This was recommended by the sales associate and an associate from the computer department after determining my needs. This supplies my wifi needs without overselling me a more expensive unit. Geek squad installed for me and reworked my network. Now I can also print from my iPhone.

Hi, Mein,
We appreciate your bringing this to our attention and we would like to help in improving the performance of your device. Please make sure that the firmware is updated, and the router is broadcasting two separate networks for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. We also suggest to modify the channel whatever suits best for your current network environment and we recommend to try channels 1, 6 and 11 for the 2.4 GHz and channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 for the 5 GHz networks. Should you need further assistance, please reach out to us via email at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this post for reference. We would be more than willing to help.
Regards,

Opened the box, connected the cables, and it worked first time. No problems since I plugged it in. I was surprised since this does usually happen to me. I always have trouble of some kind with electronic devices. You will like this product. Just right for home use.

I bought this to uprgrade from a Netgear N600, and it actually had worse range! I would only recommend this router for a small house where it doesn't have to get through plaster or brick walls. I took it back and upgraded to the WRT1900ACS and have been very satisfied!

I got this to upgrade from Linksis Wireless G router that I had for years. It was a little trouble to get all my devices to connect but once I did it works fine but I don't see any difference in performance or signal strength from my old router. good router

The router is capable of providing you a wireless AC experience throughout your home network. We can try setting fixed channels on both networks to help improve the unit's performance and coverage. Please email us your contact information at [email protected] so that our Escalation Engineers can guide you through the process. Indicate the link to this review for our reference.

Seems to work okay. Setup was a bit tricky for advanced users since they try to make the admin page user friendly and requires an internet connection in the "internet" port for "simpler" setup. To bypass that, I had to reference the manual. :/

I have owned three different brands of routers. This is the 3rd Linksys router I've had, and this is the best of all I have previously owned. I have found that the Linksys brand routers are the easiest to install without problems.

I found the unit easy to get set up and ready. It had good instructions to follow. Out of box set up and I purchased warranty to be able to return and replace. That's a great advantage with my busy schedule.

I have always loved Linksys products and this is no exception. They were bought by Belkin but the quality hasn't suffered. This is built very well.

Hi, Alaa,
We’re glad to know that you are enjoying the features of this router. However, what caught our attention is the incorrect data that the Linksys Smart WiFi app is displaying. Email us about it at [email protected] along with your phone number and the link to this post so we can have this checked by the Escalation Engineers.

Set up was more difficult than anticipated. Called customer support and they were exceptional in getting the router up and running. The router has been working great once I got it connected to the modem.

This new router was a nice upgrade from my old one. I stayed with the same brand, which helped set it up. At first it went out after 1 day. But, Best Buy exchanged it and now the replacement works great.

Router has been stable since I got it which is nice compared to an old Netgear I had to reboot all the time. I wish the range was a bit better to reach our gazebo outside. Would purchase again.

Hi, MrSimpson,
The signal depends on the distance of the gazebo from the router and there could be some interference in your area. It may help to optimize the range by changing the wireless channel and positioning the side antennas vertically. Do not hesitate to reach out to us via [email protected] for assistance and inquiries.

This is an outstanding router for the price, it has a dual core cpu which help when there a lot of device connected, I would recommend this to anyone with a budget.
