Overview
Streaming to a VR headset or gaming with low lag on the newest phones and laptops is where this Linksys router shines, adding an extra uncrowded radio band. It works alone or as the base of a Linksys mesh with added nodes.
The extra band gives compatible devices a quiet lane free of neighbor interference, and mesh expansion covers outbuildings. Older devices fall back to the standard bands, and the gigabit LAN ports cap wired speed.
Who it's for
Families with many current phones, laptops and headsets who want low latency and room to add mesh nodes. Homes with mostly older gadgets gain little from the newest band.
Pros and cons
- Extra uncrowded radio band
- Tri-band for many devices
- Quad core processor
- USB port for storage
- Extra band needs compatible devices
- Gigabit LAN ports only
- Port count conflicts in listing
Performance notes
The extra band offers wide clean channels, but only nearby devices that support it can connect, and its signal fades faster through walls. The mesh system can use that band for backhaul between nodes. Wired speeds are capped by the gigabit LAN ports.
