Linksys Atlas Pro 6 review 2024: delivers great performance

Linksys’s new Atlas 6 (MX2000) is an entry-level Wi-Fi 6 mesh system, but it has more features and works better than the very cheapest Wi-Fi 6 mesh kits. It’s a good competitor to products like the Amazon-owned Eero 6, which also promises fast Wi-Fi and service for the whole house at a price that most people can afford.

Also, each “node” (router) in the three-pack has four Ethernet LAN ports, so you can connect PCs, TV set-top boxes, and other devices that don’t have Wi-Fi but need to be linked to the internet. Most mesh Wi-Fi setups that cost this much have one or, if you’re lucky, two Ethernet ports.

Linksys Atlas Pro 6 review: Design and Features

Depending on how big your house is, the Linksys Atlas Pro 6 comes in packs of one, two, or three. We would say that the single pack isn’t a good choice unless you’re looking to update, and if you don’t need a mesh system, you’d be better off with a dedicated router. Each device is the same and has one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. That’s a good number of Ethernet ports for wired devices, so it’s likely you won’t need to buy an extra switch to go with this mesh system.

Linksys Atlas Pro 6 review: Performance

This is an AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 system, and it has bands that are 160MHz wide. How well these routes work depends on how many other networks are close by. At my home, we could only get stations that were 80MHz wide. Theoretically, this router’s top speeds on the 2.4GHz band are 600Mbps and on the 5GHz band, 4,800Mbps. (the number of streams is not disclosed).

As was already said, all of this bandwidth is shared between clients because there is no separate Wi-Fi channel for communication like there is with the Netgear Orbi RBK852. When we tried throughput, we started close to the device and saw speeds of 669.5Mbps, which is very fast. When we moved to the first floor, speeds dropped to a good 411.44Mbps. At 373.2Mbps, speeds were still good on the second floor. You can buy this wifi from its official website

Linksys Atlas Pro 6 review: Price and availability

At S$2,299, the MSI Cyborg 15 is a reasonable price for a mid-range gaming laptop. There are cheaper and more expensive choices around S$2,000, but the Cyborg looks more interesting than most of its competitors because it doesn’t use LEDs. More than that, we were surprised by how cool it stayed even in games. The fact that the MSI Center can be changed to fit your needs is also a plus because it means you can use less software. You can get the MSI Cyborg 15 at Lazada, Shopee, and Amazon SG right now.

Final Words

The Linksys Atlas Pro 6 WiFi Mesh System is a good one. This system is ready for the newest technological advances because it works with WiFi 6, MU-MIMO, and OFDMA. This setup has a great range and did very well in our tests of 5 GHz throughput. The Linksys app makes it easy to set up the system. In the app, you can find child controls, WiFi settings, and quality of service (QoS). We were especially happy with the parental controls, which let you set time limits, block material, and more. Overall, we think this is a great WiFi Mesh System that is worth the big price tag.
