About Linksys Atlas Pro 6 WiFi Router
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
78% praised the intuitive app, but 22% struggled
The mobile app may be too simple for some users.
The icons in the iOS app and browser app are inconsistent and not compatible.
I wish the app was as good as Eero, but I consider it adequate.
I dislike the Linksys interface as it is dumbed down and similar to an iPhone style interface. There should be an option to remove the training wheels for people who know what they are doing.

90% praised the coverage area, but 10% found dead spots
I used 4 nodes to cover my house, garage, shop, and patio area totaling 3300 sq', 800 sq', 2400 sq', and respectively.
The coverage area seems to be similar to our previous setup.
I had to set up three units to cover my three-bedroom apartment. The second unit was set about thirty feet away and the third unit was placed in the last bedroom to cover the whole apartment.
81% liked the customizable settings, yet 19% found them limited
Some settings are only accessible from the web UI, which is not supported by Safari on iOS nor Chrome in a Mac.
I find it difficult to assign restrictions and locate a device as the system often gets host names and device manufacturers wrong.
92% found it easy to set up, while 8% had trouble
Setting up the router with the Linksys mobile app was very easy. I always prefer it over other mesh systems I've tested and reviewed before.
The setup process is like a relay and the signal is transferred from one unit to another almost by line of sight.
Linksys technical support is superb. The staffs are friendly, professional, and patiently guided me for 2 and 1 hour to solve connection and set up issues.
Setting up a WiFi network was relatively easy, but it took me 3 attempts to access the internet through the modem.

89% appreciated the performance, but 11% experienced issues
I recommend this product over many other brands I have tried for its performance.
On my automation network, the Google Mesh has consistently handled around 100 devices.
I like the system for its performance but have issues with the app and controls.
81% were impressed with the security features, although 19% weren't
I appreciate the separate subnets and security features of the Linksys router.
There is no way to kick off someone on our network. We can only change the password, which requires reconnecting everything else.
I bought more Linksys Velop mesh routers to gain stability in my 3200 soft home, but it didn't work.
