Linksys MX5300 Velop Whole Home Intelligent Mesh WiFi 6 (AX) System Review

Others/Networking Gear by stefan @ 2020-04-14

With the MX5300, Linksys is introducing a new mesh WiFi member which sports the latest standards, incorporates more powerful hardware inside and a slightly redesigned chassis. The new towers (nodes) are considerably bigger versus the first generation and are powered by beefier power supplies as well; however, even though ventilation is mainly done from the top area, the units do barely get warm, proving better optimization of the cooling system as well.

Product Features

Makes Your Current WiFi Feel Like Dial-Up

 

WiFi 6 technology delivers true gigabit speeds throughout your entire home, with up to 5.3 Gbps and 12-stream connectivity. Next-generation OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access) increases efficiency in high-density scenarios, delivering high-speed WiFi to multiple devices simultaneously.

 

Increased Coverage Range

 

Velop's Intelligent Mesh Technology, combined with WiFi 6, delivers gigabit WiFi speeds to every corner of your home, including outdoor areas.

 

Supports Even the Biggest WiFi Hoarders

 

With 4x the capacity of WiFi 5, WiFi 6 provides enough bandwidth for 50+ devices. And MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology allows downloads and uploads on eight devices simultaneously.

 

Protect Your Connected Life with Linksys Shield

 

With Linksys Shield, you have greater control of your network and can protect your family against online security risks. You’ll gain access to Parental Controls, so you can easily manage your family’s connected life and selectively filter content, manage screen time on specific devices, and even pause the internet during family time.

 

Linksys Aware, the first-ever Mesh WiFi motion sensing technology

 

Linksys Aware is a WiFi motion-sensing subscription service that uses your existing Intelligent Mesh WiFi network to sense motion without the use of cameras or additional hardware, ensuring privacy and convenience throughout your home. It detects activity via WiFi signals and sends you notifications through the Linksys App when unexpected motion has occurred.

 

Eliminates Interference from Nearby Networks

 

WiFi 6 BSS (Basic Service Set) Coloring technology eliminates interference from nearby WiFi networks, so you always have a strong, clear signal for all your devices.

 

Advanced Security

 

Safeguard your network with wireless WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access 2) encryption and an SPI (stateful packet inspection) firewall.

 

USB and Ethernet Ports Offer Versatile Connectivity

 

Equipped with four Gigabit-Ethernet ports, the MX5300 supports wired connections up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet. And thanks to the ultra-fast USB 3.0 port, you can easily connect shared storage devices.

CUSTOMIZE AND MANAGE YOUR HOME WiFi ANYTIME, ANYWHERE

 

With the Linksys App, you can closely monitor and manage your home WiFi remotely using a smartphone or tablet.

 

Parental Controls: Ensure a safe Internet experience for your kids--even when you're away from home. Reduce online distractions during homework, family or dinnertime. Restrict access to inappropriate or distracting content, control usage, and block specific devices from accessing the Internet.
