Great mobile app!
I’ve owned 2 of these nodes for a couple years now and am very happy with the network mesh!
Combined with AT&T gigabit internet, I’m very happy with the results. As a developer I was working from home 8-10 hours a day, and I have yet to have a single issue with the either node. Just set up auto updates and forget it, I highly recommend if it’s in your budget :)

Most expensive isn't best......
When you aren't a WiFi expert and you buy the "expensive" product thinking it will be best - probably not the best of ideas. I built a new average size ranch home and thought this would be perfect, but not so much. So hard to set up, the range through one wall is horrible. I am glad I had cat cables run to every room, give grace for buying this set up. My Spectrum router worked all through the house just fine I guess - now I know.

Mazing Access points
Usually I don't write reviews, but while reading other reviews I decided I should leave one. we purchased 8 of these nodes and setup 3 separate networks. these nodes are used for sonos deployments as well as over 20 users. These access points worked amazing, it was easy to setup and the coverage is great, the speed of child nodes works perfectly even with multiple users accessing stream simultaneously. We also did post survey using Ekahua survey tools and the speed and throughput capabilities exceeded our expectations.

Linksys Atlas Max 6E
Do not purchase the Altlas Max 6E. It is a useless product.
I was a loyal Linksys customer for several years purchasing prior Wi-Fi Routers and their Velop/Mesh systems. The Mesh system constantly drops and moving between your home will NOT be seemless, constantly shifting from Wi-Fi to broadband.
I requested a refund and Linksys refused, after being a loyal customer for several years.
DO NOT PURCHASE THE ATLAS MAX 6E.

worthless e-waste
extremely slow. takes about 10 minutes to boot, and this is a huge issue because its so unstable, you will be rebooting it a ton. sometimes 192.168.0.1 will straight up not load. linksys phone support only knows how to factory reset, anything else they will just say I don't know, but we won't replace your router. I'd rather rub sand in my eyes than buy a linksys product again.

Unable to handover connection between nodes
Incredibly frustrating product and unhelpful tech support. While the wifi is incredibly fast when working, I have to regularly power cycle the node in my office in order for my Apple devices to work.
There's a bug where Apple devices are unable to move between nodes and thus defeats the purpose of a mesh network. The resolution is to turn on/off the node in order to obtain a new IP address on the iPhone- have to do this at least once a day. I've had mesh networks in the past and have never encountered this issue before. So frustrating for the price! Don't buy until they (finally) release new firmware to fix this.

Powerful Stuff
I'm extremely satisfied with this product! I used this replace an older router. It’s a Tri band (2.4/5/5GHz) wifi 6 router with 3 LAN ports and a USB 3.0 port which supports SMB file sharing so I was already pleased with that. Thats enough to dwarf my 200Mbps connection over wifi in my entire home. The Linksys app is also clutch too. I highly recommend this router for anyone looking to get into wifi 6 or even to start a mesh network. Thank me later.

when will the Atlas Max 6e come back in stock? do you have end of sale date? and what will be replacing it?
Hello, FadyK. We currently do not have an estimated time of availability. Therefore, we recommend that you regularly check our website for any forthcoming updates.

Can an MR7500 Router be the parent to these?
I suppose it can be but I do not know why you would want it to be. The range, wifi6e are better. The 7500 can be used as a node though.

Can a MR7500 Router be the parent to MX8503?
Yes, rmclipper. These two routers are compatible with each other.

does this have a dedicated IOT network
It has the ability to set up a second “guest” network with a separate password, but it shares the same uplink, obviously.
Date published: 2023-06-08
I have an ax4420 system. If I make MX8501 the parent, will my system quit working with Apple Homekit?
It should continue to work; however, any device connected to the AX4420 will only have a throughput commensurate to that device.

Do these support 802.11 k/r/v?
Do not buy this! It does not support gigabit speed if you have fiber.
Date published: 2023-05-23
I’m getting a set of three Atlas Max 6e units. I have three older Velop units. I have 140+ devices. Are there any problems with mixing the six units as long as the 6e is the parent?
I think this may only work with wired backhaul. Wireless backhaul is hit or miss even without mixing products.
Date published: 2023-04-27
Does this have a repeater mode?
It does not have a repeater mode.
It has an access point mode and a router mode.
So if you want to use your own router, you would put it into AP mode.
I do not think it can repeat a signal.
