Linksys AX6000 MR9600 Mesh WiFi 6 Router Review (2020)

[@PatricksDIY]

When DFS is enabled, the Linksys MR9600 can expand the channel width from the traditional 20/40/80MHz to 160MHz.

[@CountlessPWNZ]

@Donald could have had both and used them in mesh

[@thuggy67]

DFS controls channel not hertz

[@franciscom431]

Its like a woodpecker is hammering my head.

[@takumarx]

Can I use two Linksys MR9600 routers, with one functioning as a regular router and the other as a mesh network extender?

[@idarci7202]

you rich rich

[@djentle1101]

Just picked one up for $50 brand new. Worth the upgrade over my Nighthawk R7000 or keep the Netgear?

[@avim1990]

Can I connect this router with the linksys velop mesh points?

[@bae896]

Thank you for the screen share @8:08 everyone was telling me it could only be accessed by app and I cannot handle that. Terrific review! I'm not going to pay the extra money for the 6E model. If I'm that close, I have ethernet cables to plug in, and phones won't support 6E for a bit

[@albinsant]

Hi, after setup with my existing modem , this item need wired from the modem on the place I put for work?

[@albinsant]

I'm confuse with this.

[@ro7_bladeyt117]

I know i'm a year late but when i decided to download the linksys app on my phone and set it up, My router started to blink purple and the phone keeps saying it did not find any like connection and i tried restarting and unplugging everything going over the steps for a solution but it wouldn't work still, Please tell me what the problem is and what can i do to fix it.

[@Niles-Guy]

Restart your modem and router

[@ductran9486]

I'm using this MR9600 as the main node and expanded wifi with 2 velop mx4200 velop.As Linksys advertised that the MR series router can mess with the velop.But in reality,it's not stable.The network drop frequently.And the velop doesn't have internet while the wifi signal is full.It's was like the node didn't receive date from the main MR9600.I have to unplug the MR9600 then plug in again to solve this.What a nuisance! Some say that you should mess the velop with velop nodes only.Do not use the MR series to mess with velop.

[@DealUnboxing]

Appreciate the Feedback. Sorry to hear your bad experience.

[@roymartinez3255]

Hi, maybe this is not the video but if you have to choose between the tplink deco x20 or the netgear mk62 which one would you buy? It is for a hause full concrete but not a extreme use, thank you so much

[@DealUnboxing]

I have reviewed Deco X90 please checkout that review on the channel. It will give you some idea. I have also reviewed Netgear so you can get better understanding.

[@Churchhill1700]

When i have a second linksys MR2600 router can i make with this a cordless wirless mesh ?

[@DealUnboxing]

It has been a while i have checked the Linksys Docs. I don't know if they still allow Mesh option

[@JShadow6661]

Okay I have the router now and it’s installed. But my modem which is from company(Spectrum) and still having speed issues. Any suggestions on how this can be fixed?7

[@williamovertoniii3593]

So will this equipment help increase my megabyte speeds on my Verizon z fold 3 phone while using my Hotspo

[@DealUnboxing]

Depends on your ISP Internet speed.

[@Luiscofield.]

Hi, I currently have a WRT1900AC router and I'm planing in upgrading. What would you recommend, EA9500 ir MR9600, not planning in buying mesh devices, I just want 1 router for all my house. Thanks

[@DealUnboxing]

Yes. (1) Router should be enough depends on the house sqft.

[@gbxx6692]

Why did Linksys limit bands and mothball the usb ports? Seems like a bad idea for a MSRP $400 router.. which recently is going fro btw $225 - $300.. Prices still need to come down and the features fixed.. Plus 10gigEthernet ports need to be on new ax routers soon!

How would this compare with the Asus rt-ac86u

[@DealUnboxing]

Asus rt-ac86u is older version and old AC standard as compare to Linksys is AX. You should checkout other reviews as well, before making final decision.

[@RELLIKPIR]

Appearantly it does support 160mhz something about DFS being 160mhz. Though I was checking the mr9610

[@DealUnboxing]

Probably the new Firmware fixed it. But when we review the product it was not.

[@stormoverload]

Should I upgrade from WRT3200ACM router?

[@DealUnboxing]

Yeah WiFi 6 is a way to go, or i would recommend wifi 6e.

[@ColateralClay]

[@plush6519]

I have a Linksys ax6000 router that u have, I need a modem that is a same as my Linksys router

[@plush6519]

Which modem I buy for my Linksys?

[@tigerbalm666]

Is this same as Linksys MR9610 ?

[@p7272]

Would have been nice to see a none Wifi 6 laptop and older Android phone. Since I have older phones and laptop I'll probably get the previous EA9500 router.

[@DealUnboxing]

Sure, i can add non WiFi 6 device in the reviews moving forward. Appreciate the Feedback. Please don't forget to Sub + Like + Share + Watch other reviews on the channel.

One biggest problem with this router. Does not come with 160mhz signal, which is very bad, when you’re using 5g or WiFi 6. Your speed won’t go up without 160mhz.

[@qtran101]

great review, did linksys reach out to you to contract you to help identify the issues their lame QA missed?

It is, but depends on the price. There are tons of options now.

[@derpnerpwerp]

I bought this router.. wish I'd have watched this first

[@DealUnboxing]

Are you have any issue?

[@derpnerpwerp]

@@DealUnboxing well, primarily I said this because I wasn't aware that there was no 160mhz.. but other than that, yes.. just not sure what's an existing problem with my network vs the router. A lot of times my phone stops loading content unless I disconnect from the wifi, let it load with 5g for a bit then switch the wifi back on. Also the router's UI is terrible. It's completely dumbed down with limited features and they make it seem like you need an account to set the thing up. I had been running openwrt on a linkysys wrt3200.. which I really liked, but I was having similar issues with content not loading. I decided to get a new router when I found a repeatable problem that happened consistently: the app Magic Arena for Android simply wouldn't download in-game assets over my wifi. That specific problem resolved with this router though, so that's good. With this router it's very difficult to do any debugging. I can't check bandwidth usage, I can't enable useful logging, etc. With openwrt I could do all of that and I could even SSH into the router and run tcpdump to monitor traffic with wireshark

[@dark3226]

@@derpnerpwerp don't know if this will help now, but I checked my power supplies and they were both not rated for the router due to buying it used. Idk if this will help but it did me wonders on both of my set ups
