I live in a mobile home which acts like a faraday cage for wifi, this mesh system fixed all my issues and the setup was quick and painless and quality is amazing and looks amazing as well, the coverage is excellent and i am now able to go outside with my devices with no issues and the speed is always good.

I was in need of a new router and wanted to go with a "Mesh" system to provide better coverage in my two-story house. I searched on Amazon and came up with a Linksys Mesh system that got good reviews. I purchased it because the price was in my ballpark $150 range. I received the Mesh unit the next day and began the installation process per their directions.The first indication of an issue was the app they wanted me to download was no longer available. I proceeded with installation nonetheless and met my second concern - the units could not detect my internet connection.I contacted Linksys Tech Support and provided them with the serial number of my unit. The representative notified me that the unit was 7 years old and no longer supported. I said I just bought it and it was wrapped and sold as new. So beware, some sellers are selling old products even though they're "new" - as in never used.I then did further research specifically looking at the date indicated in the specifications section of the listing. I was happy to see this product was released in March of this year. I bought it even though it was $100 more than I wanted to spend. The product came the next day and again was wrapped nicely by Linksys. This time the instructions were very simple. Simply plug in the unit per their instructions and the Mesh system essentially found itself and connected to the internet connection. Since the installation a couple of weeks ago the system has performed very well in both the upstairs and downstairs of my house. The mesh system has extended my previous coverage, allowing for a better internet connection in my garage and front yard. Though I wish it was priced a little less, it is providing me the coverage and reliability that I was after. I also installed the app for better management. I haven't used the app too much yet, but it looks like it will be very helpful if I need to get more control of the network and its access to guests,

This is awesome. Was very easy to set up and the coverage is amazing. I kept running into issues with dead zone. Not anymore. This system is fantastic. You set up the main router, and then the nods you can place anywhere there is a power outlet. It has allowed me to have complete WIFI coverage in my house, and yard. No more slow speeds, or disconnects. Very happy so far!

The nice thing about this system is that it is compact and neat. If it did what it was supposed to do for the price, it would be amazing. However, after a month of trying to set it up and hours and hours of phone calls to their support in which I really struggled to understand what the girls were saying because they spoke so fast and had such strong accents, I finally gave up. By that time I was over the return window so I was willing to trash it rather than continue. I am not a computer tech person, but I have been working with computers since 1993 every day of my life and generally setting up routers has never been an issue for me, especially when I lived in Africa and had to replace one almost every month struck by lightning. So this was a big disappointment for me because I liked the design and size, but the software is a nightmare. If you are a computer tech person you may get it to work for you.

disclaimer; this review may be subject to change as it has only been a couple days of usage.Pros: Simple UI. Easy to setup. 2024 router model is LN1100 v2 (version 2) and does indeed have pairing button that is not shown in the images here. Does not "require" app. All 3 devices have the SSID and password labeled on the bottom. Custom SSID/password is the first item to fill in the setup wizard. Client at farthest node seems just as fast as at router. Does have DMZ. Does have port-forwarding.Cons: Not for tech-enthusiasts. no SSH. no custom firewall IPv4 entries. Only 2 dynamic DNS providers (Dyn, No-IP). Custom DNS seemed to require mobile device App before i saw the fields in the DHCP service Web UI. WebUI alludes that router-apps (plugins) exist for installation but none cane be found on website. Third party software such as OpenWRT and Tomato do not list this as a compatible hardware. Setting a new password requires specific format including dis-allowance of repeated characters (e.g. 547ruggedLunatic would not be allowed due to 2 g's). Maybe no VPN not checked yet, but do not remember seeing it in UI.Additional: The UI on this router is the same as the MX5300 demo UI on their website, but without external storage tab. WebUI is "Linksys Smart Wifi" by Belkin, not LuCI UI, not openWRT UI. MAC address is Belkin.
