I have to disagree with you there. I have 64 devices connected to four LN1301s in a router + mesh network and performance has been decent and stable for nearly a week now. I have 16 IP cameras streaming 1080p video 24/7 as well. (Half of them via Ethernet bridging with the mesh nodes)

Mind you that I only have 100Mbps Spectrum internet but I do stream/direct play 4k videos from a Plex media server to several Amazon Firestick 4k devices without issue. Overall IMO you would be hard pressed to find such relatively decent hardware for so cheap; especially a Mesh network.

It wasn't all smooth at first mind you. I kept getting disconnects; especially with the streaming IP cameras. But I discovered by disabling Express Forwarding all my streaming issues went away. (CA>Connectivity>Administration>Express Forwarding)

I'm guessing that Cisco's/Linksys' proprietary Express Forwarding routing protocol was causing havoc with the IP cams streaming capabilities. Also, disabling Node Steering seemed to make things more stable as well; mesh nodes no longer disconnect from the router when Node Steering is disabled. (CA>Wi-Fi Settings>Advanced>Node Steering)

User feedback across two years indicates better performance with all three off. Express forwarding seems to negatively affect streaming. Node steering interferws with Google Home and Apple Homekit. Client steering slows connection down if you have more than one router.

Of course, user experience can vary so feel free to experiment. if the routers are giving you problems, try turning these features off and see if it works

Still waiting for mine to ship from the last $15 deal. Just checked and Woot says SEPT 13. Hasn't even shipped yet.

It's not a deal if you never receive it.

Anyone running this in a garage without climate control? The garage is a detached garage in the Houston area.. And it gets super hot in the summer.

At $20 I can buy two and avoid buying an outdoor rated unit. Basically, looking to use it as an AP on my existing Asus mesh. I do have a cat 6 run in my garage, but just need the WiFi...

Yup. Just switch it to "bridge mode". That disables firewall/dhcp etc and its just an AP with a built in switch.
The LAN ports are not disabled? Thanks.

Seems inadvisable. The environmental specs in the Linksys Velop MX4000 series user guide [linksys.com] says

Operating Temp. 32° to 104° F (0 to 40° C)
Operating Humidity 10% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing

Houston is a hot & muggy place in the summer.

Im also using an ASUS mesh and need one (maybe 2) so I can hide and connect a NAS to it. The LAN ports have not been disabled right? I like your outdoor idea so considering it too with the 2nd unit.

Guys, these are great on openwrt, just fyi, no 80mhz+, triband ax @40mhz width, which is perfectly fine, if you need 2gbe, you can lacp 2 ports if you're capable. These things are built for reliability, originally 600$

I thought 80mhz mode was "auto" and then you could manually limit it to 40 or 20?

If you dont beat on it you should be ok. It is rated for 104f. And the cpu is underclocked, and its dynamic. So unless you have it sitting in a sunny window and doing a gigabit solid...

I'm with you. These are horrible. It may be okay with small number of devices and someone that doesn't monitor and look for good performance.

11 to 12 watts sounds about right

I cannot find this information, even on Linksys website. Is this ONLY 2.4Ghz or is it both 5 + 2.4? Thanks! (Amazon says 2.4 and doesn't list any other)
