    Review Linksys MX8500 Atlas Max 6E Wi-Fi Mesh System Reviewed

    I got it. I was able to check the sysinfo.cgi and it’s wired full 1GB speed. I was in error though how I had it hooked up initially.

    I followed this from Linksys here https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=217442 https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article/?articleNum=243552 11. Can I add a switch to my Velop network? Yes. You can use an available ethernet port on any of your nodes to connect your switch...

    Review Linksys MX8500 Atlas Max 6E Wi-Fi Mesh System Reviewed

    Please bare with me I need to make sure I set this up right. modem-Parent node-Switch-Child node Is that correct? I have one of the switch ports connected to the internet port with child node. Or does it need to be a lan port instead same child node?

    Review Linksys MX8500 Atlas Max 6E Wi-Fi Mesh System Reviewed

    I went ahead and made the move. What a bone head decision as I should have done it in the first place. Guess I for got because I did not want to run 2 25ft cables from my room to living room. It still worked out though.

    Review Linksys MX8500 Atlas Max 6E Wi-Fi Mesh System Reviewed

    Might be a stupid question. Should I have put the newer MX8501 in the living room instead of my bedroom? Does it even matter?

    Review Linksys MX8500 Atlas Max 6E Wi-Fi Mesh System Reviewed

    I went with the Linksys setup. I didn’t even open up the Asus and returning it. Setup was simple and great. I have the MX8501 in my bedroom and the MX5300 in the living room. I ended up going wired for the child node. I am more then pleased. WiFi is much improved! Zero regrets going with this...

    Review Linksys MX8500 Atlas Max 6E Wi-Fi Mesh System Reviewed

    That is exactly what I am looking for. More features/settings to take advantage of the hardware performance. I feel with Linksys while the hardware is there. It’s hampered by lackluster firmware that does not take advantage of the hardware. At the same time. I was willing to sacrifice some of...

    Review Linksys MX8500 Atlas Max 6E Wi-Fi Mesh System Reviewed

    In a situation here. I currently have a Linksys MX5300 single unit. I ordered the Asus AXE11000 BUT, I am wondering if I should order this new Linksys MX8501 instead? I could use the MX5300 as a wired/wireless (undecided) child node. Would that be the better bang for the buck/performance? Or...

    Linksys EA9500 to Asus GT-AX11000?

    I got my MX5300 yesterday from Amazon earlier then expected. It lives up to the hype and excellent reviews. I am very pleased with it and definitely an improvement over my previous router EA9500 V1.

    Which router brand update their firmware the most ?

    Asus and Netgear. Linksys the worst for not updating firmware. But, to be fair. Simplicity is very high and lacks a lot of features.

    Linksys EA9500 to Asus GT-AX11000?

    Should be interesting. The specs are beefy. Even a faster cpu then the Asus AX11000.

    Linksys EA9500 to Asus GT-AX11000?

    I went ahead with the Linksys Velop MX5300 single unit. I won’t have it until Dec 1st since it’s on backorder @Amazon. They had the best pricing at $299. Everyone else wants $399 for the single unit. Great hardware specs, love the look and has a 3 year warranty like my EA9500 had.

    Linksys EA9500 to Asus GT-AX11000?

    I see Linksys has a new wifi6 Velop out.

    Linksys EA9500 to Asus GT-AX11000?

    Thinking about a new router. Why? 1. Linksys lack of firmware updates for bug fixing and security updates. Last update was in 2017 as I have a V1 unit. 2. Router is 3 years old as of this month. 3. Big time gamers in the house. I believe the new router we would benefit. Getting open nat when...
