Think a lot of slickdealers got to hoard the Linksys MX4300. Bought 3 myself for $15 each.

Similar performance at the fraction of the cost.

Last time I got LINKSYS MX10600 2pcs, I'm running on it my smart devices (50+) and works like a charm, comparing to TP-Link AX system day and night.
I'm going to replace TP Link Deco 6E with these two bad boys Smilie

I bought a couple of these off eBay a few months ago for $100 but, went back to my Asus ax86u pros because the lack of 160mhz band on the 5g radio made it slower. 6e was fast but has extremely short range.

filling these with 1Gb ports is baffling and keeping me from pulling the trigger on several i have seen lately

Can this be hardwired for backhaul? If yes, what is the port speed? (1g, 2.5g, 10g)

Yes at least what I know based on YouTube reviews but unfortunately only via 1Gb port even if WAN is 5Gb

Thanks for the info. I have a 2 gig Fibre and would prefer wired backhaul so looking for something with 2.5g+ dual ports (one for internet and one for backhaul on the primary router)
TP Links Deco BE 25 seems to be the only affordable option. (Yes I know US planning to ban)

Maybe not you, but slickdeals members as a large whole took advantage.

Two separate times the deal became active the thread is in the top 20 for posts for the last year.

Works great, meshes easy. Plenty fast for the 1gb WAN port. Configurable since if you get multiple can use as routers or APs.
