What customers say
Customers appreciate the Linksys MR9600's strong Wi-Fi 6 speeds and the straightforward setup via the intuitive app. Initial performance in smaller homes is often praised, along with easy integration into existing Velop mesh networks. However, the dominant theme is reliability. Many users report frustrating stability issues, including frequent disconnections and performance drops that require constant troubleshooting. This inconsistency significantly undermines the router's high potential. Given the premium cost, many question the overall value when faced with persistent connectivity problems, leading to sharply divided user experiences.
