Review on 🏠 Enhance Your Home Network with the LINKSYS MR9600-RM2 Dual-Band Mesh Router (Renewed) by Joseph Pudic

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Firmware needs more work!

This firmware (updated on first boot) is not yet ready for main use and easily confuses and frequently hangs the router. It actually crashes on its own, hangs on boot, and requires a factory reset to boot successfully again. After this happened the SECOND time I decided to return the wasted time router. IMHO Linksys should stay with Marvell and never go back to Belkin whose products have been crap lately. Belkin used to be my first choice for routers, switches, hubs etc. Then I bought 4 Wemos and they all died within 8 months on top of being almost impossible to set up. Now I use Kasa sockets from TP-Link. and all 15 have been rock solid (most of them) for over 2 years and the rest for over 8 months. As for the WiFi 6 router, I'm just waiting for Linksys to fix the bugs, and WiFi 6E routers are under $200 and reliable.

Pros
  • Dynamically increases Wi-Fi speed and eliminates dead spots in your home
Cons
  • Vulgarity
