    very good router. i signed up with spectrum and of course they try to make you rent a router for 10 dollars a month. i saw this router on sale and will end up saving a lot of money and it works just as well.

    I recently bought this for my son's apartment. I couldn't be happier with the results. This router has exceeded my expectations in terms of speed, coverage, and ease of use. My son streams his PS5 Games over the network and downloads updates easily

    I didn't want to upgrade to wifi 6, but there are so many devices in the house, it fried my old wifi box. I've been using another brand link and I gotta say Linksys gives me more control as if I own the router. The other brand had me feeling like a guest on my own wifi admin set-up. I gave it four stars because of how quickly we saw the speed drop. This might not be a problem with the router, it is likely a problem with my ISP. They probably weren't happy. I pay for 100mbps speed, but I use to only get like 50-90 Mbps. I went to fast dot com to check the speed of this thing and it topped out at 236mbps. Nothing I haven't seen before, but haven't seen so in a long time. If you're getting introduced to the wifi six system, this is a good starter pack. I haven't tried it yet but Mesh Wifi seems to have a whole other technology I haven't even learned about. I'm guessing it's adding what's called nodes to increase the speed in difficult places.

    I haven't had it long admittedly so ill adjust the review if necessary but so far I am impressed. My house isn't very big, about 1300 square feet so take that into consideration but I am getting a strong signal throughout with better speeds then the hyped up Amplifi Alien which I spent over 400 on (thankfully I was in the return window) posted a screen shot of my speed test. I have gigabit fiber.

    A very good router for apartments

    I bought this router during my Summer vacation before going back to college, as I was moving out of the dorm buildings and into an apartment, and needed a router for an internet connection. I specifically chose this one due to it's ability to host a local file server by plugging a USB storage device into its rear USB port, and that feature works quite well, allowing me to store photos, videos, music, and documents on a local server. The speed on this router is perfectly fine, as it was able to max out my 150 MbPS speeds from Xfinity. The only problem with this router, and the reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5, is that it needs restarted on a weekly basis. Despite that though, I would absolutely recommend purchasing this.

    So far , so great . The linksy router has been extremely reliable ; staying up while my dorm mates internet went out. The set up was simple and it even has a gui set up for easy network management. I've recommended it to my friends at work and school.

    Great router! Easy set up, easy navigation and you can pretty much do everything from your cell phone via blutooth. I replaced my modem and router to compensate for the lack of speed I was paying for. The only difficulty I had was trying to get xfinity (comcast) to tell me how to change off of their gateway to connect to my home network to use their flex boxes. Which they claimed wasn't possible (but is!) Connect to their gateway router via cable, turn on bridge mode and just login with your new router.

    I need to replace my router because it’s 8 years old already and need a new one because of the virtual setting for my 2 kids and I would say I made the right choice. I have 2 computers, 1 smart tv and 3 phone using the internet at the same time and never I had any interruptions. Thank u to the Cerritos branch sales rep help me figure out the right router for my family.

    What a great device. The router that came with our spectrum service was garbage. It had to be returned 2 times to spectrum. Bought this one and not only problem solved, but increased speed with no downtime.

    Cool buy - good value for wifi 6

    Easy installation. Cool to have a router with wifi 6 especially at this price. No more dropouts or inexplicable "outages" like the last router we bought 5 months ago from a different brand. Linksys for the win. App is pretty snazzy but the range isn't as far as I'd like but it seems to cover our 1900sqft house fine. I would not consider myself a super techy but the app has all the features and ease of use I wanted (guest access, device visibility, ease of installation, etc). Looks cool too? IDK. I'm just happy to not have to reset the dang thing 3x a day like the last router we HAD JUST BOUGHT.
