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

In fact, I have enabled Express Forwarding on my Linksys MR9000 mesh mode (2 nodes) for over two years and I get almost full bandwidth on my 500 Mbps link, both upload and downloads and the uploads are consistently in the 510 Mbps range.
FWIW, I am super duper impressed with stock firmware on these Linksys units as they are much better than OpenWRT, imho.
PS: I have node steering + client steering enabled as well.
This may be specific to ln1301 but in general, based on forums and reddit, node/client steering is a bad move for velop or mx routers.i will be experimenting with express forwardng.
could you help me out with ipv6 address issue. I am NOT sure if it is a router issue or ISP issue.
I am on xfinity and my ipv6 address will dropped or no longer available after like 30is min. ( OEM firmware ) And if I restart my router, I will able to get ipv6 again.
This does not happen to me when I am on my other router. Does anyone has this issue, or is there anything I can do? thanks
Back to the OEM firmware:
- mtd -e kernel -n write FW_MX4300_1.0.4.215382_prod.img kernel
and:Okay, now to the MX4300, I immediately flashed on latest beta build of DDWRT and after some configuration and fine tuning, everything is stable. I have a Wireguard VPN tunnel setup for my security cameras and other personal devices, something that my last router could not handle in the past without bogging down. I am amazed by how much traffic it can handle with ease and for the price, this is amazing value. What I was also surprised by was the size of this thing, this thing is the size of a brick.

Can I use them as extenders or access points in any way if I have ethernet ports throughout the house?
