Linksys MX8000 Mesh WiFi 6 Router – AX4000

I have a rammed earth house, my walls are 2ft thick. Because of this the signal couldn’t make it outside but I needed internet in my workshop which is over 90ft from my house, I didn’t want to dig a trench and hard line in an ethernet cable. So I bought this 2 pack. Put one in my garage where the signal was present but weak and put the other in my shop. I now have extremely fast speeds out there and in my garage now too. So far I am very happy with the product, had it for a month or so now and had no problems.
Setup was easy with the app, hardest part was running a line into my garage for the mother node to hook up to the starlink router.

I purchased this Mesh Wi-Fi Router on Prime Day, replacing a six-year-old system. The system setup was somewhat simple, although, it’s yet another app that requires you to register and open yourself up to spam emails. In the first week, my devices had trouble connecting to the internet. I had to restart the router four times, I discovered that I had left one of my last mesh devices plugged in, my mistake. Things worked well for a while, and then one Saturday morning, a red light on the router. Of course, you have to open the app to get the key to understand solid vs. blinking lights. It can’t connect to the internet to connect to your router, so you have to log into the router locally. After five minutes of struggling through that, I see that a solid red light means no internet. The modem is fine, all good, reboot the router, still no internet. Reboot the modem, no internet on the Linksys.

I connected directly to my modem, connected to the internet fine. The router just would not get a connection to the internet. I returned to my old mesh network (it’s too late to return to Amazon.)

This was a huge mistake. I cannot get this device to work. Since I can’t return it, I’ll be forced to struggle through the Linksys support channel and maybe there’ll be a fix, but it’s going to waste a lot of time.

Stay away from this device.

El router efectivamente proporciona una alta velocidad de transmisión, todo depande de la capacidad del Modem de entrada. En mi caso el Linksys AX4200 proporciona 700 Mbps si estas cerca de él, conforme te alejas la velocidad va bajando, por ejemplo, a 5 metros del router, sin ningún obstáculo, la velocidad baja a 450 Mbps. La otra situación es el tipo de paredes que tengas el tu casa o departamento; si son de tablaroca es muy probable que el alcance sea mayor, en mi caso las paredes son de ladrillo y simplemente por atravesar una pared la velocidad se reduce a 250 Mbps y si son 2 o más paredes prácticamente no llega señal y hay que poner routers adicionales para extender la cobertura.
Creo que este es un problema común a todos los routers y el sistema Velox de Linksys, tomando en cuenta lo anterior, es de lo mejor que he tenido

Picked up the two pack thinking I could easily find another child node easily. I have had trouble even figuring out what the right matching model number would be. I am surviving with two but a third would be nice. This purchase was to replace a Linksys AC router that was aging and to cover a few dead spots in the house.

It was easy to setup. I did have an issue getting it setup because I had initially connected both Ethernet cables from my NAS. After realizing I needed to do this afterwards, setup was a breeze.

It takes a little time getting used to a mesh when you are used to a single router. It just acts different. But it works just fine. I have a 3200 sq ft L shaped two story house and coverage is good. Back haul is still wi-fi.

The app has always needed work and has always needed more features with regards to granular router settings. I’ve used Linksys for a couple decades and haven’t seen a real improvement in all that time.

Uploading large files to my NAS is very fast. I am a heavy streamer and have had no buffering that I could blame the mesh for. I have seen random disconnects from some Motorola mobile devices but that could be the phones themselves.

I would recommend to a friend and already have.
