The MR7350 Mesh router is not the first router from Linksys — Linksys Velop and Linksys MR9600 — that supports the latest WiFi 6 technology. However, with this model, the company has expanded its range of WiFi routers, especially mesh WiFi routers.
The MR750 AX1800 Mesh WiFi6 router comes with a broad range of features and specifications. However, it is a dual-band (2.4GHz + 5GHz) router and tops out the maximum speed of up to 1.8 Gbps using both of the bands – since it is an affordable router, we can’t expect more than that. Therefore, it won’t be fair to compare it with the MR9600 router that delivers a maximum speed of up to 6Gbps with a coverage of up to 3,000 square feet.
With the coverage of up to 1700 square feet, the Linksys Max-Stream AX1800 can be used as a mesh node on a mesh network — An WiFi6-based mesh network.
Linksys also claims the router to be backward compatible and supports previous generation WiFi standards’ routers (802.11ac/n/g/b). Furthermore, it also offers compatibility with other Linksys Velop mesh WiFi routers.
