Original Review
A Virgin Fibre Hub3, now lying flat on its side in a corner on the carpet. Happily basking in its retirement as a modem. The Linksys MR7350 now sitting gracefully atop said Hub3, shining in WiFi6 Mesh glory!
So we’ve had the Fibre M350 package from VM for a while now and broadband speeds were up and down and WiFi connections sketchy and terrible beyond the adjacent rooms. A real bug but never enough to quite do anything about it until the boys grew up enough to have their own tablets and xboxes. And Firesticks. None of which would reliably connect from their rooms.
While searching for a solution I am full glad that I found this Linksys router.
Step 1: log in to your Hub3 and set it to Modem Only mode.
Step 2: connect the Linksys MR7350 to the now modem using the included cable (and correct port).
Step 3: download the Linksys app on your phone and go through the easiest WiFi setup ever.
Step 4: connect all your devices to your beautiful new WiFi.
The router now consistently reports the full 380Mbps from the VM M350 plan which is just over average AND all 14 WiFi connected devices report SpeedTest results of 80-100Mbps throughout the house.
Amazing!
All the instructions from above you can find on Google. It’s the easiest setup I’ve ever gone through. Obviously all 14 devices aren’t going to get the full 80-100Mbps as the overall fibre connection is 380Mbps but it means it’s available for amazing 4K streaming on all 14 devices, if they could stream 4K..... roll on 8K then!!!!

I live in a block of flats and the WiFi 5 spectrum has become so ridiculously congested on the 5Ghz band. My trusty tp-link router is coming to 6 years old and it was top spec when 8 purchased it back in 2015.
I was getting stuipd amounts of drop off just to many times. So I managed to manually set the the channal to 44 and drop the frequency rate down to just 40mhz triad of it fairly stable channal however half the WiFi bandwith.
Anyhow.. I throught now a good time to upgrade and was thinking about WiFi 6 next generation. Yes you can get so called "Tri-Band" WiFi 5 routers but that would be a pointless purchase as WiFi 5 routers no matter how great the specs are you are literally limited to channals 36,40,44 & 48 and that's it from my knowledge.
With WiFi 6 next generation you are open to a far higher upper limit on the 5ghz band. So Wi-Fi 6 gives you channals from 52 all the way upto 140 well on this linksys router it's does. It also gives you access to what's called "DFS" channals. I won't go into to detials here about that. Anyhow with these channals majority of the ussal "ISP" routers only are based on the standard WiFi 5 channals.
So with this router I have manually assigned it to Channal 100 and absolutely no one else has a Wi-Fi 6 router broadcasting on the any of these frequencys yet. I dought any ISPs will adopt and or give away for free WiFi 6 routers yet as the are pretty expensive to make and fairly new on the commercial market.
If you have a compatible WiFi 6 device this router also fully supports what's called "Channal Bonding" to give you 160mhz. The ussal standards are 20mhz,40mhz & 80mhz.
With the correct legacy device that means 160mhz can cover a huge area on the 5ghz band.
So yeah this Wi-Fi 6 router does not surport so called "Tri-Band" but for me who cares!! Plenty of WiFi 6 channals to choose from 52 to 140.. On 80mhz and with the correct Wi-Fi 6 legacy device mobile phone ext 160mhz that's a massive positive for me.
I have watched absolutely loads of 4K Ultra-HD HDR10 & Dolby Vision content with streaming services like Disney+, Netflix & Prime Video. They all play with more or less instant buffering now no more than 2sec with Netlfix and Even disney + Star Wars.
I'm using a Amazon 2019 4K Firecube which in it self is a ridiculously outstanding peace of hardware. With Netflix 4K Ultra-HD HDR10 and Dolby Vision content looking nothing short of stunning. This goes for Disney + Prime Video.
Iv had no drop outs what so ever for a months now. This router is super powerful... 1.8Mhz "Quad Core" CPU!! And overhaul 1GB of internal memory.
Okay for some you can't take of the antennas and replace them with larger ones so that for some maybe an issue as they are fixed . To be honest it's got such a powerful CPU backed up by 1GB of overall memory I doubt in real world terms this will create an issue for people.
This is subjective for me linksys are a very "grown up & professional" company so the look of the router it self did somewhat play a part. It's modern, elegant pretty well made build wise. Nice neon light on the front which tell you the state of the routers in. So would absolutely look great in the Average Home lounge bedroom or office.
Yes Asus are a absolutely fantastic brand too but they are certainly far more aimed at the gaming market so some of their routers with their striking looks and big lights just not for me at all would stick out so much and some of the designs looked so garish and ugly.
Na.. Linksys just exactly what I wanted. The software is fantastic. The apps is brilliant. Theirs is a basic setup when you first log into the router. However their is a "Advanced" setup for folks like my self with more than enough functions that want to Thame their routers to their own liking.
When I brought it within the first week their was a software update.
I have had to have a few Web live chats with linksys customer support and they have been a great help with some items that I did not understand or needed some assistance on. Exactly what I would expect from a company like linksys very professional approach.
What I did not realise is they informed me that linksys still support Legacy devices dating back to 2009!!. Tp-link last update on my previous router what 2017.. So that's big thumps up.
Now not writing off my previous tp-link VR2600 router, I am still using it as a DSL modem and have bridged it to the Linksys. I have EE UK firbre broadband with a 80mbps connection and I get a very solid rate of 75mps. The tp-link has a very good quality Broadcom chipset and line never drops.
So using the tp-link router as a V-DSL modem and the linksys Wi-Fi 6 router its a bloody powerful combo. The linksys hopefully will now last me another 5-6 years or probably longer now. I dought very much Wi-Fi 6 standards will be overtaken or superseded anytime soon.
I could just use my free EE Bright Box router as its smaller in size compared to my tp-link as a DSL modem only however the tp-link was a £160 back in 2015 and as I stated the quality of the Broadcom DSL modem that tp-link fitted on that VR2600 was best available at that time.
So why not use the best of both I say.
