Review: So far so good. Relatively Easy setup, handles all my smart devices. Too simple. - 1-week Update: so far so good, no failure or drop out. Coverage inside the house is decent; coverage outside (or at exterior walls / extreme corners) not so good. I tried a couple of range extenders but they are still slow. Router signal to exterior garage is still not great. But good router in all other respects, so I will keep in service. At $25 each I’m tempted to buy a 2nd to try as à wireless node at the extreme end/corner of the house. I have been using the TP-Link routers for the past several years. They work fine but when I saw this special deal ($25 !!!) I decided to give it a try. Wasn’t 2-day delivery but it arrived the day before my trip. I was going to wait but I just couldn’t. 😄 The instructions are very sparse, just a 2-page pamphlet. There’s a QR code at the bottom that takes you to the Linksys Smart WiFi webpage to manage the router. This required me to enter my name and email and other information that should not have been needed. Then for some reason it didn’t even work properly. So instead I downloaded the iOS app, entered the router’s password (on the bottom), and that seemed to work much better. It picked up the Internets from the cable modem ok, and after 2 tries it let me set my SSID and WiFi password to the same as that of my old router. That way all of the devices would reconnect. Only a couple did not right away, and one still does not for some reason. (Upon further reflection this might not be the fault of the router.) As far as information for diagnosis, the router has a single colored LED on top, nothing else. I have my router set high on the top shelf in my closet to provide the best coverage; the LED on top is therefore not directly visible. I can sort of see its reflection on the ceiling, but not so much in bright sunlight. I wish there were more LED’s like other routers, and on the front or side. It’s basically a single minimalist tower, with no external antennae. It gives just a little higher speed than my old one. It’s supposed to be WiFi 6 capable but it seems to assign the same channel as the old 5 GHz signal. What I care about more is network signal reach and strength/stability. Inside the house seems to be ok but I was hoping the signal would do better reaching out to my detached garage. The door opener hub didn’t quite work at first; but I was able to unplug it and plug it back in which seemed to correct it. My outside camera also had a hard time connecting until I restored my range extender. The app has a lot more options for configuration and status than that of my old router. I haven’t tried the webpage on my PC yet to see if there are more (signal strength, VPN, DNS, etc.). It’s not clear if this has mesh capabilities to provide more coverage. It lists itself as a “node”, implying that other “nodes” could be added. Whether this is true, or how they get added, is not clear. If I were to get a second one of these, would it need a physical Ethernet connection, or would it connect via WiFi? I think even the product information on Linksys’ website implies this is not mesh-capable. (I would bet a lot of people initially bought this thinking it was, only to be disappointed, hence the clearance price.) Overall meh. For $25 it’s a really good value if you need a new router and want an easy setup. Also nice if you want something simple , elegant, and minimalist. For somewhat more advanced users I’m not sure if this fits the bill. But the options for those users are FAR more expensive. Really this is not much better than my old router, if at all. Review: Solid router at an extremely affordable price - I was initially hesitant about ordering this router, but I decided to bite the bullet, trusting desertcart's wonderful return policy. To my surprise, this router turned out to be one of my best purchases! It may only offer basic functionalities, but it excels in what it does. The support for WiFi 6 is fantastic, and I can finally enjoy the full speed of my internet connection over WiFi. The coverage is also impressive, the best I've experienced with budget routers. (Of course, if you're already using a flagship router, you won't probably be reading my review.) There are a couple of downsides worth mentioning: - The power adapter is enormous, requiring at least 4 inches of space for installation. I'm considering finding or buying a compact adapter with compatible specs (12V, 3.0A). - The feature set is pretty basic. I knew going in that it didn't support mesh networking or fast roaming, but I do wish it had per-device usage statistics. I've seen online that there's a good chance OpenWRT will be ported to this router, which could address some of the feature limitations. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend this router to anyone looking for a reliable budget option. ## Features - LIGHTNING FAST WIFI SPEEDS: Tri-Band WiFi 6 Routers are designed to deliver gigabit WiFi speeds to your entire home, backyard and outdoor smart home devices - POWERFUL WIFI 6 COVERAGE: Supporting 40 devices, covering up to 2,700 sq ft these WiFi routers provide up to 3.5x more WiFi capacity for more stable streaming, gaming, and smart home devices - EASY SETUP & CONTROL: Wireless routers set up in minutes with the free Linksys App, allowing seamless management of your network system from home or on the go - SECURITY OUT OF THE BOX - With automatic firmware updates, parental controls, and separate guest networks these WiFi routers allow the entire family to surf safely - WHAT'S INCLUDED: One Linksys Router, One ethernet cable, One power adapter with interchangeable plugs (12V, 3A) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D742T4LW | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Antenna Type | Internal | | Best Sellers Rank | #95,359 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #659 in Computer Routers | | Brand | Linksys | | Built-In Media | router | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Gaming Console, Tablet, Security Camera, Printer, Personal Computer, Smartphone, Smart Television, Thermostat Compatible Devices Gaming Console, Tablet, Security Camera, Printer, Personal Computer, Smartphone, Smart Television, Thermostat See more | | Connectivity Protocol | WiFi | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | App Control | | Coverage | up to 2,700 sq ft | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 181 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 4.2 Gigabits Per Second | | Frequency Band Class | Tri-Band | | Is Modem Compatible | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.5"L x 4.5"W x 9.57"H | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 1000 Mbps | | Manufacturer | Linksys | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 4.2 Gigabits Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | LN1301 / MX4300 | | Model Name | LN1301 | | Model Number | LN1301 / MX4300 | | Number of Antennas | 3 | | Number of Ports | 4 | | Operating System | RouterOS | | Other Special Features of the Product | Tri-Band | | Router Network Type | tri-band | | Security Protocol | WPA2 | | Smart Home Compatibility | Smart Home Compatible | | Special Feature | Tri-Band | | UPC | 745883881321 | | Wireless Communication Standard | 802.11ax | | Wireless Compability | 802.11ax | ## Product Details - **Antenna Type:** Internal - **Brand:** Linksys - **Color:** White - **Frequency Band Class:** Tri-Band - **Included Components:** router - **Model Name:** LN1301 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Gaming - **Special Feature:** Tri-Band - **Wireless Communication Standard:** 802.11ax ## Images ![Linksys LN1301 WiFi Router - Tri-Band WiFi - Plug-n-Play Setup - Covers up to 2700 sq. ft. - Speed up tp 4.2 Gbps - Handles 40+ Devices - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41bDXLEAOxL.jpg) ![Linksys LN1301 WiFi Router - Tri-Band WiFi - Plug-n-Play Setup - Covers up to 2700 sq. ft. - Speed up tp 4.2 Gbps - Handles 40+ Devices - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aZikDCjuL.jpg) ![Linksys LN1301 WiFi Router - Tri-Band WiFi - Plug-n-Play Setup - Covers up to 2700 sq. ft. - Speed up tp 4.2 Gbps - Handles 40+ Devices - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41kv61CV9SL.jpg) ![Linksys LN1301 WiFi Router - Tri-Band WiFi - Plug-n-Play Setup - Covers up to 2700 sq. ft. - Speed up tp 4.2 Gbps - Handles 40+ Devices - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41s6rCQCyVL.jpg) ![Linksys LN1301 WiFi Router - Tri-Band WiFi - Plug-n-Play Setup - Covers up to 2700 sq. ft. - Speed up tp 4.2 Gbps - Handles 40+ Devices - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/410A-h9rncL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good.

The firmware is very 'Plain-Linksys', not very tweakable. The router set the internet itself up automatically. Some says that there'll be no firmware updates from Linksys but I'm hoping for an 'openwrt'. Excellent range and throughput for a 'budget router'. Linksys-app and remote-access works. Update : Installed dd-wrt. The range doesn't match the rt-ax58u although the Wifi throughput on 80MHz is better at close range. I'd choose the routers with 'external antennas' for 'standalone setups' for longer range but for mesh this should do fine. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/639753616-linksys-ln1301-wifi-router-tri-band-wifi-plug-n-play](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/639753616-linksys-ln1301-wifi-router-tri-band-wifi-plug-n-play) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
