Works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this router since my uncle is an IT guy. Works great. Still holds strength thru 8 walls (2 being a tiled shower wall) and about 80' but it drops from 3 to 2 bars.

Great overall, setup could be easier
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great router overall, fastest connections, great range. My only complaint is that they try and force you to use their web based setup. It's a little strange that you have to use the internet to set up your connection to the internet, ha ha. I was using it for work to connect local devices off of the internet. Finding the built in menu without using the internet based solution was a little frustrating. Once I found it things went smoothly.

Great Wifi router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a novice setting up a home wifi. this product was easy to use and it's installation steps were intuitive and helpful. It came loaded with a suggested network name, but easily allowed personalization. It also provided a guest network which I didn't have before, but like the idea to limit access to the home network. It's reach is better than my previous device, but still not quite what I expected from this expensive, high-end device.

Router great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Router was fairly easy to install and works great. Can connect anywhere in house. We replaced an old wireless G router so internet speed improved (now get slightly more than the 50 mps download speed internet provider states). WebSite for changing password could be easier though. Got router on sale, which made things even better.

So easy to set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had put off getting a new router because of the learning curve to set up a new router. I set this up with no problems. I still need to figure out how to store information on an external USB type drive so I can store and access files while traveling. I set the router is to allow me to do that. I did check and I can log into my router from the Internet. And I get great reception thoughout my house with little loss of speed. With my old router I lost almost 50% compared to a direct connection. I love it.

Linksys Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this router in hopes of being able to stream Netflix in my den, which is some distance and a floor away from the router site. And it does work better than my previous router for that- a lot less buffering during shows. The dual band feature is a complete waste for me since the 5Gh band was too weak to work with any of my devices, even when they were near the router. It was difficult to set up, perhaps because every time I reset it it took forever to start working again, which I didn't realize until I had experienced a great deal of frustration. It never would work with my 4 year old desktop computer, so I ended up buying a long ethernet cable and hard-wiring that computer to the router. Once or twice a week a number of my devices get disconnected from it and I have to reenter the password to get them reconnected. And now one of the network experts I work with tells me that this router has a security issue with a port that was left open for support reasons, leaving it vulnerable to attack. I doubt that any of my neighbors have the expertise to do something like that, so I'm not doing any of the firmware changes (which would void the warranty) recommended by my coworker. Overall I'm happy with the router since all my computers, phones, and TV perform better, when I can keep them connected.

Awesome for large home with lots of devices!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reason for getting this router was due to lag issues with an older, different brand. We have added several devices and have no issues with connecting or losing signal. Blu-ray wifi player, Directv, Playstation, WIFI printer, 4 laptops, 5 ipods/phones, KIndle Fire. Also, easy to setup and already has guest network programmed and password.

In Store Defective Products
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I Am A LinkSys Fan. I Purchased A LinkSys Router From Best Buy And It Did Not Work. Exchanged For A Second LinkSys Router And That Did Not Work Either. Worked Directly With LinkSys Tech Who Verified That My Modem Was Working And Their Router Was Not. I Returned The Second To Best Buy. I Ordered The Same Router Directly From LinkSys. It Arrived In 4 Days And Was Up And Running In Less Than 10 Minutes. Great Product. Not Sure Why Best Buy Had Defective Products. I Wasted A Over A Week Trying To Get Them Set Up.
