    I attached this wireless router to my cable modem. The cable modem had wireless integrated, but I found it to be very spotty and would disconnect for no reason (just the wireless). I need a router to handle up to 8 devices wirelessly at any time. Additionally for my ps4 gaming and Netflix. This router has been fantastic. I haven't had one interruption with the devices. I'm very happy with this as with the cable modems wireless, I would lose connectivity almost daily.

    Better than my 8 yr old router, but doesnt meet expectations given its cost and capability. It has difficulty penetrating walls in my 3000 sf house and I have called service twice. Is better now, but still not great... but is better at streaming video than old router. Am still learning to fine tune it so will wait for final verdict. Meanwhile would not recommend to friend due to its higher cost.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi Darin,

      Your feedback is highly appreciated and thank you for your time in sharing it. Adjusting the 5 GHz wireless channel is a good move to avoid possible interference in your network. Use the Wi-Fi analyzer app. It helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.

      Should you need further assistance, please send us an email at [email protected]. Include your contact details, location, and the link to this review for reference.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support
