    Since I installed this router I have noticed better internet availability throughout the house on almost all of our devices. The speed of downloads is great. It still gets bogged down when there are several people using their own devices at once however. Is that our provider or the router? I have no way of knowing. I wish the set up pages were in layman's terms rather that acronyms that few understand. I have no way of knowing if I am using optimal settings for my situation.

    This router provides a very fast wireless connection once the settings are optimized. Would definitely call customer support to have them walk you through optimal settings. The biggest issue faced after getting the settings optimized is maintaining a consistent strong connection to an XBox 360 on the other side of the house in the basement. Connection to IPADs in the same room as the XBox are fine.

    I bought this router so that it could enable me to utilize my laptop throughout my 3000sf home which it does without distortion. There were more expensive ones out there but this one ended up being perfect.

    Got it as a deal of the day. My old router couldn't keep up with all the products we currently have so based on reviews and recommendation from Best Buy employee I tried it out. Works great and no problem keeping up with everything.

    Purchased this router after my 4500 died all at once a few weeks ago. The coverage for my 3 story Brownstone is exceptional. I have lost the router signal twice since initial set up because of multiple devices needing access at once. Wanted to split some but found it a little complicated to get all to work perfectly. I reconnected my range extender and separated that way and now I am good to go. Although I don't use all of the features yet these Linksys devices are exceptional routers.

    I am a realtor that works primarily from home. We have multiple devices connected to our network. This router was easy to set up (I am not a techie) and functions quite well from every level of our home. Guest network function a plus.

    Replaced my older router with this one as it now incorporates 3 antennas for greater coverage. Based on first two months of use it is everything I thought it would be, good signal strength to far end of my house where my office is.

    Very easy set-up. Pretty much just assemble the three antennas and plug into the port. Instructions were easy to follow from that point on and it was easy to create my own password. Also it was easy to set-up a guest connection.

    I needed to upgrade my 10 year old router when I purchased new 65" UHD 4K, receiver and BluRay. I didn't know I needed this until Geek Squad installed everything. It has worked well and speeded up the Internet to all my devices.

    We were very tired on streaming on our TV and having to wait while the movie stopped usually once every ten minutes or less. Now we stream movies off Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, and others and it doesn't stop at all! Love it! Works Great!

    Great product. Little pricey but well worth it. I live in a 1920s house with lathe and plaster. Wifi wouldn't extend from one room to the next much less the opposite side of the house. This solved the problem. Easy set up. Love it

    so glad the sales rep. convinced me to buy this. i came in for a wireless booster and was told that that signal actually is reduced with boosters so she recommended i upgrade my router to get a strong signal throughout the house.

    Purchased this router to be able turn off internet access to teenager's phone and computer during the night. The parental controls to do this are very easy to use and can be set up unique to each device. Like the 'Guest' network which can be turned on only when needed. This router has better coverage in my house than any other router I have owned, but still have a some dead zones. Speed is great. Installation is quick and simple.

      Hi PCMom,

      Thank you for the 5 stars rating! We are glad that you've got the router working and enjoying its features. To get a better connection on some other parts of your house, we'd suggest that you adjust the wireless channel and make sure that the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz networks have different network names.

      This link will help you optimize your wireless settings:

    I must start off by saying.. I think this router is better than the Nighthawk X4 AC2350. This Linksys will work in my home with no problem. The X4 wouldn't work more than 25ft away from the router, This Linksys is a must buy!

    I had Linksys and cisco router in the past, but none of them were as easy to setup and use as this one. The online interface for user permission and external hard drive connection was straight forward and easy for even a novice.

    This Is Why I Stick With Linksys

    My previous wireless router was also a Linksys. It lasted much longer than a typical wireless router and was very easy to administer. So when my old router died I went to Best Buy to compare products. My wife and I went over the specs of every wireless router with a fine-toothed comb. When it comes to speed, this router is a screamer. When I set it up, my house was back in business in no time. On any particular day I might have 5 or 6 laptops and a desktop logged in. Never a slow down or a log jam.
