    The installation of the router is Super easy. It has Parental control features which is great when you have young kids and is easy to use. It is accessible through mobile device which is a huge plus. We have guest user sign on that allows 20+ guests to sign on.

      Hi,

      We appreciate the time you've spent in providing us with a product review. We'd like to take this chance to work with you and to gather more details so we can address this challenge. There's a possibility that there are interferences in your environment, limiting the router's capability. However, we can optimize the wireless settings so that the router would perform well as expected. We suggest changing the wireless channels on both networks. The recommended channels for the 2.4 GHz network are 1, 6, 9 and 11 since they are considered non-overlapping channels. For the 5 GHz network, channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 are recommended to less likely encounter interference. Should you need further assistance, feel free to send us an email at [email protected]. Don't forget to include your contact details, location, and the link to this review for our reference.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support

      Hi craneman,

      In setting up a strong signal from the router, it is recommended to place it on a higher location. Changing channels to 6,3,9 or 1 will also help in improving the wireless range from the router. However, we greatly appreciate the good rating for this router and we'd like you to know that you can always count on us. Feel free to email us at [email protected] for further assistance.

      Regards,

    Bought this dual band router to extend the wireless range. After installing, it did not work any better than my current, old router. Followed the instructions exactly, so I don't think it's in installation issue. Returned and bought an extender for much less money (and it works!).
