    My son recommended this model when our other router took a dive. He installed it and set it all up and said it was pretty easy. We have had no problems with out internet since installation and we can get a good signal all over our large home.

    This is the best, most user friendly wireless router I have ever used. It's also powerful and improved our Internet speed, allowing us to watch Netflix and other other streaming media in a rural location with slow in-coming Internet.

    I installed this router and within just a few minutes it was working great. I could configure guest access and also see what my download and upload speed tests were. This router is also great to manage devices hooked to the network.

    It was easy to install. I upgraded from a N band router because of the increasing number of wireless devices in the house. It handles multiple devices well and seems to be all I need to support four active household users.

    This is my 4th generation of Linksys wireless router. The last one died after less than 4 years, which was disappointing. But overall I've had good luck with Linksys stuff so I went with this unit. Set up was pretty easy, and everything - including the USB disk that serves my Sonos system - came up right away. This unit seems to run cooler than the E3000 that it replaced, so hopefully it will have a longer life. Performance is fine - and all the streaming/gaming on my Xbox One work well. Coverage through my house is very strong.

    On the recommendation of a salesperson we had purchased a Belkin product to replace our first Link sys, which had stopped working after seven years of use in our vacation home. The Belkin became unreliable after less than one year of use so we went back to Linksys (based on our experience with the Linksys in our primary home, which has been functioning flawlessly for at least a dozen years.) Since this current purchase is a recent one, we don't know how long it will last but we are hoping that it will give us the kind of service we are accustomed to with our other Linksys products, which held up over time. The Linksys was very easy to set up. It was connected and giving us access to the internet within ten minutes of bringing it into the house.

    My old Belkin router failed so was looking for a replacement. The salesperson was very helpful and I bought this model. My range almost doubled outside the house and download speeds are over 60 mps. Very satisfied.

    I live in an area crowded with wireless networks. I tested couple routers and chose Linksys 6900 because of the speed, link quality, easy to configure, friendly interface and reasonable price. Problem solved.

    Need to upgrade your router?

    It had been a few years so I upgraded our router to this model. I had a DLink. Nothing wrong with DLink. The Linksys router was in front of me when I was perusing, so I didn't look anymore. It was what I needed. Pretty easy to set up. We don't see a huge difference between the speeds. It may be because the signal has to go through a few walls! Connecting to the router is quite easy. The software provided is pretty helpful. I had only 20 devices to use on my old DLink. This one has more; I just don't know how many devices is the maximum. We just keep adding them and there's no end in sight. It is worth the money to upgrade to this model.

    After moving to a larger space, needed a dual band router. Setup easy and 5ghz reduces interference from other products using 2 range. Ugly but effective and well priced.

    I'm not sure I got the range I was hoping for, but it is better than I had and it was very simple to set up. The movable antennas make upstairs reception stronger.

    This router, I got on sale and it is totally worth it. Having the new AC wireless standard before it is mainstream is nice to be sure that i'm ready for the future. It works great with all of my other wireless N and G devices. Have had no slowdowns due to this router. It has great range and the speed is great. The configuration is a breeze and the menus are great too. The ability to control it through my phone is a plus. I would definitely recommend.
