Title: Good Router with good Features!
Review: I recently upgraded to the Linksys WiFi Mesh 6E Tri-Band Router, replacing my 11-year-old router, and the difference has been incredible. With my old setup, I was only getting around 100mbps on wireless devices near the router. Now, with the Linksys, my internet speed has skyrocketed to over 600mbps throughout my home. Even though the router is placed in the middle of the room at a height, it delivers excellent coverage to every room, doubling the speed I previously got with my Asus router.The installation process was simple, thanks to the user-friendly app, which also allows me to monitor all devices connected to the network. The router automatically selects the best channel based on the device, such as assigning 2.4GHz to my printer. It also has solid parental controls, guest network management, and upgraded security features. While itâs great on its own, adding nodes would make it even better for gaming and other heavy-use activities. Overall, it's a fantastic upgrade for both speed and coverage!

Title: Solid Router but not a good choice for apartments with concrete walls.
Review: Before you read the review below, I wanted to briefly detail my small internet/network setup struggles. We moved into a new apartment which has solid concrete walls. It is a 1600 sq ft home with two levels. The modem connection is up stairs in the living room. Our two bedrooms are on the lower level.My main issue has been trying to get a strong and decent signal on the lower level. I tried multiple set ups (large router, mesh router, wifi extenders/repeater, and powerline), but I ultimately ran a wire from the upper level to lower. The main reason for running a wire was that I was only getting a fraction (at the most 200-300Mbps on the download) of my 1gb speed on the lower level.My current setup (update):1. TP-Link Wifi 6 AX6000 (main router on upper level).2. TP-Link Wifi 6 AX6000 (lower level router as access point. Cat7 wire from main router). My second AC4000 5G signals became very unstable. I did not have this issue with my first AC4000. I could not get a AC4000 replacement so I upgraded the lower level router to an AX6000.3. I am still getting download speeds in the 900-950Mbps wired, 500-600Mbps 5G, 40-60 2G.The devices I tried include:1. Linksys Tri-Band Mesh Wifi Router for Home (Max-Stream AC2200 MU-Mimo Wireless Mesh Router, Fast Wireless Router)2. NETGEAR Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System - WiFi router and single satellite extender with speeds up to 3Gbps over 5,000 sq. feet, AC3. TP-Link AC4000 Smart WiFi Router - Tri Band Router, MU-MIMO, VPN Server, Advanced Security by Homecare, 1.8GHz CPU, Gigabit, Beamforming, Link Aggrega4. TP-Link WiFi 6 AX6000 8-Stream Smart WiFi Router - Next-Gen 802.11ax, 2.5G WAN Port, 8 Gigabit LAN Ports, MU-MIMO, 1.8GHz Quad-Core CPU, USB 3.0 Ports5. ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 AX11000 Tri-Band 10 Gigabit WiFi Router, Aiprotection Lifetime Security by Trend Micro, Aimesh Compatible for Mesh WIFI System, Next-Gen Wifi 6, Wireless 802.11Ax, 8 X Giga (Purchased at Best Buy)6. TP-Link Powerline Adapter AV2000 Mbps - Gigabit Port, Ethernet Over Power, Plug&Play, Power Saving, MU-MIMO, Noise Filtering(TL-PA9020P KIT)7. WiFi Range Extender - 1200Mbps WiFi Repeater Wireless Signal Booster, 2.4 & 5GHz Dual Band WiFi Extender with Gigabit Ethernet Port, Simple SetupLinksys Tri-Band Mesh Wifi Router for Home (in a two story apartment with solid concrete walls)SetupThe setup was very quick and simple. It took no more than 15 minutes. I decided to broadcast the Wifi signals separately, so I can dictate myself what device connects to which Wifi band. However, the Linksys Smart Wifi does work very well.There were no issues accessing the router from the app or the webpage. More detail settings and configuration are achieved from the webpage access. One thing to note that with this router, you need a node to access the second 5G band.Range and SpeedI have Xfinity 1gb internet connect. The router was placed on the upper level. The wired speed from the modem averaged low 900s Mbps. On the same level the Wifi range and strength was phenomenal. I got strong 2G and 5G signals anywhere on the upper level. Max download speed on my iphone XR Max and laptop was 600Mbps for 5G and 20-30Mbps on 2G. I had no issues with random disconnects or slow downs. However, on the lower, the signal strength was very poor. For the 5G band I was getting on more than 10Mbps, even when I was located under the router. The 2G signal faired a little better at 20-30Mbps.I also used this router with a powerline and it work great. I used powerline and moved this router to the lower level. Modem to powerline (upper level), then powerline (lower level) to router. Through the powerline, my speed 200Mbps (wired). After connecting the powerline to the router, my wired speed was 170-180Mbps, 5G 120-130Mbps, and 2G 20-30Mbps. However, moving the router to the lower level meant I was sacrificing the Wifi signal on the upper level.Why did I return it-Need to have a node to access the second 5G band.-Wifi could not penetrate to the lower level. However, this is more of an issue with the concrete walls.Would I recommend this router?I would definitely recommend this router based on the following:-Reasonably priced.-Simple and quick setup.-Consistent range and speed (if you have a single level home without concrete walls).

Title: Works well.
Review: I have an older non-mesh model of this router and it has been a great workhorse for years in my home. I had a second other brand access point at the back of my house for some yard wifi security cameras. I needed to install a wireless security camera quite a ways from the house which just could not reach the other brand access point. I replaced the other brand with this Linksys and have not had a dropped connection or seen any throughput problems with any of the cameras. I would recommend this model as a primary wifi router for a home install.

Title: Easy install.
Review: I knew something was up with the router I ordered the first time when it came with 14 pages in a small booklet instructions to install. This router came with one small piece of paper with three things to do it was so easy.

Title: Poor range
Review: No matter how high it mounted, or the location of the router, the range distance is one room. So far, the signal did not drop and consistent. The speed is slightly faster. 50 Mbps download speed increased when compared to my wifi5 router. The router design has great ventilation. I had to add 4 velop to compensate the poor range. The velop work well with the router.

Review: I was impressed that it was delivered to my suburb home in less than 24 hours.The installation is super easy with the Linksys app. I love the app interface and features.So for I haven't any issue with the wifi strength but I didn't expect any since the size of my house and the number of devices on my network are much lower than recommended for this rather expensive router.

Review: With my limited experience with other routers, I would say the Linksys is one of the best, especially the MR9000 signal strength and the range is extraordinary. The setup is effortless by just using the mobile app. The parental controls and Device Prioritization is excellent + the device can be managed online. Altogether it is a good package..!!!
