specs say dual band?
Correct, "Dual Band" is one 2.4GHz radio and one 5GHz radio.

The LN1301 is Tri-Band, with one 2.4GHz radio and two 5GHz radios.

Is it safe to use Factory Reconditioned's wifi mesh? Will the original user implant some programs to steal the information of my wireless device?

One problem with SD is that the "special interests" (or subject matter experts) are well-intentioned, but tend to dominate threads on tools, computer gear, etc, and all we regular people hear before our eyes glaze over is that if you just spend 10x as much and customize all the settings, you'll get twice the performance Smilie

This is tempting, I'm tired of frankensteining our home mesh together with repeaters.

You're right, 2013
I remember Belkin products being worst than Linksys, no much future with these routers unless we get open source support (DD-WRT, etc.)

I think our question is: which one is the slick deal?
This^

I'm leaning towards the MX10600 to replace my TP-Link Deco W6000 but would love to make sure that's the way to go

I don't know if these are still supported by Linksys, worth checking, but I had the wifi6 models and they gave me a lot of grief.

I used wired backhaul. The day before thanksgiving years ago Linksys put out a bad firmware update that broke wireless backhaul. Had to wire each unit to a laptop and roll back firmware.

That aside, the units would randomly go offline or slow to a crawl, reboots generally resolved. The biggest issue/concern though is at complete random, one node would broadcast the mesh ssid clear and open, no wpa/encryption protection. To compound the issue, it's not something easy to detect, you'd need to use a wifi scanner app. I only noticed when my device wouldn't connect to the nearest node and when I looked it was expecting a wpa2 protected ssid but was seeing an open one. To my shock, I was able to connect to it without any passphrase.

There were other little things like nodes would randomly go "yellow" meaning signal interference or signal too hot after being fine for weeks.

At the time I reached out to Linksys and it was an incredibly slow and frustrating process that started with me having to sign a long legal document absolving them of any liability. Ultimately they gave me a beta firmware but the issues persisted and I threw in the towel.

I guess ymmv. If you want some cheap nodes to play with, try custom firmware, lab setup, etc. might be a decent option. But wouldn't rely on it for your everyday "daily driver" setup. I've since switched to the tplink omada line. It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with the setup and cost/value for the features.

Meh, only $15 for a mesh system, but they avoid mentioning what standard it supports (AC?) or even the model #. Stick Out Tongue

It's a very good deal for mesh system as of 2024. But AC1200 is very slow for wifi as of 2024.
