I have 3 of the Tri-band and 2 of the dual-band as a mesh network in my house (not that big, but I got them at different times from Linksys to test). I’ve been really pleased with the simplicity of setting them up, and their seamless functioning. Adding nodes to a network is quite easy as well. The app that lets you control the network will notify you if a node gets disconnected for whatever reason. I can see which devices are on my network or have been, and control access. I have no dead spots in my house and the wireless easily reaches into my backyard or front yard when I’m mowing the lawn and streaming my music library.
I would recommend this setup for the more typical consumer user who wants to set and forget their WiFi network at home…it is rare that I have to reset the network or do anything to keep it going. It will even do auto firmware updates, etc.
