I purchased the same pair of routers a few years ago for a whopping 1400$. The one connected to the cable modem provides an internet speed of around 940 Mbps. However, another one in my office provided around 400 Mbps. This led to very variable internet speeds around my house. These renewed routers fixed my mesh network by eliminating Wi-Fi dead zones and shortening distance for the 5 MHz band. The reading in my office is around 820 Mbps now. So, if you have a very big house, it is worse to invest an extra 50$ (the price is soooooooo small in comparison with the original one). If you have a small space and an internet plan with 100-1000 Mbps, it is worth buying these routers too.

This is my third set of Linksys Velop MX10600's that I've purchased. I get great coverage and I love how easy it is to monitor the network remotely. A nice, unexpected benefit for the networking geeks among us. I have my home wired for gig ethernet. The ethernet backhauls these WiFi mesh nodes. I had a switch in the home fail and, to my astonishment, the WiFi nodes connected via radio to the other nodes and kept everything running. Anyway, get some of these. You won't regret it.

Setup took less than five minutes. Worked great.

As AT&T expanded wireless in our Chicagoland area, wifi speeds and reliability got bad. Manage your airways and take control. Upgrade network and deploy an extra router. Easy to upgrade existing Linksys system. Speed and reliability are great.
