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.

You need to buy an Arris modem to pair this router with, then yes.

Wow, you pay $15 a month for renting a router that costs $15 (this one)? Wow, Xfinity has been milking customers, like you, for years! smh

LN1301 is ONE of the most powerful routers out there.

1. Quad Core Processor
2. 2 GB RAM
3. 1 GB Flash with dual partitions
4. 2700 sq ft coverage
5. Tri-band router where the 3rd band will be used for a wireless backhaul

It blows almost all the sub $100 - $200 routers out of the water, imho!

That's not the right build. Use the images for Mx4300 from here : https://github.com/testuser7/open...ax-2540ea6
I was able to switch to the other partition (cycling power multiple times) and boot back to stock firmware. I don't believe mine has HomeWRK firmware as the home page is shown below. If I want to give it another try, is this the correct image I should use?

Can ANYONE who has this flashed advise if it's a great router performance wise and how's the wifi range utilizing this via mesh? I have another deco mesh router, was wondering what would be the best way to bridge both mesh as one?
This will not mesh with exiting Tplink Deco. Either you use stock and mesh with other Linksys Velop, or you go OpenWRT/DD-WRT and use mesh with other OpenWRT devices.

So if I want to do a mesh with this system am I better sticking with stock firmware and going with raingater's method? Or update to open/ddwrt?
I have an orbi rbr50 so I'm assuming this will be an upgrade worth the money. As I have been looking into the orbi 800 series lately.

I personally use tomato on all of my 68u's, much more stable than DD-WRT for me personally.
Is it easy to switch to tomato from merlin. I have 3 AC68u on merlin. Since I'm moving to this linsys LN1301. I can play with other firmware on AC68u

This is a wifi router. But if you want to get rid of the rental fee, you need a cable modem. Xfinity rents you a 2-in-1 router+modem combo unit.
One option is Hitron's CODA56 which is certified by Xfinity for their roll out of mid split upgrades. It goes on sale every so often for $119. Here's the list of approved modems: https://www.xfinity.com/support/i...tomerowned
