Not bad
Spectrum’s new “smart router” that switches the band from 2G to 5G was a pain... I spent last couple months calling and visiting their local site over dozens of times, and in the end, the technician recommended buying my own router. My home is little over 2000 sqft, two story, and this router covers most of spaces! It overs 4 ring camera, 4+ phones, and computer, tv, tablet, and etc. No lagging or disconnection so far. Set up was quick and easy cuz I already had my modem connected. The router is located in the second floor, and still covers most of the house. Overall, very satisfied with $200 spent.

Exactly what I needed!
I was on the market for a WiFi router because my old router was outdated and would crash ever so often. I am not a super tech savvy guy. I knew I needed a good router but aside from that I knew nothing. After reading multiple reviews on routers and watching a video Best Buy made discussing the topic, I decided to go middle of the road. I didn’t want the cheapest router I could find, but I really didn’t want to spend $200 either! I have a 1400 sq foot single story house with a 1000 sq foot basement. I placed this router in the basement where my cable tv runs into the house and was pleasantly surprised I didn’t require a WiFi extender for any part of the house! What I like about the router is the range of the WiFi, it easily handles my household devices with zero buffering. I have 8 devices connected to it, one being my sons xbox one. I can stream Netflix on 2 devices while my son is gaming online and I have literally no latency. Other things I love is the app that Linksys has for the router. I can control every perimeter of the router with this app, best of all I can control every device and the connectivity to the router. Basically I add limits to devices my kids use and I can pause internet access at anytime. Would I buy this again? Absolutely! Would I recommend this product? In a heartbeat!

Does The Job
I bought this on sale for $99 to replace a Verizon router that cost me $15 per month. In six months it will have paid for itself. It works well, although I still need a booster for TVs on the far end of my house. Set up fairly simple. I spent almost five hours resetting the passwords on all of my devices, but that was my inexperience, since I could have avoided the issue by using the same user name and password as the Verizon router. I need to do some research to learn how to reset the router from “Mixed” to 2Hz. That would be easy if the router came with a manual, but it doesn’t. Overall I’m s satisfied with this purchase .

Awesome Router!
I had a NETGEAR AC1795 it keeps crashing so we Decided to upgrade to Linksys AC2200. The set was easy it only took about 15min right away we notice the improvement Internet speed we have around 10-15 devices connected It handled all it all like a CHAMP! My wife and I are both working from home & our daughter is doing home school & streaming video & gaming and it didn’t crash not even once with the old router we had to reset about 3 times daily so I would Recommend this router to anyone. GREAT PRODUCT LINKSYS!
