Excellent value if you need better signal

Posted .Hi, Tloce,
Your feedback is of great value, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Unstable Internet connection using this router is very unusual. Allow us to make this right for you. To achieve stable internet connection, we need to reflash the firmware of your router using a wired PC, followed by doing a factory reset and reconfiguration. We can also modify the channels for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks for a maximum Wi-Fi performance. Should you need further assistance, email us the details at [email protected] along with your contact information and the link to this post for reference. We would be more than willing to lend a hand.
Regards,
Linksys Support

The wireless N seems to not perform as expected.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wireless N has issues it will show as connected but nothing connects. I change my device to G and works fine. Reboot the router and it will start working on the N network again until next time you sign in. Not sure what the deal is. The parental controls are easy to use and I like how I can set limits for my children. The antennas seem to give it real good range as this is why I bought this in the first place. Price seemed a little high but I needed to get better range to reach my office. This is a good device and the wireless N problem may just be my slow dsl I'm not sure but will investigate further. I do recommend overall.

Some issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up and it has some useful features, but I've only had it for month and its needed to be reset twice now. My older cheaper router required resetting maybe twice the whole year! I've also noticed drastically reduced download speeds (2 and 3 Mbps) periodically. Not sure why this is happening. Other than those things its been working good.

Posted .Hi jabdlp,
Thank you for sharing us your experience with the Linksys device. Some interference or conflict on your network could be causing the challenges. We suggest that to do further isolation. Simply check the connection behind the modem. You may perform a speed test. Once done, do the same thing when connected directly to the router and compare the results. By the way, does this occur on wired or wireless connection? Or both?
If you're experiencing this on the wireless connection, adjusting the wireless channel will help in resolving this matter. Also, if you have not prioritized any of the connected devices make sure that the Media Prioritization is off.
Here are some links that might help:

Seems to be working as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was not hard to set up. Linked in our printer. Can't seem to hook up one of our laptops, but I think that has more to do with the laptop.

Posted .Hi Maryqute,
We appreciate your transparency in providing us an idea about your situation. We're also glad to hear that other devices are working fine. The laptop which was unable to connect might lack wireless adapter updates. However, the could be other reasons for that as well. What's the Operating System if the laptop that's not working? You may check this article about connecting to a wireless network: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=32036bdcd9dd44ec94f94fc5f6da666f_Connecting_wireless_computers_to_your_network.xml&pid=80&respid=0&snid=2&dispid=0&cpage=search
There is also an alternative method depending on the features of the laptop that's trying to connect.

Good Wireless Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good wireless router, but expected more for the price. Tried to upgrade my old router so it would reach my TV from the basement. Ended up having to move the router instead.

Has a few issues with multiple devices connect.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think it's not as good as what it says. I know that I wish it did better than what it does when multiple people are hooked up it slows down or stops the connection.

Was broken right out of the box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Usually Linksys is a great brand, but this router was broken right when it came out of the box. Of course, Best Buy refunded my money right away, but I was disappointed.
