It covers up to 3,000 square feet, handles 40 or more connected devices, and runs on Linksys Intelligent Mesh, so you can add compatible Linksys nodes later without replacing it. This is a router only: it connects to any cable modem, fiber ONT, or ISP gateway and works on every provider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mg-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eLinksys MR9610 (Max-Stream AX6000)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Spec\"\u003eService Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Detail\"\u003eRouter only.

The 1.8 GHz quad-core processor has the headroom for 4K streaming, gaming, and video calls on the same network without the slowdowns older dual-band routers show under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMesh-ready without buying a kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost homes only need the single router. If a far bedroom or a detached garage stays weak, add a Linksys Intelligent Mesh node and it joins the same network name and password. That makes the MR9610 a practical starting point: buy the router now and extend only if you need to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWired connections and USB storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour gigabit LAN ports cover a desktop, console, and a TV or switch.

Connect its WAN port to your cable modem, DSL or fiber gateway, or fiber ONT and it works on Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, AT\u0026amp;T, Verizon Fios, and every other provider. If you use an ISP gateway with built-in WiFi, put the gateway in bridge or IP passthrough mode so the MR9610 handles routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy renewed from ModemGuides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery MR9610 we ship is Grade A: hand-tested on a live connection, factory reset, and inspected for cosmetic condition before it goes in the box. It ships from the US and is covered by our 90-day full-coverage warranty and 30-day free return policy, with in-house support if you need help getting it online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I still need a modem with the Linksys MR9610?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MR9610 is a router only. It plugs into a cable modem, fiber ONT, or ISP gateway and provides the WiFi and wired network for your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MR9610 the same as the MR9600?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MR9610 is the same Max-Stream AX6000 hardware sold under a retail SKU. Firmware, specs, and app support are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to buy mesh nodes for it to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It works as a standard router on its own. Mesh nodes are optional for extending coverage later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat internet speed can it handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gigabit WAN port supports plans up to about 940 Mbps. For multi-gig plans you would want a router with a 2.5 GbE WAN port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it support WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 devices?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a WiFi 6 router on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Newer WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 devices connect normally on those bands; they just will not use the 6 GHz band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I set it up without the app?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Linksys app is the intended setup path and the easiest one. A browser-based admin page is also available at the router's local address for advanced settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the 90-day warranty cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny hardware fault in the first 90 days. We replace or refund; you do not deal with the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.mg-product{color:inherit}\n.mg-product .mg-intro{font-size:1.05em;margin-bottom:1.25em}\n.mg-product table.mg-specs{width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:0 0 1.5em}\n.mg-product table.mg-specs td{padding:.55em .75em;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.25);vertical-align:top;color:inherit}\n.mg-product table.mg-specs td:first-child{font-weight:600;width:32%}\n.mg-product .mg-included{padding:1em 1.25em;margin:1.5em 0;border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.3);border-radius:6px;background:rgba(128,128,128,.06)}\n.mg-product .mg-included h3{margin-top:0}\n.mg-product .mg-included ul{margin-bottom:0}\n@media (max-width:768px){\n.mg-product table.mg-specs,.mg-product table.mg-specs tbody,.mg-product table.mg-specs tr,.mg-product table.mg-specs td{display:block;width:100%}\n.mg-product table.mg-specs tr{margin-bottom:.75em;border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,.25);border-radius:6px;padding:.5em .75em}\n.mg-product table.mg-specs td{border:0;padding:.25em 0}\n.mg-product table.mg-specs td:first-child{width:auto}\n.mg-product table.mg-specs td:first-child::before{content:attr(data-label) \": \";font-weight:400;opacity:.7}\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666612641878,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/9463\/2534\/files\/CopyofUntitledDesign_81.png?v=1787876056","url":"https:\/\/www.modemguides.com\/products\/linksys-mr9610-ax6000-mesh-wifi-6-router","provider":"ModemGuides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
