    This router is perfect! I have had problems getting and staying online for years. However, since I set up the Linksys EA6900 AC1900 Dual-Band Smart Router, I have had no problems at all, even when streaming movies.

    I needed a new wireless router to help get the signal through the 1940 plaster walls of my condo. This router not only gets the signal through the walls, but also reaches outside. Now I can enjoy the sun and surft too!

    I'm bought this unit because my Internet was very slow during gaming. Also my household had a lot of different devices. This did the trick my problem was resolved. Great upgrade

    This was easy to set up and has worked great. I love it! I had bought a different brand, (not a cheap one) but it never worked properly. I'm glad I spent the few extra dollars - it is worth it. No problems anymore.

    Great range, far better than my old router

    The range is great, easily hits whole house and even my garage. The setup and router interface is very easy and intuitive. The only con I have noticed is on occasion my network speeds get slow. The data rate itself stays high but it takes a while for pages to respond, once they do it goes fine. I have bypassed the router and plugged straight to the modem and the problem goes away. But it is only intermittent so I took off only one star.

    It took only four or five steps to hook up and install this new router to my system. It increased WIFI responsiveness and speed and allowed better streaming on my system.

    I was going to buy a dual band router and wifi extender separately until the best buy associate asked me if I needed help. I explained what I was looking for and he suggested this product. Without going over the $200 range to the really expensive units this unit was on sale and he gave me feedback and suggested this unit. Great advice since this unit has done everything I need. We still find that he we are on 2 computers and cell phones in the same room that they are still a little slower than we would like but overall very happy with this unit and would highly suggest. Bonus was try and find it on sale.

    Great router. Solved signal strength issues such that the limiting signal was the cable company. Upon inquiry the cable company lowered cost per month by $50 per month and increased throughput by almost 10x.

    Several people recommended this Linksys router. I'm not a tech guy but I was able to get my home network up and running, without support, the first time. It does the job.

    The twc modem router we had wasn't making through our 3000 sq/ft house. No problems with this one. It reaches every corner and we have it set up in a corner on its own.

    Relaced Linksys wireless router purchased in 2012 - 3-4x download speed from 45-55 to 170-180. Easy install/connect. Also much better connection strength throughout the house to all mobile devices.

    It works great. Very fast and has a long range. It's in my living room and I can now use my iPad way out in my back yard, also I never have an issue with buffering when watching Netflix or Amazon Instant Video. This router is more expensive than the others but worth it. You get what you pay for. I cancelled cable tv so everything my husband and I watch is on the internet now. We can each watch a show in different rooms and never have a problem with it running slow. Love it!

    This router is far more superior than the one that the cable company issued me. Speed is excellent for anything you want to do. Salesperson was very helpful and knowledgeable about my needs.

    I bought this to replace my lousy Comcast Router. This has much more range and has the ability to handle many, many devices. I love the iPhone application also.

    finally installed router less than a week ago. Supposed to give me more power against the competitive wireless forces around me. So far i have still lost wifi service at least 2-3 times. have always been able to get it working again. It's not any faster- things are often still very slow. I should mention that i'm not a great techy and am looking for user-friendly products that work for me. PS- your survery requires me to say if i would rec this to a friend. Requires! how should i know at this point. i hate those required things when neither answers are correct for me!
