Great Wi-Fi Router
|Posted .The Linksys EA6350-4A AC1200+ Dual-Band Smart Router purchased at Best Buy works great! I replaced a 4 year old dual-band router and immediately noticed much better range and speed. The "smart" interface is very easy to set up and use, on my laptop, phone and tablet.

2 Stars Off For Near Impossible Setup Page
Posted .Out of the box, connected it to my modem, and using the Quick Start Guide, I linked the router to my modem. After the flashing light went solid, the SSID was populated, and I entered the W-Fi Password from the sticker on the Guide. My browser opened up by itself, and there was like a "wizard" that popped up, where I could change the SSID to a unique name, and change the password. all done, then I got the “Your router was not successfully setup” message in the browser. 2 hours of following the suggestions on how to remedy this, I went into online chat, who answered very quickly. I was told to do the steps I had followed online (reset router, unplug caples, rtc). Nothing worked, and the rep sent me a transcript of our chat, with links to fixes. THEY WERE THE EXACT SAME LINKS I'D BEEN TO BEFORE I WENT TO CHAT. SIX hours later, I decided to both, stick a pin into the reset hole, while simultaneously holding the w-fi protected setup button. I refreshed the router setup page (192.168.1.1), and I was finally able to complete the information I had initially entered. I *believe* that's what got me going, as I had followed the instructions step-by-step, DOZENS OF TIMES. If the simultaneous pressing of the restart and setup buttons were mentioned, I didn't see it, or I just got lucky. In any event I was FINALLY able to complete access the WEB version of the router's "control center" as I had read that the default password for the Setup Page was "admin." You can control the router from a remote location, using the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi page. I'm not even sure, or care at this point. Some good news: I get BLAZING SPEEDS wirelessly- over 80 megs downstream. on my new laptop (of course, I don't need THAT much speed, but I guess gamers would). The router itself won't give you that speed, your modem does, just to be clear. It has 2 channels, 2.4Ghz & 5 Ghz. The "1200" after the AC (as in all AC routers) means the SUM total of the bandwidth of all the channels, 1200 Mbps=1.2 Gigabytes. You may want to do some research on this, as sales people I spoke to, clearly didn't know what the numbers meant, but, "you'll need it," while suggesting a higher end model. Now that I'm setup, I'm happy, but would only suggest this to someone with the caveats in mind. It's a known issue in the Linksys community forums. Buyer Beware.

Posted .Hi, SlimJim,
We have taken note of the feedback regarding the setup process as the Smart Setup of our Linksys Smart Wi-Fi routers should make the setup process smooth and seamless. Nonetheless, we're glad to know that the router is now working as expected.

What experts are saying
Q: Questionis this router compatible with Comcast xfinity
Asked by ben.
- A:Answer Yes, I have Xfinity also. But this is a ROUTER. Any router will work with any internet service as far as I know. Maybe you're thinking about the "CABLE MODEM"? That's the hardware you have to be concerned if it's compatible with your provider to have internet service. I have the Linksys CM3008 Cable Modem that's compatible with Xfinity. And I have this Linksys EA6350-4A AC1200+ Router for the WiFi and wired connection. Or you can get a combination Cable Modem/Router in 1. Call Xfinity and ask what combination Cable Modem/Router is compatible. Hope this helped

Q: QuestionI was just informed by Linksys that the EA6350 1200AC + must not be plugged into a power strip but must be plugged into the wall directly. The documentation has no mention of this during setup. Is this true? I never heard of this?
Asked by jpmalonesr.
- A:Answer Hi, jpmalonesr. You can plug the EA6350 router (and all our home routers) into power strips given that the strip supports 110V to 220V of power.

Q: QuestionIs there a setting to extend the range?There are a few blind spots only 50 feet away. Otherwise the router works great.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I got a WiFi range extender for 40 bucks put it at the 50-75% strength region and it fixed my range issues, only thing that sucks is that you have to buy something else.
