When I switched from DSL to cable internet service, I needed a router that would efficiently serve the many wireless devices in my apartment (phones, tablets, laptops, printers, satellite receivers, etc.) without compromising the speed provided via cable. This Linksys AC1900 was reasonably priced, easy to install and set up, and dependable from the very start. It offers a host of features (security, flexibility, customization, etc.). I particularly like the speed test feature and the network map feature (the latter gives you a map identifying every device fed from the router). The only reason I gave it four stars is because I have on two occasions had to reset it due to an unexpected loss of service. I'm using the word reset, but I simply unplugged it and plugged it back in to solve the problem...this worked both times and the incidents happened several weeks apart, so I don't think it's a major issue. Aside from that, I absolutely love this thing. It's a very powerful router offering a wide range of features and its wireless footprint covers a significant amount of real estate. I pick up the first hints of a signal as I'm driving up to my parking spot in front of my apartment which is at least 100 feet from the routers location in my apartment...I can literally sit in my car outside and have a bar or two of signal strength!! I'd definitely recommend this router to anyone interested in replacing an old router or setting up a new system.

For years I haven't bought a WiFi router. When installing this routerit was everything recognized out of the box and the only tweaking I had to do was to rename the SSID and change the password. I started noticing an issue with the router right after the return/exchange policy was due. I have made contact with Linksys which promptly replaced my unit once all troubleshoot was made. Even though I had caught a defective unit, 5 stars are deserved here because buying a faulty units may happen with any customer -- a good customer service that will help you after the fact may not.

I have only ever owned Linksys wireless routers and have yet to be dissatisfied with the Linksys brand. This newest router is no exception. I was loosing my streaming video signal at first occasionally then it became more and more frequent to the point where something had to be done about it. The setup and install was easy and I'm far from being a technical person. Up and running in about 20 minutes. Strong signal even downstairs and at the other end of the house.
