this as a, this is dirt cheap hardware to tinker with, if it happens to work ok for your use case great, but don't expect the kind of after-sale experience you get on a regular retail $200-$300 router system with a similar level of hardware.
FWIW worth, when the piece of paper that passes for a manual couldn't tell me what a solid purple LED meant I looked it up on the linksys site (means ready for setup). It had a chat function and the tech was very helpful getting it configured. I suspect that since the spectrum modem requires the router to know the MAC, the spectrum supplied router had already been configured when they boxed the pair up.

Correct, parent needs to be fed wired, it can't (at least with stock firmware) take a wireless signal in and repeat it through the rest of the nodes.

Wow, that's great! I saw Woot lists a 1yr warranty and the Linksys EOL page lists May 19, 2026 as the End of Support for the MX4300 with the EOL date back in 2021. Wonder how that will all sort out...
