From what i can find this kit is 2 MX4000 (AX4000) or MX4200 (AX4200). On Woot it says MX8000 (AX4000) but in the description says MX8400 (AX4200). All 3 are pretty much the same device with only a couple differences.

Range - Same on all (2700 sq ft)
CPU - Same on all (Qualcom IPQ8174)
RAM - MX4000/MX4200 could have either 512MB (V1) or 1GB (V2) and LN1301(MX4300) has 2GB
Antennas - Appears to be the same on all (8 internal)
Wifi Speeds - 2.5Ghz same on all, 5Ghz 2x2 same on all, 5Ghz 4x4 the MX4000 only can do up to 2200mbps while the MX4200/LN1301 can do 2400mbps

Another thing to mention is that the LN1301 actually has 1GB of flash. From what i can find on all models its split into two partitions each containing a copy of the firmware. After 5 failed boots it switches to the secondary/backup partition to boot. So usable flash on MX4000/MX4200 should be 256MB and LN1301 is 512MB.

if my guess is correct the (MX8400) is two Mx4200 pack, and my suggestion is NOT getting those.
because I had purchased the three pack version AX12600 (3 * Mx4200). It is terrible. The mesh connection always slow and not able to connect.

then I read the review says, there are two version of this v1 & v2 , apparently the v1 i having a lots of issues (the one I got). v2 might have fixed it, but there is no way knowing which version you got until you received it.

Well this removes some of my "SD high" from the ln1301 but that still was fun buying too many and finding they actually work well.

Can these really be refub or just label refurb once foxcon belkin learned how quickly woot sold the others?

Can't imagine people still need WiFi upgrade after all the deals but maybe. If staying on stock these are probably safer to assume updates.

I'm still happy with my LN1301 still on stock for now

Can you mesh this deal with LN1031?
Most likely, I'll be finding out soon

Update: Confirmed mesh with LN1301

This seems like a great deal but I have an unhealthy amount of LN1301 routers in my house already along with a few others like the archer6 from earlier SD deals.
Same. Will not be able to buy router deals for the next 6 years.

No, it's just easier to setup since mesh is natively supported on these.

The ln1301 is actually a MX4200 with an additional gig of ram and an additional 512mb flash memory. They just locked down the mesh features in the CA menu on the ln1301.

How Linksys calculates their numbers is adding the nodes.

MX4000 node x 2 is MX8000
MX4200 (ln1301) node x2 is MX8400

Etc add a third node the number just increases again.
It is mentioned as 8400 in the woot specification page.

That's how mesh works. It's only good with a wired backhaul if you care about performance. These are great routers at this price totally untouchable.
That's my own experience. I have moca 2.0 wired back haul and the widespread really well in a three story house.

Oh wow, if this deal for the MX8000 is what I think it is and provides you with 2 MX4200, then this would be an even better deal than the LN1301, as the stock firmware would be in much better shape and also is officially supported by OpenWRT.

It has inferior specs though. Dd-wrt says that the MX4200 has 1GB of memory while the MX4300 has 2GB of memory. The MX4300 probably gets official support from openwrt at some point. DD-WRT works fine with Mx4300.

People have gotten it working you probably just have to follow the ln1301 mesh procedure
