    Not sure if it's good, I would imagine it does what it needs to do. We were looking for a modem/router not a router.

    I set-up this router as an Access Point with a WRT1900AC and now have full-bar Wireless AC 5Ghz band coverage throughout the house. Highly recommended!

    Out of the box, installation was quick and simple. My wireless devices easily found and connected to the router at much improved speeds. Very good product.

    The only easy thing about this product was it plugged into the wall without any trouble. It would not linkup with two of my tv's and my printer. Lost power due to a storm and took two phone calls to cisco and a day and a half to get it to connect to my computer and tv.

    After installing, which went very well, the router became very erratic. It would drop out after being idle for a long period of time. This went on for two months before I had to returned it to Best Buy for exchange with a new competitive router. BB service was very helpful in switching the unit under the manufacturers warranty. New router is working reliably.

    In order to successfully install Chromecast, I needed to replace my old router. At the suggestion of the Linksys, I bought this dual router to improve the WiFi in my house. It wasn't cheap and even though I had to replace the Chromecast and the router, I was finally able to install the Chromecast. I don't notice much improvement to the strength of the WiFi in my house.
