Night and day on my wifi with this. Will never use an Internet companies router again. I've got over 10 items connected and this router doesn't even blink an eye. You can connect to either 2.4ghz or 5 for faster speeds depending on what you have which is perfect for either streaming movies or just something small that doesn't need that much bandwidth. I can receive WiFi anywhere in my house now. Would def buy another or recommend it to others. Easy setup also and you can rename items that connect so you can keep track of what's connected.

This was plug and play, extremely fast. This is used in a business setting and takes on the heavy work load. Great product. I have no complaints on this unit. It's my experience to spend a little extra on a quality router and not go cheap.

I had company provided wireless hub and it barely made it through my house. Now, I get my internet as I pull up the drive. Speed improved and handles multiple devices without blinking an eye. Improved our families overall internet experience.

I was having trouble getting wifi throughout my home. The Best Buy associate recommended this product and I have been very happy with it. Setup was quick and easy and I now have strong wifi signal throughout my 3000 square foot home.

I'm impressed with the speed of this router. Fast, solid connections and have not had any problems at all. The wireless range is way better than the Linksys EA6900 that it replaced. Super easy setup. This is the router to buy.

I installed this router into a doctors office in order to increase wifi signal strength, as well as improve overall performance. The software is incredibly easy to use and I was most impressed with how well it handles remote desktop. It definitely reaches AC speed and I was able to get this on sale. It is one of the better pro-sumer models on the market. If you have a small home office or large house, I highly recommend this.

I'm not a tech person but when I asked the sales associate which router I needed for 10-15 devices on a 3000 sq ft house they recommended this one. I couldn't be happier. I get top speeds in every corner of my house. My previous router was a N600 and this one blows that one away. I don't use many of the features except the priority device list to ensure my cell and my tv get first crack at the bandwidth before my kids eat it all up.

I needed a router that would provide a strong signal in the upstairs part of the house, as my streaming experience was unsatisfactory up there, even with a wireless extender. The Linksys router improved the signal, but not as much as I had hoped. I still suffer through occasional buffering sessions. I expected more from this expensive router.

Hi Applegeezer,
We appreciate the time you spent in sharing your experience with us. Here are the possible solutions that you may do:
• Position the router away from windows, thick walls, and move it to the floor where you're most likely to use Wi-Fi. • Adjust the router’s wireless channel to avoid possible interference in your network. Use the Wi-Fi analyzer app. It helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router. • Update or re-flash the firmware.
If the connection will not improve, you can send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review for reference.
Regards,
Linksys Support http://www.linksys.com

The new Linksys is easy, fast, dummy proof (me lol) and secure. The new remote access feature from any web browser is GENIUS and great for trouble shooting from afar or restricting access.

This router installed easily and works well. It is fast. The software is easy to use. In my setting, it does not have the range that the packaging would imply. I had to keep my extender It has been reliable over the past month. My previous Linksys router only lasted a couple of months past the warranty and needed frequent restarts in its last four months. I hope this one does much better.

I placed this router in the center of my home and I have great coverage and speed even from the street. With all the neighbors' WiFi's (must be 20 or 25), I was lucky if my old router could even hit my driveway. Streaming between devices is fast.
The remote management of Linksys smart WiFi's has already been helpful for a second router at my business, saving a drive in for simple troubleshooting.

This was recommended by a Best Buy employee when I said I have a two story house and the WiFi kept dropping on the second floor opposite where our previous router was. When I download podcasts or stream video, the buffering time is noticeably shorter. Multiple frequencies (2.4 and 5 Ghz) is also a nice feature. Easy to setup, worth the higher price tag if you have a lot of devices on at one time.

Wanted a good router to give me better coverage for all my devices. I was replacing a single band router that worked OK. This router fit the bill and I have not been disappointed. I get twice the coverage and great speed. It was easy to setup and provides me everything I wanted in a router. 13+ devices connected and see no sped issues. Dual band and device map are real nice features.

Bought this because I have 2 gamer sons who are online all the time. And I frequently work from home, so to have the connection drop while working is not good. Now with us in the digital age, it's not uncommon to have multiple devices hooked into the wifi. We had the Comcast technicolor 8305 router/wifi set up previously. It worked if there were only 2 people online at the same time. Anymore than that, it would drop or become incredibly laggy. Now after having disconnected the wifi from the Comcast unit and hooking it up to this one...wow!! It's fantastic! No lagging, no dropping. We love it!

I think I've used just about every router bestbuy sells and I was starting lose faith in linksys. Linksys was _the_ router many years ago. Even today that model is good enough. The newer stuff since Cisco is average but many times not up to par. This model however meets and even exceeds my expectations of a router in its class. I am very happy with this model. The comparable netgear model does about as well as this but I am happy to have my Linksys back.
