So are the routers worth the money?<\/p>\n<p>You can pick up Atlas Max 6E routers on their own, as part of a two-pack, or in a set of three. One will act as the \u201cparent\u201d node \u2014 connecting directly to the modem, and the others can be placed around your house to enhance your Wi-Fi signal, increase the number of devices that can be connected, or simply provide ethernet ports if something needs hard wiring.<\/p>\n<p>Linksys sent me a two-pack to test out, and they have been the basis of my home network for several months. So I feel I can give an honest opinion on things like setup, reliability, and day-to-day use.

You have to get the new router working with the modem, link everything up, and place nodes around your house. It can seem overwhelming, and the setup process for some modems makes it even harder. This isn\u2019t the case with the\u00a0Linksys Atlas Max 6E. Just download the app, which is available on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/linksys\/id533516503?at=1010l392g&amp;ct=rg143429\">iOS<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=14d03d76e0a6285761e58439513dfd19&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fe.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.cisco.connect.cloud%26amp%3Bhl%3Den_US%26amp%3Bgl%3DUS&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Android<\/a>, plug it in then connect an ethernet cord from your modem to whichever router from the multipack you\u2019ve decided will be your main hub. They\u2019re all the same, so it doesn\u2019t make a difference which you pick.<\/p>\n<p>The app does most of the work. No weird logins or code entries, no phone calls to your provider; just make a cup of coffee and come back in a few minutes. The app can also be used to change network names and passwords, handle things like parental controls, add a guest network, and so on. Changing the network names (SSIDs) and passwords so they match your previous Wi-Fi Network can also help your devices seamlessly migrate to the new router. Which caves you a job.<\/p>\n<p>As for the second router, and the third if you have a three-pack, things are equally simple. Just plug those in where you want them and look for them with the app. They\u2019ll be added as a child node, and again the app basically does all of the work. This may have been one of the most stress free network installations I\u2019ve ever experienced.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Coverage_is_Great\"><\/span>The Coverage is Great<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-143463\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/8da5a9ca.jpg\" alt=\"The Linksys Atlas router between some books and a wooden basket\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Dave McQuilling\/ReviewGeek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Each unit promises around 3,000 square feet of coverage, which is a larger area than most American homes. Obviously, this can also stack for each router you have. So with the two-pack, and some strategic placement, you can hit 6,000 square feet. The three-pack gets you 9,000 square feet. And so on.<\/p>\n<p>I live in an 800-square-foot apartment, and a single unit is enough to give me a strong signal in every room of my apartment, downstairs, and in a decent chunk of the backlot. Of course, walls are the enemy of any Wi-Fi signal, and that problem is exacerbated as you move through the bands. I can still get a 6GHz signal everywhere in the apartment, but the floors seem to do a great job killing it off. 5GHz is slightly better, and 2GHz seems to go on forever. The second router really comes in handy if you want a strong Wi-Fi 6E signal in multiple areas of your house.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a problem with the router, it\u2019s more to do with the frequencies themselves. This is where strategic placement comes in. Putting the second router in the downstairs laundry room means I get a strong signal everywhere in the building, including the basement. This is an old concrete building, which isn\u2019t ideal for Wi-Fi. So if I can get a signal, you should be okay in a wood-framed house.<\/p>\n<p>The second router also comes in very handy for tasks where you need to have an unrestricted view of the device that is pumping out your Wi-Fi signal. For me, as a VR enthusiast, there\u2019s one obvious application. Unfortunately, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/134773\/quest-pro-review-meta-misses-the-mark\/\">the Quest Pro is still unable to handle Wi-Fi 6E in the year 2023 \u2014 but it should be able to this year, and that will make the Atlas Max an even better router choice. I can set up the second router in my VR space and play through AirLink flawlessly \u2014 even if I am stuck on the 5GHz band for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Linksys\u2019\u00a0Atlas Max 6E routers have been the basis of my home network for several months now, and I can honestly say I have no complaints. The speed is fantastic, they\u2019re very reliable, and I\u2019ve had no problem expanding my smart home, linking new devices, or organizing my home network in that time.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wi-Fi_6E_Could_Be_a_Gamble\"><\/span>Wi-Fi 6E Could Be a Gamble<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-143467\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/0d7b13f3.jpg\" alt=\"The Linksys logo with text pointing out it is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E router\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"> Dave McQuilling\/ReviewGeek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wi-Fi 6E is arguably the routers\u2019 biggest selling point, but is it a necessity? I\u2019m going to be honest. Wi-Fi 6E may not be necessary just yet. You need a recent device to take advantage of it, and you only really, really, need it if you have Wi-Fi 6E compatible devices and a household that has multiple devices engaging in bandwidth-heavy activities, like 4K streaming, regularly.<\/p>\n<p>But things are set to change soon as 6E-compatible devices get more and more common. This is due to occur pretty soon. The chances are your smartphone is the only 6E-compatible device you currently own, and that\u2019s only the case if it\u2019s a relatively recent flagship. But if you\u2019re getting a new smart TV, projector, laptop, desktop, etc. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/106556\/why-your-next-router-should-be-wi-fi-6e\/\">in the next year or two then it will likely have support for the 6GHz band.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the argument that Wi-Fi 7 is on the horizon, so you may want to just skip 6E entirely. However, Wi-Fi 7 is going to have the same problems 6E has faced over the last few years \u2014 cost and uptake. Yes, we could see the first Wi-Fi 7 devices hit the market as early as this year\u2013 but they\u2019re going to be very, very, expensive. Then it\u2019s going to be another couple of years before the standard becomes commonplace. If you can hold off on your home upgrade for another two or three years, you may consider waiting. But Wi-Fi 6E is likely going to be the go-to fast Wi-Fi standard for a while, and I believe it should still have more than enough power even when Wi-Fi 7 starts to become established.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Ports_and_Bands_Than_Youll_Ever_Need\"><\/span>More Ports and Bands Than You\u2019ll Ever Need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-143468\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/575187c1.jpg\" alt=\"The ports on the back of the Linksys Atlas 6E router\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"> Dave McQuilling\/ReviewGeek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having multiple Wi-Fi bands is a great idea. It can help ease congestion on your network, which helps things go faster on the whole. Certain devices can also benefit from 5 GHz, and in the case of routers like the Atlas Max, 6 GHz speeds.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a smart home user, it\u2019s also handy to have a band your smart devices can all use. It helps keep everything working together nicely, and in the cases of extensive smart networks, stops tens of devices chewing up your bandwidth.<\/p>\n<p>With the\u00a0Atlas Max, you have an incredibly generous number of bands. It\u2019s a tri-band router by default, which means you have three. But that\u2019s not counting the guest network, which bumps things up to four when it\u2019s enabled. As we\u2019ve mentioned, not a lot of devices currently use Wi-Fi 6E, so that band may not get much activity yet. However, more Wi-Fi 6E capable devices are coming out every day, and it may be your go-to band in a few year\u2019s time. Wi-Fi 6E networks also have the most bandwidth available, and are capable of handling multiple heavy tasks like 4K streaming. So in addition to having a bunch of bands, it also has one that you\u2019ll struggle to overcrowd.<\/p>\n<p>Linksys also boasts that its Atlas routers have four times as many channels as \u201ccurrent Wi-Fi systems.\u201d Each router can handle up to 40 devices, so with the two pack you can have 80 devices connected at once with no issues. Although that sounds like a lot, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/72192\/why-your-smart-home-needs-a-wi-fi-6-router\/\">if you\u2019re setting up a smart home then you could find yourself approaching that number soon enough. Even if your home isn\u2019t full of Wi-Fi 6E capable devices, you\u2019ll still see a major benefit. The extra capacity these routers have will make a big difference to how your home network runs, and if you have a lot of things connected you\u2019ll find your 5GHz and 2.5GHz bands running a lot smoother than they would on a lower capacity router.<\/p>\n<p>Then you have ethernet ports. You have four per router, plus one 5Gbps port on each. One of those 5Gbps ports is going to be connected to your modem, but you\u2019ll have another on the second router that might be worth plugging a desktop into. The main router is currently wired to my printer, a second router I have for unrelated testing purposes, and occasionally my laptop. I can\u2019t really think of nine things around my apartment that need an ethernet connection, so it\u2019s probably more ports than the average user will need. You can host a LAN game on the 5 GHz network these days.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_Very_Good_if_You_Can_Afford_It\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">Its Very Good if You Can Afford It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-143464\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/e529694e.jpg\" alt=\"The LinkSYS Atlas 6E router on a shelf between a vase and a picture\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Dave McQuilling\/ReviewGeek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you have the money, I can\u2019t recommend the\u00a0Linksys Atlas Max 6E router enough.

But even at a discount of over 50%, they\u2019re still over $400 a pair, and still on the expensive side of things as far as routers go.\u00a0 The single router <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Linksys-Tri-Band-Coverage-Devices-8-4Gbps\/dp\/B099FGQGNV?tag=lsmedia-13955-20\">doesn\u2019t seem to be on sale<\/a>, and may cost you more than the two pack at the moment.\u00a0If it is within your budget, it\u2019s a solid system you won\u2019t regret buying. Otherwise, there are cheaper ways to get a reliable network and Wi-Fi 6E in your home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Lots of bands available<\/li>\n<li>Great range<\/li>\n<li>Easy set-up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s pretty expensive<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi 7 may make it obsolete soon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
