“Is this product just a node that can be used as an "add on" to a Linksys Mesh Router? Or does this item need to be plugged in to modem and therefore is a router itself? If it is the actual router, does anyone know where I can purchase 1 node? THANKS”

This is one node. You activate it via the Linksys app & a smart phone. The numbers AC1200, AC1800 etc refer to square foot coverage ie. signal strength. Single nodes are available through Best Buy or direct.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not an expert, but I believe this can be used either way. We already had a 3-node Linksys mesh system in our 100-year-old house, but one room was not getting good coverage due to plaster-lath issues. So we just bought a single node (as pictured) and added it to our system. It was very easy and the internet NOWworks great in that problem room. All we had to do during set-up was to assign this node as either a "parent" (plugged into the modem and acting as the router) or as a "child" (an additional node in the system)...we chose "child." So, to me that indicates that the nodes are interchangeable depending on where you put them and how you assign them in set-up. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You plugged it into to your router or modem for extra bust for your computer or laptop upstairs or downstairs of your house or apartment as a router for your laptop or computer that you are using in your home.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi. Yes, you can add this to your existing Linksys Mesh router. But you can also configure it as a main router.
