Linksys Adds HomeKit Support to Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 System

I am running into same restart system issue…two units and multiple attempts over last couple days but no luck.

Just to clarify, are you saying the AX4200 won't work with WHW03s?

I have WHW03s and might get one new one, but will be a long wait until I replace two or three.

needs to be all AX4200 or all WHW03 for HKSN. Wi-fi mesh works really, just not HKSN

Also having the restart router issue. Even tried factory reset. Out of ideas really.

This new firmware caused me some major issues. Child nodes randomly turn red and disconnects when a device needs internet access. Then Ethernet connected devices can’t get internet connections despite having the right ip addresses. I never had problem with previous firmware. So i reverted them all back and now have zero problems. I can live with no HK integration with my WiFi routers. I’ll skip this update.

Thanks for the recommendatin> I've been fighting with a few different mess units and have consistent problems with some areas in my house Going to give these units a try

I continue to be impressed by the ASUS RT-AX82. Stunning performance, range and reliability. App is superb also. IP6 is flawless. Also supports DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS and IP6 DNS. I cannot recommend these enough. I am very impressed.

Curiously the Apple TV4k "no speed" issue has disappeared. Occasionally Apple TV 4K would be buffering. On SpeedTest it would report 1-2mbps. A reset and it was back to full speed. It appeared to be flipping between 2 and 5Ghz. This issue has gone with the WiFi6 ASUS. Also noticed that two rooms away from router a Speedtest on Apple TV shows a speed of just over 800mbps which is not bad ...

I'd go with Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 System FX Ultra+

Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 System Fatal1ty Edition looks longer.

Any idea why WPA3 cannot be enabled when HomeKit is enabled?

I came home to these issues from holiday (child nodes had updated to 1.1.18) had to disable HKSN to get connection. 🥲

Anyone using this and can confirm mesh is good with fast speeds?

It was the only system I trusted to take the place of my antiquated Airport Extremes and Time Capsule.

I am very happy with them, they are a worthy unofficial successor.
