Linksys is taking the wraps off its latest mesh router offering at CES 2021, the Linksys AXE8400 Wi-Fi 6E Mesh System.
Linksys AXE8400
The new Linksys AXE8400 Wi-Fi 6E Mesh System is a mesh system that will yield benefits for households with both Wi-Fi 6e devices and non-Wi-Fi 6e devices alike. Each router is a stark white rectangular column, similar to its Velop routers.
Hardware-wise, it is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. It has nine internal antennas, four LAN ports, a USB 3.0 port, and a 5-Gigabit WAN port. This router has a tri-band dynamic backhaul that allows the router to utilize the 6GHz spectrum for the backhaul between nodes even if no Wi-Fi 6e-enabled devices are in the home. At the moment no Apple devices directly support Wi-Fi 6e.
