Linksys MX8000 Mesh WiFi Router (2-Pack) (Open Box)

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.
