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.

Stock firmware. Vlp01v1 is thr model of my child node
I want to use it to extend my Verizon WiFi range, setting it as a connected AP does nothing why would I want a bridge connected via LAN sitting next to my Verizon router? I needed a wireless extender. Wasted $20 and a couple hours.
Just get a long Ethernet and run it to where you need to. Wired back haul will get you the best performance anyways.
Never done it but there might be a way to turn it into a wifi extender with openwrt. Wifi extenders aren't recommended as they slow your network down, but if you are going to get one anyways or can't get an Ethernet cable going maybe this will help. Id probably wait for the openwrt community to mature and get a chance to iron out the bugs on this router first however. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-us...figuration
They're the same. Depending on the reseller it might even say mx4301 on the box.
Yes on box it is written as MX4301 only but on the actual router Model number is printed as MX4300. But no where I can see LN1301
They're the same. The mx4300 is the LN1301. The mx4301 is originally what they were and came with the fortinet software. They sandpapered the fortinet print off, under the Linksys logo, stuck new labels underneath, and shipped em in the same box.
Id also link you to the Linksys articles but seems Linksys recently deleted mx4300 off their site. Wonder if they already dropped support :o

Take one from me
Reset and start again for the mesh nodes only? And re-add the nodes through the app or wired SD special method?
Or the whole thing router included? I am using main node in router mode and have 30+ reservations 😢

I set the additional mesh APs up from the website/CA section.
All that said, did you try power cycling the mesh nodes to see if that reset the backhaul?
