This item is great. It was delivered early / on time. It is small and does not take up a lot of space. It was delivered without any damages and it works great. Thank you Best Buy.

i had an older router with only wireless b & g standards and would cut off farther in the house. i replaced it with this linksys router and the whole house is now covered.
set up was easy on a web browser. you have 2.4 and/or 5ghz networks and a guest access if you choose to. the compact design is also a plus in my opinion.

This was everything I was expecting it to be. Easy to set up. The only complaint I can find is that there are no lights on the front to tell me if it's working or not. (But I imagine this is a perk for some.)

Wireless range was better than I expected (both bands) but data transfer rates were slower than expected. It DOES offer WPA2, which I was unsure about.
Setup/admin was fortunately easy, because documentation (including the Linksys PDF I got online) was as sketchy as it was multilingual.
I'd recommend it, but with reservations.

I Bought this to use with the digital mixer: Behringer XR18, and it was the perfect solution to WiFi connection dropouts that I was experiencing from the mixer’s built in router to my devices. Now, with this Linksys router, my network is always secure at larger gigs and now I can also hardwire a computer in via Ethernet.

I generally buy in person. This is the first item I web-ordered. It was listed as in-stock. BB sat on my order for over two weeks before shipping. Unhappy camper!

high speed, easy to set up and backwards compatible with older wifi equipment. Linksys is the only brand of router I've ever used, and there's a reason for that...they work.

Solid performance from this little device. Works very well with no issues.
My only complaint is that you have to set it up manually. There’s no app set up option for this device.
Other wise i’d give it 5 stars!

Needed a second router for the extra ethernet ports and to expand the wifi coverage in my ever growing smart home. This product checked all the boxes and for the price, you can't beat it.
