    This router has been awesome for a family of 7 plus the occasional 20 kids that randomly stop by and have our wifi password. Connects many devices, no problem. (We have 5 laptops/macs, multiple tables, phones and iDevices.) Has a fairly large signal area - we can connect outside. You can rock the parental controls and permissions and actually set up a guest account so that the guests do not kick you off when there are so many of them.

    I was previously using my cable's dvr box wireless antenna for my network, and it was beyond awful. With a 30 MB down service, all of my wireless peripherals were receiving 50kb/s or worse. I've had previous experience with the product line of Linksys, so it was an easy choice for me to try out this model. With the external antennas, all of my wireless connections hit 27MB or better. Well worth the investment!

    I bought this model after going through 2 other netgear nighthawks. Both of the nighthawks apparently had a malfunction from the manufacturer because after being on the phone with netgear for an hour each one didn't perform as it should have. I bought this linksys and it was over $100 cheaper and out performed the nighthawk. Granted, it could have been the 2 nighthawk I bought had both been messed up but no one has the time to go back and forth trading these things out. I am more than pleased with the linksys.

    I replaced a 5 year old Linksis router following the purchase of my first smart TV. I am able to stream videos wireless to my TV and smart phone. I do have the router in the same room within 15 ft of the TV. I am also able to reach an old WII console 30 ft away through 2 walls on the 2.4 GHz.. Occasionally it does run a bit warm, but not too warm to touch. The router was extremely easy to setup. I am please with my decision to stick with Linksis.

    Powerful Wireless Router

    This Linksys Wireless Router is very heavy duty, and after having a severely slow connection with streaming with my previous router, this is a much needed upgrade. Works well with quite a few devices working simultaneously, and definitely improved the speed at which videos loaded (no more buffering [yay] well a lot less); however, I bought with the intent that my previous router was what was causing 'hiccups' in my connection and this fixed it for a couple weeks and now the problem is back. -_-

    After my older Dlink router would not connect to the system in my apartment I purchased the Linksys AC1900 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router. Simple setup. I was up and running in just a few minutes. Nice to have dual band as well as a guest login should you choose to use it. You can log in to your router and add devices remotely and/or just push the WPS switch to correct any connectivity problems. I have had it for about 2 months now and feel I made a great choice.

    I bought a new wireless router to replace the poor signal strength I was getting out of the stock router that came with Verizon Fios. The Linksys EA6900 performed very well up to 35' and passing through one or two walls in my home but the signal strength dropped off significantly at 70' through 3 walls at the other end of my home. One solution was to locate it in the center of our home but that would have cost more $$ to rewire. After a little research & testing I found the Asus RT-AC68U to have 2-3 times the signal strength at the far end of my home when tested by pinging the same host online. I preferred the Linksys user interface however after the initial setup long distance performance was more critical in my home.

    We had an old N router that just got slower and slower over time most likely due to the fact that we've added a bunch more devices to support. Range was not great either. Got this on sale during Black Friday Weekend. Save a bunch of money!! This Linksys was a breeze to install and set up. Literally, took about 10 mins. Works better than expected. Now we are routinely getting 40-43 mg speed over all devices. Highly recommended!!!

    Purchased the router to replace the Netgear N900 which did not work after a week. Although a bit expensive, this device has been reliable, fast and I have had zero issues with the device. Once installed, it is very easy to add devices.

    I purchased this equipment to make my network faster and more secure. In both cases it has exceeded my expectations. It was a little tricky setup in windows 10 but I have heard since then that Windows 10 is a little network glitchey. But all being said it was a simple setup once it was going. Restart between getting rid of your old equipment and setting up the new and I believe you will have much less trouble than I did.
