Linksys - Velop Atlas Max 6E (MX8502)

I've bought myself a set of three Linksys Atlas MX8500 recently. They have a 5Gbps WAN port, Wifi 6E and USB.

I highly recommend Linksys. I myself have used Linksys (off and on, admittedly non-exclusively, I am a sucker for a Good Deal, and while I *can* absolutely be a Brand Whore, I can also be very much like, Well you know, I like McDonald's, Burger King, & Wendy's, and even Hardee's, Carl Jr.'s, Sonic's, and one of them is having a particularly-sweet deal, so I'm going with THAT one...) But I bought a Linksys WiFi 6E Mesh Router system last year, on a great deal from Best Buy, and we absolutely love it. Don't get a TP-Link , if you can avoid it, it came out last year that they come from the factory with Chinese spy stuff on it, like hardwired. (and certainly I have used TPLink stuff , but not at the moment IIRC) As much as I want to recommend a Mesh WiFi Router setup to you, it sounds like you don't need it ... If you're really on Spectrum 1 Gig, and only a PC & Phone, you really wouldn't need it... You can probably use a WiFI 6, I myself would probably want to go with a 6E just so you're not buying a new one in a year or two or three if things change. IMHO you *definitely* don't need a WiFi 7 router, why spend $350-$500-$750 bucks to handle speeds you don't even have and hundreds & hundreds of devices across a big-ass house full of people connecting to it that you don't have, right?

I have the Linksys Atlas and it has been solid for our mix of HomeKit, Google Home, laptops and various other interwebs. We are a high use household with two adults WFH and two teens who stream and game and we have had zero connectivity issues.

Mesh systems were built for this application. I'm a longterm satisfied Linksys Velop user.

I have just moved to Unifi from Linksys due to the constant issues with the Velop mesh. All wired and seems to be working very well. Even the Mrs is happy

Well, the good part is that any Wi-Fi router should be able to transmit at about 600 megabytes per second minimum. However, you're only paying for 100 megabytes per second into the house. That means anything you're accessing over the internet is not going to be a problem with the cheapest router you can purchase. As has been stated already in other comments, your biggest decision-making should be based on coverage. If you have a large home, it might be best to go with a router that can have mesh devices added to it later if you find that you'll need them. For instance, a linksys, velop line of routers work pretty well.

Linksys Velop was a game changer for my Google Home experience. 4 Refurb nodes. Were inexpensive too. https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/s/f0uwyP1uNK

Usually, I'm the guy answering these questions but I've hit an impasse.. We have 2 gb Fibre and looking to optimize and utilize that speed across 4000 square ft. I've seen the netgear 970 (pricey) and asus zen... Just looking for a decent mesh which is secure and customizable for my home. Currently running linksys mesh wifi 6 which isn't great and maxes out at 1gb Wan port..
