Linksys AC6600 Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System

Had purchased the AC 1300 set previously and with all things, heat over long durations effects the life of your electronics.Decided to go bigger with Sq Ft greatly increased with the AC6600 system, these things are great for full bars strength throughout the 3000sq ft of living space in my house. (Didn't need to use tech support) ***Great Product***If you have trouble use tech support, or have somebody that's PC/Smartphone savvy do the set-up for you.I bought 3 units this time I'm using 2 new units and my previous 2. The E cable is hooked to the new black (AC6600) unit on the mainfloor, another new unit in the master bedroom upstairs. 1 white (AC1300) unit in Laundry/Mud Room (which gives us full bars on patio). The last white unit is in the garage (takes care of pool area too). Love these things.....BUY THEM........(have 1 saved for a Spare)

Able to connect easily and they seem to work in conjunction with each other as indicated. the app installed takes some time to load every time you want to review devices connected to the network. Could be nice if safety features come with the product, looks like we have to by them additionally

The system sets up easy peasy. It works incredibly. Far reaching over my expectations. Not speed and area are big. Streaming TVs, multiple users and streaming devices. Zero dead spots.

Despite each node having two ports on the bottom, neither can be used to attach wired devices. You can plug the ISP device into one, the others allegedly can be used for wired backhaul but I didn't try this. What I did do was try to plug my switch into it (with the idea of letting it supply DHCP addresses to those devices) that doesn't work, or at least it didn't on the two nodes I tried. This means you need an extra device to act as a router if you have wired devices, which these will work with in bridge mode. Bridge mode works fine, but disables much the built in capability. Needing a separate router pretty much doubles the cost and space required as well.The setup and configuration software is horrible. It's a wizard format that probably works well on the happy path. Personally I had to go through it multiple times, with multiple 10+ minute waits while it failed to do whatever it was attempting. Freezes were common. It has internet dependencies, despite being used to setup your internet connection. So make sure if you buy this that you have a device with its own internet connection that can be used simultaneously with a non-functional wireless connection. (any cell phone with a good data connection ought to do, but if you planned to use say an iPad you will be out of luck.) There was no technical need for this dependency, but it does enable them to force you to click through the disclaimers and create a linksys account. I assume that's a good enough reason for someone in marketing.

Get rid of your extenders and purchase these towers. Customer service is tops and they will walk you through any problem you might have. The main one is in the basement as it is used for the router. The next one is on my outside back porch. And the third one is in my shop 50ft. away. I'm very happy with this system.

The concept is good, the design idea is good however there's something inherently wrong with these units. I've been using the system now for 8 months and what I'll say is if you're using it for gaming or streaming do not purchase these. The Wifi will drop with no warning and return when it feels like it. There are no updates, no support or reason for these drops but it happens. I want to honestly return them however my window of return has closed. I'll be looking for something more reliable soon.

i replaced linsys Velop ac3900 with this one to get better coverage and i found the following:1. the previous router dose not work with the new one in the mesh system. i thought i can have them as extra nodes to get more coverage but i just cant add them using the app.2. i got bad signal in the living room 4 meters from the node and i found that even though the led was blue and the app shows everything is ok the node is not working properly and i had to do hard reset to get it back working.3. regarding network drops - after talking to the support they asked me if i use the latest firmware and surprisingly even though the app shows everything is up to date and the auto update is turned on, i went to linksys website and found that this is not latest version so i upgraded it manually and after the upgrade was completed i saw only one node was upgraded and i had to go each one separately and in the address url of each node add /fwUpgrade to get to a page which allow me to upgrade it (no ui no access though the app and no documentation) i found it in one of the forums.

Easy to install excellent wifi coverage tech support at linksys Tori was awesome made setup a breeze.Thank you.
