The Linksys mobile app is required for initial setup, and you need to create a Linksys account. The setup process for the Linksys Velop system is similar to most mesh Wi-Fi kits. Velop Setup, Mobile App, and Web Interface Dong Knows Tech did a good review of the AX4200 if you’re interested in more details on that model. There will be some differences between the two in backhaul performance, but I only have the AX5300 on hand to test with. The good news is that both models feature a 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio, supporting fast 5 GHz performance to multiple devices at once. They’re more equivalent than the numbers would suggest, and I’d suggest purchasing the one you can find a better deal on.
#LINKSYS VELOP AX4200 REVIEW UPGRADE#
A lot of people will see the higher numbers in the AX5300 and incorrectly assume it’s a big upgrade over the AX4200. The difference in real-world performance between the AX4200 and AX5300 isn’t much, but sneaking in an older radio into a Wi-Fi 6 model just feels wrong. Also worth noting: the power adapter is a large wall wart, and can cover multiple outlets on a regular power strip. The overall design and hardware quality is OK, which is good because their size makes them hard to hide. They’re both big, at nearly 10 inches tall. The AX5300 uses a trick that a lot of manufacturers have used, upgrading only some of the radios to Wi-Fi 6.
The AX4200 also features one less Ethernet LAN port, a slower processor, and half the RAM of the AX5300. The AX4200 features less overall spatial streams, but supports Wi-Fi 6 on all three radios. The biggest difference between the AX4200 and AX5300 is the number of spatial streams and the Wi-Fi standards they support.
