UNIQUELY EXPENSIVE

The Atlas 6 is Linksys’ most affordable mesh networking system with specs that are less headline-grabbing and more everyday-usable.

UNIQUELY EXPENSIVE

To start, it’s a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 system that supports speeds of up to 574Mbps on its 2.4GHz network and up to 2,402Mbps on its 5GHz network. In keeping with the design language that Linksys started with its Velop units back in 2017, the Atlas 6 has a fairly plain aesthetic. It won’t be wrong to just call it a small white tower. Some will regard it as boring, but the upside is that it won’t look visually obtrusive in your home.

Though fairly compact – just over 18cm tall and 8.6cm wide at the base – Linksys has managed to cram four Gigabit Ethernet ports. One serves as a WAN port for connecting to your optical modem or LAN port for backhaul, and another three that you can use to connect to devices like a gaming console, Apple TV 4K, or a NAS device. These four ports widen the Atlas 6’s functionality around the home.

Where the Atlas 6 really excels is in its ease of use. Simply connect the Atlas to your optical modem, download the Linksys app onto your device (iOS or Android), and follow the on-screen instructions to set up the main router and then additional nodes. If everything goes smoothly, you could easily get it up and running in around 10 to 15 minutes.

However, this does mean you need an iOS or Android device to get the Atlas 6 up and running, you cannot do it with a PC or Mac.
