    This Linksys Router is the best Router I've ever owned. It's easy to setup, provides quick wifi speeds across all wifi streaming devices (15-20 in the home) and allows for an external USB drive to readily be accessible and play full movies without interruption.

    Needed a new router to replace a very capable, but old and slow one I had for 5 years or more. My old router did just fine when Comcast only offered connect speeds less than 20mbps. They had bumped me up to 75mbps at no charge almost a year ago or maybe more. Consistently was only getting 20mbps download. I had bought my own high speed modem, so i knew that was not the issue. Had techs out to troubleshoot and still no change. Finally read online that it was likely my old router. Sure enough, hooked up the new one and in 5 min was achieving download speeds up to 85mbps. Wireless is also extremely fast on all our Kindle and Samsung tablets. Has a neat app to access and tweak settings. Highly recommended!

    This is the best router I have ever owned, period, speed is crazy and very stable with the latest firmware, I have owned the router for over a month so far and the more I use it the more I like it, really I have no complaints about this device. At times both my parents and I have been streaming 1080p movies, while guests at home have been streaming Netflix and I was uploading another 1080p movie to YouTube, this little monster have managed to serve all that without a single hiccup, I do not regret the $200 plus I spent on this router, I'm very pleased, would recommend to anyone.

    I bought this for work to blast wifi through out a 50000 square foot warehouse. Man this thing kicks butt. Very powerful and easy to set up. I have had no issues with this router at all. If you need to cover a large area or a big house check this out.

    This router was super easy to set up. There are options for both 2.4ghz or 5.0ghz, you can create a guest network and then boot all the kids off during a family-get-together. I have yet to set up a network storage but it does have options for this.

    Read the review and watch the video on cnet. We where not getting 100mg that our provider provides. Upgraded to this route and voila, speed test shows 100mg. The best thing is the range. I live on 2 acres and I can get the signal anywhere on my land.

    So far I am very pleased with this router. I am upgrading from technology from ~5 years ago. The range and signal strength across my house has improved which is what I was looking for! Setup is a piece of cake and can be done with in minutes.

    I got this originally to extend the wireless access in my house to get better service to my PS4. I upgraded from a Linksys e1200, which served me well for several years. The new upgrade did provide some extended coverage, and also the access to dual band was nice. I also noticed a slight up-tick in speed through my wireless connections as well with all my devices. I also like the interface on the web, it is very descriptive, informative, and powerful. My complaint is that the range wasn't extended as far as I thought it was going to. This is probably just because I had higher expectations than the routers capabilities, which I attribute to the reviews and marketing. It's not much of an issue for me since I get range to what I needed, just not as far as I desired. TLDR: Great router, range not as far as expected, but still good.

      We're happy to hear that you got what needed with this router. As for the range, there are ways to optimize it. Aside from tweaking the wireless channel, try our recommended antenna position on this article: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=138847

    Excellent Upgrade For Home Use

    Superb performance on 2.4 and 5GHz bands. Simple guided setup. The separate networks and device/website prioritization allows basic establishment of QoS for home office vs. family use. Parental controls a plus for curtailing late-night use by teens who have a hard time prioritizing sleep over "staying connected." Only downside is my MBPro has a hard time remembering 5GHz password.

      Hi SOHO1976,

      The time you've spent in writing this review is greatly appreciated. We appreciate the good points that you've seen on the router. This device is one of our top of the line routers and we put a great deal of focus on this device. However. we'd like to address the challenge that you're having with the MacBook Pro. Do you have the option to check the pop-up box to remember its Wi-Fi password? By the way, are you experiencing the same setback on a 2.4 GHz connection? You may send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.

      We'll be waiting for your response.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support

    I needed the range and now I have it! Set up was frustrating and I will likely have to do a manufacturer reset and reinstall in order to personalize. Range and speed are great, but I am not yet able to take advantage of all it has to offer!

      Hi, Robin,

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We're glad to learn that the range and speed of your router are both working great, however, we're a bit puzzled on your setup experience which you found frustrating. As you know, setting up the Linksys WRT1900ACS is made fast and easy because of its CD-less setup. Now you can run the setup from a web browser even if the router does not initially have an Internet connection and is on factory settings. During this setup and installation process, you will be prompted to personalize the settings for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks, depending on your choice. There is also an option to manually set up the unit and log in straight into the web-based setup page.

      As a product overview, the Linksys WRT1900AC AC1900 Dual-Band Smart Wi-Fi Wireless Router is a simultaneous dual-band 4x4 Gigabit router with USB/eSATA ports that supports a maximum of 600 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and up to 1.3 Gbps on the 5 GHz band. It comes with four (4) high-performance external antennas for enhanced dual-band communication, maximum signal strength, better coverage, and range.

      Should you have questions, or should you need assistance in the future, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. Please indicate your contact information and the link to this review for reference.

      We'd be more than willing to help you out.

    Not too sure what else I could ask for. The range covers more than my 2000ft multi-level townhome and the speeds are fantastic over wireless. Set up was easy and there's even an application for my phone to manage my network remotely.
