They're in completely different leagues. The main challenge with the LN1301 is that it has been out of stock on Woot for ~six months, with only quantities of two or fewer available sparsely. However, hardware-wise the LN1301 is tri-band 2x2/2x2/4x4. The Atlas here is a standard dual-band 2x2/2x2. The extra band on the 1301 means significantly more capacity and less network congestion, unless you're planning on using a wired backhaul via Ethernet cable, then they'd perform about the same. The 1301 also has great OpenWrt support for tinkerers, whereas the Atlas does not. It also comes with more RAM and flash storage (like 4x the capacity), which doesn't make really any difference on the stock firmware, but if you were more custom and did put OpenWrt on there, it'd make a difference.

The pro models are solid, but only have 2x2/4x4 dual-band configuration, not a tri-band with two 5GHz radios. That 4x4 data pipe is pretty tempting though, but but both models suffer from the issue of no dedicated backhaul.

The $36 Atlas 6 three-pack would realistically cover a 3-story, 3500 sq ft house if you drop one node on each floor. Just know they're dual-band 2×2, so user traffic and back-haul share the same 5 GHz radio. Expect probably ~50-100 Mb/s on the top floor, the weakest link in your connection, which would be fine for most general use.
Heavy use (say, 3–4 simultaneous 4K streams at 20 Mb/s each on the top floor AP) could potentially choke that 2×2 link. Your other floors would likely be fine though. However, I'd reccomend that If you want faster, more consistent speeds without pulling Ethernet, go tri-band wifi 6 or better. I like the Velop MX4200 or MX5300 sets. They pop up on Woot, cost more usually, but their dedicated 5 GHz back-haul keeps ~70-80 % of your bandwidth at every node (through each floor). They are a bit pricier than the Atlas system here though, where this is $36, and a used Mx4200 or 5300 3 pack is probably around $100 (ebay).
The Atlas Pro 6 sits in between the options here with a wider 4×4 pipe but still dual-band, so floor-to-floor hops can still bottleneck. For seamless multi-floor performance, I'd reccomend you to stick with something tri-band Wi-Fi 6, or just go with this if you dont want to spend the ~$100+ for a tri band system.

I got a TP Link MX8500 3 pack from woot for $70. Mind blowing good deal. I think these woot router deals are the best deals on the internet for what you get.

Linksys should just make more 1301's at this point. People would buy loads of them for $50, slap openwrt on them, linksys doesn't even have to care about the firmware. They'd print money.
How about ddwrt? There is no hardware acceleration of the OpenWRT support.

I noticed these units haven't had an update since 2022. Are people buying these specifically to use non-Linksys firmware to maintain security?

Anyone know why my LN1301 mesh setup never reconnects to the internet after a power outage (flashing red)? I have to turn off the mesh nodes and power cycle the parent router each time then bring the nodes back online after? It's so annoying!

Never had luck with these, every time the power went out, you have to set up your entire mesh network again from scratch. A real headache!
Check their forums and Reddit. Common complaint.

We switched to Orbi.

Are these not a better deal FastEther?https://computers.woot.com/offers...6-system-1
That's a deal for the Atlas AX5300, which is still a dual-band router, 2.4GHz 2x2 + 5GHz 4x4, so the main difference between the AX5300 and MX20MS3 is that you get a 4x4 5GHz band. The 4x4 bumps peak capacity, but because the same 5GHz radio handles clients and mesh backhaul, the wireless hops will still chop usable throughput by roughly ~50%+-10% at each hop. I'd say it isn't really that much of an upgrade. However, if it was Tri band + Wi-Fi 6, it'd be a nice upgrade, as those usually keep 70-85% of that throughput per wireless hop. Unfortunately those are not on sale right now, however, if you can run a wire to these Atlas nodes, that backhaul bottleneck would disappear, as the wireless contention will be eliminated. In a wired scenario, I'd expect many of the routers that have been sold recently like the Atlas Pro 6 AX5300, MX5300/MX4200/LN1301, and MX20MS3 to all perform roughly the same for almost all devices.

To anyone considering buying these I would suggest spending $20 more for the pro model with two 5 GHz bands.

OP add that these are factory reconditioned in the title and description.

These appear to have some DD-WRT and OpenWRT support, but YMMV.
This is apparently the same as the Linksys MX2000, so search for that if you want alternative firmware.

No OpenWrt stable release at this time, only snapshots which can create some issues if you're not familiar with OpenWrt. It would most likely have support in the next stable release though.

DD-WRT is in perpetual beta and hasn't had a stable release since 2008. I don't see any MX2000 beta support anyway.

I have a little experience with Velop a year or two ago at this point. I moved away because the controls were too restrictive. This is great for people who want to set it and forget it, especially if you have ethernet backhaul. If you are anywhere near prosumer, at least where these were at a year or two ago, you would be totally bummed out.

being dual‑band, it lacks a separate 5 GHz channel reserved solely for node-to-node backhaul. Instead, the same 5 GHz band is shared between your devices and the mesh backhaul

i use these in my home. I originally tried to set these up as routers but they are horrible as routers. couldn't get it to work consistently, constantly rebooting them in app. after i switched them to bridge mode I haven't had a problem since. I am using an older router i had as the main router and the two of these i have are in bridge mode to extend the wifi.
