Linksys, a global leader in home and business Wi-Fi solutions, today announces the availability of the market's first Wi-Fi 6E certified systems, the Linksys Hydra Pro 6E and award-winning Linksys Atlas Max 6E.

The Linksys Hydra Pro 6E tri-band router unleashes multi-gigabit Wi-Fi speeds at up to 6.6Gbps (AXE6600) to cover 2,700 square feet and more than 55 devices at one time. It combines built-in mesh technology and industry-leading chipset from Qualcomm for wire-like stability and blazing-fast performance for a home full of people to enjoy pro gaming or HD streaming.

Other key features include a 5Gbps WAN port for multi-gigabit speeds, easy setup through the free Linksys app, seamless compatibility with existing modem and internet provider, and automatic updates and Guest Access to ensure your network is secure, up-to-date, and safe from cyber threats.

Linksys Atlas Max 6E
Unveiled in January as the Linksys AXE8400 Wi-Fi 6E System, the newly dubbed Linksys Atlas Max 6E is now available for purchase. Powered by the Qualcomm Networking Pro 1210 Platform, the Linksys Atlas Max 6E tri-band system unleashes the biggest upgrade to Wi-Fi in a decade to provide ultimate performance across hundreds of devices. The system supports bandwidth-heavy homes and leverages the 6GHz band for backhaul between nodes so that all devices - 6E or not - benefit from the system.

It is the first fully certified Wi-Fi 6E solution by the Wi-Fi Alliance, ensuring it meets the highest standards for security and safety so consumers can have peace of mind using any device on their network. It is also the first Wi-Fi 6E system with mesh built in***, no extra updates or additional hardware necessary. Other key features include 1-pack, 2-pack or 3-pack options, mesh capabilities for growing Wi-Fi needs, a 5Gbps WAN port for multi-gigabit wireless speeds, four Gigabit LAN ports and one USB 3.0 port for multiple hardwire or USB connections, easy app-based setup, and seamless compatibility with existing modem and internet provider.

Availability
  • Linksys Hydra Pro 6E is available now for $499.99 MSRP on Linksys.com and coming soon to major retailers.
  • Linksys Atlas Max 6E (3-pack) is available now for $1,199.99 MSRP on Linksys.com and coming soon to major retailers.
Personally I find the prices way too high. I realise the specs are optimum, but I still don't personally believe the price is justified.

    Has anyone used their mesh system? I only install and recommend wired APs to customers for better performance, but there are a few that I'm sure could get away with a mesh system that would be overall cheaper and simpler to set up. We usually use Ubiquity for our customers and they work great.

    $500 for a router... and it doesn't even have multi-gig or 10Gbe support.
