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.

I'm not in front of the unit so I can't give you the exact range, but the power adapter supports international voltages.
Would appreciate much if you could check that exactly, as on ebay I can either find linksys adapters with only up to 110-120 volts, while looking for the confirmation to be up to 220-240 also.

It's definitely up to either 220 or 240V but I don't remember exactly which.

I remember that someone else posted the exact voltage range a few pages back.

No, but it does say "Powered by tanaza" at the bottom of the page
This is all I could find on Tanaza.

But I could not find anything further regarding support for the LN1301/MX4300.

It's kind of random, but I did run across a couple of other MX4300 routers showing up publicly online that appear to be running a firmware 3.10.2 and say Linksys at the top and "powered by Tanaza" at the bottom …

http://75.140.16.20/
http://47.6.177.195/

And Linksys has some info on their website about "Third Party Software Used In MX4300v1 Version 3.10.2" which it seems like may be related to that FW …

https://downloads.linksys.com/sup...3.10.2.pdf

Nothing useful really, but just random tidbits. Smilie

For sure up to 240v. My unit also came with the 3 types of plugs you can swap out for UK/US/Asia plugs.

May be with OpenWRT, it would but you would need OpenWRT on your existing router as well.

Not as a wifi extender, but it works as an access point, which means you need to have a wired connection to your router. Or get 2, one to replace your current wifi router/AP and the second as a wireless mesh. (It also works as a wired mesh, but I assume if you have a wired connection, you would just use one as an AP)

These do mesh with other Velop AX/Wifi6 devices, but cross-protocol mesh of AC <-> AX is not going to be a thing that works.

Anyone that ordered on the 29th get any positive shipping yet?
My order from the 29th still says "preparing for shipment" with an estimated delivery date of 9/17.
My previous order from the 26th had an estimated delivery date of 9/11 but was actually delivered on 8/31 :o
