Linksys - Hydra Pro Mesh WiFi 6E Router MR7500

Well if you are lucky and find a cheap linksys mr7500 you have most boxes ticked. Stable with the snapshot openwrt. 2.5G port and 4x 1GB ports. Excellent working 6GHz channel. A bit less so the 2.4 and 5GHz ranges. Real wifi 6E.

I currently have three. One original bought about 200 euro. Two on a marketplace for about 60 euro each. Ymmv.

I had plume pods which worked really well but they had a device limit and I far exceeded that. I tried obi for about 4 days and had nothing but problems then I went to the Linksys 6e (wired backhaul) setup which worked well for a while until one day it didn’t. I even reset everything and HomeKit devices were still dropping. The worst part is that I invested so much time and money into everything. Now i dropped about 1300 on my unifi setup which worked well is slowly expanding and costing even more haha. I’m done with AP’s (3 U6E) cameras are up next but I need to upgrade my 16 lite switch to a pro switch due to power consumption. I’ll slowly be adding 4 more cameras and possibly a doorbell

I have a Linksys tri band mesh system (older but meets our needs) and I don't notice any roaming issues, I can walk from the front of the property to the back on a wifi sip phone and not notice and interruption, and I do know I have to cross three AP's to do that, two wired and one wireless back haul
