Best Wifi 6 Mesh router with a great price!
By Luay Y. on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021
My smart 1400sqft multi-story Townhome suffered for a very long time with Wi-Fi issues and couldn't reach the rooftop! Winner is ((( Linksys AX4000 Smart Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router Whole Home WiFi Mesh System, Tri-Band AX Wireless Mesh Router MX8000 ))) I have 43 connected devices including products from Apple, HP, August, Hue, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Samsung, LG, Google Home, and Lutron. They all work great together! Covers my entire house. Zero network issues. Guest network is flawless. Amazing Mobile app, easy to use and very fast. My HomePods by Apple, which I use daily no longer suffer from latency and connection issues streaming music I get all my internet speed at 5Ghz close by and about 300Mbps on 5Ghz within 35 feet, rooftop gets 2Ghz at 60Mbps which isn't as fast as the Asus where I was getting 300Mbps on 5Ghz but I like that it's a lot more stable. Door lock is snappy fast just the way I like it! Believe me this is the best Wifi 6 mesh you will get at this point in time if you have this many devices like myself. I tried: # ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System (XT8 2PK) Pros: Lightning fast (Fastest I have tried so far) Reasonable price. Cons: Guest Wifi DOESN'T work. Worst Mobile App I have tried. Disconnects with my devices A LOT. Very bad with Apple Homepods, music stops out of a sudden. Old look. Wifi name adds an extra character automatically and can't change that except on web. # Amazon eero Pro 6 tri-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 router with built-in Zigbee smart home hub Pros: iPhone app looks great and very fast setup Cons: The slowest Mesh system I have tried to date Only ONE ethernet port Just don't get it. # NETGEAR Orbi WiFi 6 Router with DOCSIS 3.1 Built-in Cable Modem (CBR750) Pros: Speed is consistent but doesn't go over 550Mbps on 5Ghz for Wifi Two in one Modem and Router Nice Mobile app Cons: Setup is pain and using the App is very annoying Devices disconnect all the time Issues with August Issues with Apple Products and Homepods Device is too big - TP-Link AX6000 WiFi 6 Router(Archer AX6000) - NETGEAR Nighthawk 8-Stream Tri-band AX8 WiFi 6 Router (RAX70) - ASUS AX6100 WiFi 6 Gaming Router (RT-AX92U) Pros: TP-Link is the best here and consistent with speed, others are fine too but noticed some issues Cons: They never reach far distances with single point and issues with over 20+ devices I hope this review helps out. I only wrote it because I spent 5 months trying to find the best network for my house! :)

I bought it about six months ago. I have a NAS and needed to move it far from the Ethernet connection, so I decided to get a mesh system. A friend recommended Linksys as a brand, although he used a different model. At first, everything was fine — good internet speed and solid local network performance for the NAS. But then I started noticing internet lag. I thought it was my provider’s fault, so I switched to a different one. Again, it worked well at first, but then I began experiencing issues where certain websites or apps (like Instagram or Google Maps) wouldn't load. After some time, I realized the problem occurred during the initial load — sometimes it would take 30 seconds to a full minute to load a page or app content. It’s incredibly frustrating. I even found a subreddit discussing this exact issue with this model. The common suggestion was to disable IPv6, but that didn’t fix the problem for me. Another issue is that after the router runs for a couple of days, Wi-Fi speeds can drop significantly — from around 800 Mbps down to 100 Mbps. This is clearly a router issue. Restarting it helps, but there’s no option in the software to schedule automatic reboots, so I have to manually unplug and plug it back in. I do not recommend this product. Consider looking for a newer or more reliable model instead.
