    Listen, this is the real deal, it’s not expensive as the other models, and it’s not cheap either, this stuff is right in the middle and it’s totally worth the money, looking for an upgrade? This is it, don’t be spending $100 of dollars on other routers. This is it chief. Now, be aware that the set up is a bit wonky not gonna lie, it was a little annoying but it’s worth it at the end. I’d definitely recommend this to others.

    Our old router couldn't handle our new fiber internet service, and this model came highly recommended. Easy to set up right out of the box. Great range - we can easily access from anywhere in the house or yard. And no more random disconnects that were happening with our old router.

    Works like a charm. It says for 1000 SF. I am using it in a small apartment, so I always have a great signal. Was on sale and I consider it a bargain. Easy to hook up, easy to set up names and passwords. Has many extras that can be programed like controlling the hours it operates

    If you can find this at a good price (anything below $90) then this is a great router. AC1200 is fine for any 3 person household; you'll probably want the AC1900 model if you're trying to host LAN parties or what not. Linksys is super simple to set up as well.

    Great low-cost router packed with lots of features

    Very good low cost WiFi 5 802.11ac router. Lots of features such as firewall, guest access, dual band, prioritization, mobile app for admin interface, etc. The USB port is handy for accessing media and there are 4 RJ-45 wired LAN ports (not shown in Best Buy pictures). The status indicator is also handy for quickly checking whether the router is up and connected. Note that there is no CD-ROM or user manual included, but there's a quick start guide and a PDF manual can be downloaded off the Linksys site. Also note that the max speed shows as 867 Mbps (not 1200 Mbps as noted on Best Buy) and the hardware manufacturer shows Belkin. The unit can get pretty warm during normal use. It would've been nice if it could be positioned upright (either due to space requirements or to reduce dust entering the router).

    This router was easy to set up and has done a great job for us so far. We use two laptops and two phones off of it with no problems. We do not stream much video though. Basic internet surfing and usage.
