The Linksys Velop Micro 6 Mesh System, officially available today, is an exceptional Wi-Fi solution that is both humdrum and exciting. Humdrum because it features the four-year-old Wi-Fi 6 standard. In case you’ve been busy, I’ve reviewed over a dozen and counting Wi-Fi 7 solutions since mid-2023, not to mention …
Linksys’s first Wi-Fi 7 hardware, the Velop Pro 7 BE11000, sure is sexy. It comes in a legit “designer” look. I’ll be generous and call it gorgeous. The new hardware has enough to easily pass that “wife acceptance” requirement, often out-of-reach for nerds and geeks. (You know who you are!) …
Linksys today announced the availability of its Cloud Managed AX3600 Wi-Fi 6 Indoor Wireless Access Point (AP), model LAPAX3600C. And just like the new Hydra Pro 6 it unveiled yesterday, the new access point seems a bit mundane for the timing—it’s just another PoE indoor access point, with barely enough …
Sometimes the latest is not synonymous with the greatest. Case in point: the Hydra Pro 6 router Linksys unveiled today. Despite the “Pro” notion, the new router is a bit subdued, to put it mildly. Linksys Hydra Pro 6: Just another Wi-Fi 6 router Indeed, this is a dual-band Wi-Fi …
If you followed my reviews on the latest Linksys and NETGEAR routers, you’d note how I lamented the fact, among other things, that the vendors insisted on the mobile app for the setup process, instead of the web interface. There’s been a trend in home networking where the vendor forces …
You would definitely love to be blown away by this first-of-its-kind Linksys Atlas Max 6E (AXE8400) mesh Wi-Fi system, which includes three Linksys MX8500 routers. Who wouldn’t, after having paid over $1000 for it? I paid nothing—Linksys shipped me a review loaner set—and still wished it were great! But the “it’s …
The Linksys MR7500 AXE6600 Hydra Pro 6E Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi Router—available for purchase today, together with the Atlas Pro 6E mesh system—has a cool name. And that’s about its only novelty. Sure, it’s the third Wi-Fi 6E broadcaster on the market, joining the ranks of the ASUS GT-AXE11000 and the …
Linksys E8450 Dual-Band AX3200 Wi-Fi 6 Router is a breath of fresh air. This new Wi-Fi 6 router harkens back to when Linksys was one of my favorite home networking vendors, thanks to its traditional local web interface. Indeed, it’s the first in a long time that’s no longer part …
There will soon be a lot o Wi-Fi 6E options. Following Asus, Netgear, and TP-Link, Belkin unveiled over last week at CES 2021 the first mesh router of its own using this latest Wi-Fi standard, the Linksys AXE8400. Update: The full review of the Linksys AXE8400 is now available. Similar …
This Linksys Velop MX4200 vs. TP-Link Deco X5700 matchup is basically about Linksys vs. TP-Link as two home networking brands.
