    This device has great range for wireless use in my clinic. Easy to set up manually (I didn't use the wizard) and guest network is easy to control.

    Have used Linksys routers for years, no problems. Easy router to set up. Had my old router 15 years. Needed new one to increase speed & security.

    The product was very good. It did exactly as it said and sped up our internet 100 fold, but I had a difficult time with set up. Otherwise very good, but a bit pricey.

    I procured 7 of these routers to support a UN exercise in Malaysia. The routers performed their job fairly well. We did have one router lock up during the exercise but a simple reboot was all it took to get it back on line. The only other comment would be that the signal strength through concrete is not very good (obviously). The 2.5 GHz was able to penetrate the concrete walls and extend an additional 10 to 12 feet into the room. Overall the devices performed as I had expected and met the needs of the exercise.

    It took me less than 30 minutes to install and setup security. I worked well and the speed test I ran on my cox network over the wifi showed a 60MB transfer.

    This router replaced my Linksys E2000. Easiest setup I've ever had. Love the app. I can check the network status anywhere. Roku, laptop and XBox 1 stream much faster. No more buffering problem with the Roku. Router is on the 2nd floor on the other side of the house. Can't beat the performance.

    This gives us a lot more speed than our old router. However, because of the lack of instructions on use we almost returned it. We researched on line how to get the best use if this unit. If you buy this unit place the rear side (where the antennas are) forward as if it were the front ( if you put it in another room point the back towards the door) and points the antennas about a 45 degree angle not straight up. Now it works great throughout our whole house. Customer support only wanted to sell us an add on product and was no help on how to place the unit.

    Overall a great router. Allows for multiple devices all the time as I have 2 game systems, wireless printer, multiple phones, tablets and computers that all use and rely on the network. The app is a nice feature for has limited useful functionality. Again overall very happy and pleased with this purchase. Also the sale man at Best Buy was very helpful and gave some points and things to think about when buying a router, didn't just push a certain brand or model. Enjoyed my experience.

    IMHO you can't do better than a Linksys Router. It has easy setup, easy access to customize and is one of the (if not the) fastest routers available.

    A novice should be able to set this up easily. I was thinking about getting an extender to go with the previous router because the signal strength was not good in some parts of our 2400 sf house. When the old router started acting up, I replaced it with this one, and I don't need an extender, signal strength is excellent in every corner I've tried. The unit has 3 antennae, and what worked best for me was to point the middle one straight up and put the other two at 45 degree angles to each side, like it shows in the picture. Just be sure they are snug when you screw them in.
