Linksys Hydra Pro Mesh WiFi 6E Router MR7500 Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Router AXE 6600 For Wireless Internet For The Home, Work, And Guest House - Connect 55+ Devices, 2,700 Sq Ft

This router is such a power house , very functional the Linksys name says it all. It can be expanded with nodes for greater coverage and you can add a USB device to it for remote accessing data stored on it. Its a bit tricky to set up at first but maybe it was just me the app was good but I prefer the old school way of using 192.168 thats just me . It was well worth the investment and upgrade . Absolutely would buy again.

Good router with ok WiFi range. Just be aware, if you need to use a WiFi extender it is not compatible with all extenders. Although some other companies extenders might connect with it, the mesh systems which allows automatic transitioning between the router and the extender may not be compatible. Ran into this problem when trying to use it with a TP extender. Both support a mesh system but the mesh systems are not compatible with each other. Nor is the Linksys Velop plug in extender compatible with this Linksys router.

We upgraded our home Internet plan to a 2.5 Gig plan from 1 Gig. Too many phones, laptops and TVs all going at once for the 1 Gig plan we were on. I upgraded our Modem and needed to upgrade our Router as well. I tried several Routers but simply was not satisfied with their performance. I decided to give the Linksys Hydra Pro a go. It has worked flawlessly from the get-go. We have a 6,200 sq. ft. house and literally every room gets Wi-Fi without any issues. Even though it's rated for 2,500 sq. ft ... the reach, at least in our environment, is far more than that. I'm not using any extenders or additional modules in the house. Every TV for example (which is on either Apple TV or Amazon Firestick 4K Pro) gets exceptional picture and audio without any buffering or broken audio. We have no cable boxes in the house ... all TVs are on Xfinity Stream.The only thing I can say is that the only firmware update we have gotten since installation was out of the box during the initial installation, I believe, it was done in January or February. I don't think Linksys is big on updates. That said, the main point is that the Router itself works exactly as stated and has worked without any issues whatsoever. From my perspective, and even though it may be a little outdated at this point, it is a great Router and I will keep it on-line for as long as I can.

Bought this to replace a TP link ac2300. The Linksys seems to be working well and my devices seem to be connecting faster than with the TPlink. I wish the Linksys interface was more descriptive and intuitive. The app works well, just isn't very intuitive. Still haven't figured out if I can shut off the networks which I am not using. But I wanted a router than wasn't affiliated with China, as the TP link is. I know the Linksys isn't made in the US, but I don't think there are any wifi routers that are anymore.Bottom line: so far so good, stable and good signal strength.

I had a Linksys Velop wifi 5 mesh, running it in bridge mode to provide a large area with wifi coverage. The network was using an Asus router with it's wifi turned off as the only router, with the Velop mesh for all the access points. That worked well, except in bridge mode, the guest network actually wasn't separated from the primary network, so guest users could access devices on the primary network if they knew how to do that. And I got a new phone that supports WiFi 6. So I bought this router and successfully replaced my old router. The configuration went pretty smoothly.I had to do a factory reset on all the Velop nodes, essentially destroying the existing Velop wifi 5 mesh. Then connected the new router to the cable modem, and did the router setup using the Linksys app on my phone, to create the new main node for the new mesh. Then used the Linksys app to add the unconfigured nodes to the new mesh, one at a time. BTW if you are using hardwired backhauls (connecting the Velop nodes to the router using Ethernet cables) you need to not connect the cables when configuring the node - it has to be added to the mesh via wifi. Connect the cable after the node is in place, and then power cycle the node to get it to use the hardwired backhaul.The end result is a fast wifi 6 central router combined with a wifi 5 mesh for reaching out to a large area. The phone seamlessly switches from 6 to 5 when walking around, it does exactly what I had hoped for. Now that I'm not running bridge mode, the guest network is actually secure. The router does support a USB disk drive, which basically just worked when i plugged it in. Very happy.What I would like to see added would be more advanced control of the router. There is a local router control panel, which you get to via a web browser at the router's IP address. This provides some amount of configuration, but not as much as I would like. Asus provides much more in this area.I intend on replacing the Velop 5 nodes with Velop 6 nodes at some point, which will be an easy task. Overall an excellent product with an excellent outcome, and didn't need Linksys tech support to get it done.
