What you need to know

  • Linksys debuted a new Wi-Fi 6 router today.

  • You can order the Max-Stream AX1800 starting today at Best Buy.

The new Wi-Fi 6 standard is hitting tons of devices in 2020, which means router makers are all on board as well. Linksys has a growing Wi-Fi 6 router lineup, and it's getting bigger today with the launch of the new Max-Stream AX1800 (MR7350).

The Max-Stream AX1800 is on the more affordable end of Linksys' lineup, coming in at $150. That's well below the $400 Max-Stream Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 (MR9600) that debuted earlier this year. For the money, you still get quite a few handy features.

The Max-Stream AX1800 can hit speeds of up to 1.8 Gbps and packs coverage of up to 1,700 square feet. It also comes with Linksys' "Intelligent Mesh" tech, so you can pair it with further Linksys devices to create a larger mesh network throughout your home.

The Linksys Max-Stream AX1800 (MR7350) is available to order today at Best Buy, and Linksys says it will hit other retailers soon. If you want a little more horsepower, the Max-Stream Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 router is available at Amazon and Best Buy as well for $400.
