Overview
Spreading traffic across three bands, this Linksys Max-Stream router handles streaming, gaming and video calling for a home full of devices. An app sets it up, and guest Wi-Fi and parental controls are built in.
The reason to buy is tri-band speed with the option of a mesh system later. The limit is coverage and capacity, since the stated area is small and the device count is modest.
Who it's for
Households that stream movies, play online games and run smart home devices will use the third band and the controls. Large homes need more coverage than the stated area, and buyers planning a mesh expansion should check which nodes work with it.
Pros and cons
- Guest Wi-Fi and parental control
- Can work as a traditional router
- Modest coverage area
- Warranty period is short
- Mesh node compatibility not listed
- Basic firewall level
Performance notes
The third band carries traffic between devices that would otherwise compete on a single 5 GHz channel, and MU-MIMO serves several devices at the same time. Real speed depends on distance, walls and the internet plan. The headline speed is a combined figure.
