Customers are impressed with the AC1000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 Router's ease of use and straightforward setup. Many reviewers highlighted the product's quality and reliable performance. However, some users experienced issues with the 5 GHz Wi-Fi signal strength. The router's performance in terms of signal strength appears to vary depending on the user's location and environment.

    Easy to set up and strong stable signal. Still strong after a year, not sure about longevity yet.

    The router has a small footprint and occupies a small space. It was easy to configure for my broadband network and was ready to use in minutes. I am happy with the throughput for both wireless and wired connections. In summary, I would recommend this device as long as it is part of the Linksys product line.

    Not sure if it's a combination effect of my home and the router, but I've found that this works really well sometimes and then other times the WiFi signal for 5GHz completely crashes.

      Hi, Charles,

      The Linksys E5350 Dual-Band WiFi 5 Router can deliver WiFi speeds of up to 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) and 700 Mbps (5 GHz), and 10/100 Mbps ethernet. You may try to swap the Ethernet cable between the router and modem for isolation and see if the modem is providing the same speed.

      For further assistance, you can reach out to us at [email protected] with the link to this review for our reference.

      Hi, DisplayNameGoesHere,

      You may try plugging the router into a different power outlet and if that won’t help, try resetting it. Let us know if that won’t work at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can lend you a hand. Just include your contact information, other related details, and a link to this review as our reference.
