    The latest in the ever changing world if wireless standards (now on AC) and it does seem to perform as advertised. A little pricey though.

    This router was easy to install, came in a timely manner, and I read other reviews before purchasing. The wireless speed is much improved and I have not been able to test the range. It is working great within the house.

    Once you get past the price, everything else is easy. Setup is a snap, being highly automated, but help is available. Whatever your needs are, this router can handle it.

    Set it up easily for our business, and it allows me to monitor who is connected via the mobile app. Can also restart it via the mobile app which as come in handy when I'm not near by as family is a little tech challenged.

    We were struggling with our old router, as we'd lose the wifi connection throughout various parts of the house. This Linksys router provides us great connection throughout our 2550 sq.ft. home. We've had up to 8 devices running at one time without any problems.

    The setup is great and easy. One of the great features is the mobile network status you can set up to see what devises are online and how much bandwidth they are using. Awesome product that fits all of my needs.

    Router works great once I got it up and running. Their 3 step process is a failure and a call to Linksys support was as usefull as a call to my Nona. Good choice only if you are comfortable with manual configuration.

    This router was purchased since our last one didn't cover enough area of our house. This one definitely does the job. It has 3 levels: 2 GHz, 5 GHz and also a "guest" option. This works out great when company needs wifi- they don't need my password!
