The Atlas 6 is a dual-band mesh Wi-Fi system, which means that it has 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi. Most mesh Wi-Fi systems at this price have one Ethernet port, or two if you’re lucky. What’s more, each ‘node’ (each router) in the three-pack device has four Ethernet LAN ports, which means you can hook up PCs, TV set-top boxes and any other devices that don’t have Wi-Fi but do need to be connected to the internet. It’s a good rival to the likes of the Amazon-owned Eero 6, promising fast Wi-Fi and whole-home coverage for a price many can afford. Linksys’s new Atlas 6 (MX2000) is a Wi-Fi 6 mesh system that’s relatively close to entry-level, but offers quite a few features – and better performance – than the absolute cheapest Wi-Fi 6 mesh kits.

The user-friendly app makes it easy to manage your network, and to add more nodes in larger homes, increasing coverage if it’s needed. The Linksys Atlas 6 provides fast and reliable whole-home coverage for a sensible price.
