Hi,

Over the years I have cycled through from a N66U to the AC5300 which has serving well in a heavily congested block of flats. Nothing fancy running, just SmartConnect and auto QoS.

2 floor maisonette - N66U struggled with throughput due to wireless channel congestion but AC5300 has been good since. Approx 90sq m

We are changing ISP providers and the new provider will be supplying 2 x Linksys Velop AC Tri-Band Mesh WiFi System, with a “throughput of up to 2.2Gbps”.

It seems this is the product:

Question is a simple one, though I feel the answer will not be.

Q: Can we utilise these extra nodes to serve alongside the 5300 router?

General info which may be if use.
  • FTTH/FTTP - Gigabit down/up
  • Modem (unknown) will be provided, assuming one outbound Ethernet port only - afaik this cannot be split into a switch??
  • AC5300 router purchased few years ago.
  • Linksys Velop Tri-band nodes x 2
