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.

set it as an Access Point.
1. Disable DHCP (optional)
2. Set the device to Bridge Mode under Connectivity tab
3. Connect cable from your router to a LAN port.
4. Get some nail polished and a round sticker to cover the annoying flashing right light.
5. Click the 'AC' at the bottom of the page to see the detail configurations of wifi.

so if you do openwrt does it lose the ability to do mesh? Sorry don't use this software yet to know if it brings this limitation as I assume you need linksys software to do their way o mesh

What would be the best configuration to add a single Linksys LN1301 to an existing M9Deco setup? Should the Linksys LN1301 be placed b4 the M9 setup or vice versa? Looking to extend current M9 range.
Off topic. I also own the M9 Plus and I got a firmware update today. Did you check yours if you did?

Is there a limit of how many you can mesh? Just returned my Eero as I wasn't happy with the speed drop off from one mesh to the next. I have an Asus router now and it's been amazing. Hoping for the same with this model but want to expand using mesh.
Mesh isn't officially supported with this model, but looking at the docs for other Linksys Velop models "You can add as many nodes to your home as you'd like. Linksys recommends one to two nodes per floor."

I've seen it mentioned many times this unit can be meshed.

You can put this on bridged mode. If done on the parent node it'll configure the child nodes.

Yes it can be meshed using the CA support menu, but if you ask Linksys they will say that mesh is not officially supported.

I am using current as wired ap on stock firmware. You have to bridge it and assign preferallly a static ip on main Routers. Also ensure you disable dhcp on Linksys...

What kind of speed drop off do you see between the main hub and a node?

FYI, for those interested in running these on stock, at least to begin with - the app can indeed be your friend as it adds a couple useful features over the web interface alone. First, it does not require that you create a cloud account (though you can) if you are accessing the system locally. Second, it does have a channel scan and selection utility that runs and can set better channels than the router does automatically and outside the limited list of 5 channels the web interface lists. As someone also mentioned- it can also visually display the mesh status, as well as adds easy to use additional and parental controls per each client. So, dies not make a profound difference, but better than I expected.[/QUOTE

I used web interface with only router pwd. Still no account. The little CA text at the bottom right is easy to miss but Wifi Icon on 2nd mesh backhaul, when wired backhaul showed different connection icon.

I do agree in some ways app was easier to see when 2nd AP finally was connected as a child not a independent AP.

Only been two days on stock with 2 only until last arrive. Once setup pain is over (took me 10+ tries) going from wifi backhaul to wired, and back this morning fine.

Not sure many people will not get too frustrated to setup mesh and who knows longterm reliability. I'm giving this to someone else so want to keep stock FW.

http://192.168.1.1/sysinfo.cgi shows inconstant info. Linksys used to be decent decade + back. Now software is so bad and wifi can be so frustrating for non techies.
Linksys stated that app is not supported for this device, may I know how you are able to access the device locally with the app and without creating an cloud account?

Across two levels, almost nothing. Stunned at the speed. Third level straight above the second node is 70% strong, farther corner is 25% strength
