The ultimate network bandwidth router / switch!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being 20+ years as a IT & Telco consultant.. it is great to find an "over the counter" wireless dual band router/switch combo that rivals what I reccomend in hardware to much larger organizations who live and die on mission critical equipment. While being easy for just about any home user to install and use, this unit also has all of the "hands on" control features that an experienced IT tech will use and appreciate!

Great for maximizing fast Internet speeds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the Comcast 105 Internet and consistently got slow speeds once I bought this wireless ac router, I'm now getting my contracted speeds with no slowdown regardless of how many devices I have connected.

Not really an upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to trade in my old LinkSys router because I couldn't use it to get our new TV connected for Netflix, etc. Switching up from my old rock-solid LinkSys router to this new LinkSys router seemed like an easy choice. Installation went pretty well, and I got the new TV connected. My family can now watch Netflix from our family room. Downside - My printer, which sits about 10 feet from the router, has lots ot trouble getting connected. Rebooting it a couple of times usually works. Sometimes, the only thing I can do is reboot the router. Our phones connect easily enough, but occasionally drop the connection so we don't know we're using cellular data. And quite often, if I reboot the router, the phones do not automatically reconnect (they reconnect fine if we leave the house and come back) and we have to go into the Wi-Fi settings (Android and iPhones) to turn wireless off and back on again to reconnect. Problem with the router? I assume so, because we never had these problems with the old LinkSys. But life with two kids being what it is, I didn't get an opportunity to bring it back for an exchange until the 30 days ran out. But, hey - we can watch Netflix in the family room now, so it's not all bad.

Posted .Hi JoeJ,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Linksys EA6900. It's possible that there's an interfering wireless signal in the area that affects your wireless connection. We recommend that you adjust the router's wireless channel to avoid wireless interference and improve the wireless connection. Change the 2.4GHz wireless channel to 6, 9, 11, or 1. With the 5GHz band, use 161 or 157.
Allow us to assist you further. Send us an email at [email protected] indicating your contact details, reviewer name, and the link to this review. We hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,

Reliable product. Performs as indicated.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Linksys is a reliable product. This is the second unit I have purchased with more features. The other Linksys wireless router lasted 3 years which is a little above average for this type of product.

Problems, probably due to my TimeWarner Cable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this unit, Linksys said it was defective, bought another Linksys router and having similar issues. Not sure why, but I'm willing to bet it's more to do with Time Warner than the router!
