    This router was the simplest one to set up I have done. Clear instructions and online step by step help. Really like the "guest" wifi on both bands too. Great job Linksys!

    I've owned several Linksys routers/wireless-access-points/firewalls. The run great and are easy to install. The only reason I replace them is because a newer faster model comes available.

    I bought this to replace my old Cisco router $90 my Cisco was awesome on this price range and I was convinced about the review of this unit and I thought it would boost my experience to the higher level of wifi connection and signal strength cause the review are great plus is freaking expensive and the features are very advance the dual active band is good the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz but on my experience the 5Ghz is not working on my 2016 Sony Bravia 4K it keeps disconnecting so end using the 2.4 GHZ band instead. My iPad , tab, android phone, iPhone are now running the 2.4 Ghz cause it keep disconnecting or asking password to connect so frustrating and useless this function. The signal are not good I'm just 100 feet away from the router I don't have the full signal, just half the signal bar. This unit is expensive $200 and it does not provide you the features as advertised - useless unit. If I have a chance I will return this unit but it when beyond return date cause I was so busy. I will Not buy this product.

      Hi, Marn,

      Your feedback is of great value, and this is clearly not the experience we wanted you to have with our Linksys EA6900 router. We understand how you feel, and we would like to take this chance to make it up to you. To improve the performance of your device, we need to perform a firmware reflash using a wired PC, followed by doing a factory reset and manual reconfiguration. And to achieve maximum wireless coverage, we need to modify the channels for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. For the 2.4 GHz wireless network, we suggest to try channels 1, 6 and 11, and channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 for the 5 GHz. If this doesn't work, let us know so we can assist you accordingly. 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 help you out.

      We look forward to assist you.

      Regards,

    Good Router but I still get less network bars in my laptop, but definitely have less drop connections. So not sure if it really has a great wide range.

    I replaced $49 Linksys wireless router that was 6 years old with this model, and I could not be more disappointed. The wireless range is much worse than the other product, it has intermittent fall outs of coverage, and I am 15' from it. BB recommended the wireless extender, also by Linkysis and there is no improvement. $250 in products, and I am worse off.

      Hi TRVW,

      Thank you for informing us about your experience with the Linksys router. We totally understand how you feel. Please give us the chance to improve it. To enhance the wireless range, it is recommended to have a different network names for the two frequencies (2.4GHz and 5GHz). You can also adjust the wireless channels. You can try using the channels 6,3,9 or 1. This is for you to avoid interference.

      In case you need further help, you may send us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review.

      Regards,

    This router is different from other routers due to the adjustable antennas. The router is extremely strong and very stable.

    When the old Linksys router started dropping the wireless signal after seven years, it was time for a new one, and I caught it on sale. Good deal and no problems!

    I needed to get a faster router that had more coverage and I shopped around for what was needed. Linksys had what I needed and Best Buy had it in the store.
