    The standard Fios router (located on the top floor) did not supply our three floor townhouse; this Linksys - SMART Wi-Fi Dual-Band Wireless-AC Router with 4-Port Ethernet Switch enables us to use the laptop on any floor. However, additional help is needed to keep the laptop from jumping from the original network to the new one; and the printer does not want to be connected.

      Hi Wali,

      We want to thank you for sharing your feedback on the Linksys router. Wireless interference, physical obstruction, distance, and wireless settings, these are some of the reasons for a weak/slow wireless connection. You may want to relocate the router and minimize physical obstruction. Adjusting the router's wireless channel will also help improve the connection. For the 2.4 GHz, use channel 1, 6, or 11.

      Feel free to reach us at [email protected] should you need help with your network. Our Support team would be glad to hear from you.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support

    This is my second router of the same kind in less than one year. While both worked, the first one died in 6 months...just stopped Working for no apparent reason. Technical support through Cisco cost a fort une only to tell me I needed a new router!
