Customer Ratings & Reviews

Old router did not seem to be working correctly any more. Went to the store and spoke to the sales rep. They could not diagnose my issue from my description, but said it could be the router. They helped me select this router, which was easy to install, and solved the problem!

Our prior Linksys router lasted about 10 years, the brand seems to be durable. This router does not seem to have any issue with reaching all corners of our house, overall I have been satisfied. I would say a good value for the price.

Seems to be working well so far. No issues. Haven't pushed it to it's max.

Love that I have WiFi @ home it was easy to setup now I don't use data on my mobile phone

Great. Set up guest network, one for high bandwidth use and one for routine internet use.

You don't have to pay more for an excellent router.

Good internet router. My kids are not complaining any more about the internet lagging.

A best buy agent assisted me on my decision. I had no idea what to get, they helped me.

Needed to connect smart TV to wifi and this did it. It was a quick set up and easy to use.

Easy installation and setup, no problem with streaming movies, connections have been good

This router was so easy to set up and I love that I can manage it via the app on my phone, After using mine for a couple weeks, I bought one for my Mom and now can check on her internet via the app without running over to her house,

Work like it should, now the online program is kind off hard to work with.

Outstanding router. Easy to install out of the box. Instructions are easy to follow.

I think this is good. I'm not particularly good at technological advice..

Great signal strength in both bands, doesn't clash with the neighbors router. A little touchy on the setup and has definite preferences for which browser you use and what add-ons. Best bet, install a clean browser for set up.

Perfect solution for boosting the strenght of our service by using this as a bridge!

I have tried many routers and have always come back to Linksys. It's hte only one for me.

I've had this router for about 2 months and so far it has worked out ok. The range can be a bit limited even in my small apartment, so I don't recommend it for a large house. I really think this item is overpriced and is maybe worth $75 (I purchased it for $110, I believe) considering the limited range.

The range of this router is spotty. Even in the same room 5 feet away, the beam forwarding does not appear to have a stable connection. If one of us is looking at or loading a graphic intensive page, the other person's page simply stops loading. Although I will say once a connection is established when streaming a show with commercials, there is no longer buffering during commercial breaks when using 5 Ghz. We have 5 devices on the network and have each device set to different bandwidths; one of the devices is in sleep mode 98% of the time,there is frequently active use of 2 devices at the same time. Our wifi phones which worked great all over our 3000 sq ft adobe home and outside on the old Actiontec wireless N router, now can't hold a clear, stable connection if more then 30 ft away from the router set on wireless N range of 2.4 GHZ, and it is worse using 5 GHZ. Also, regularly, our devices indicate we have internet when there is indeed a problem... the quickest solution is to turn wifi on the device off and back on to establish a connection. It is as if stuck in sleep mode. The last negative thing I have to say is I did not realize the impact the lights being on the back of the unit would have on the ease of diagnosing issues - you cannot at a glance see where the connection is failing (back to the issue of a strong connection showing on the device but no internet). Having bemoaned all those issues, the support line was truly helpful in setup and returning the first router which overheated to the point of being unable to handle. I was attempting to 'future-proof' my router, but made a poor choice. Perhaps the issue is with CL or between the router and modem which are side-by-side, but that has not been established, and CL service would have nothing to do with the range of the router. As other reviews stated, the LED lights on the back are so bright they serve as night lights, but you can turn them off from Smartwifi access if you desire. I thought about giving this 2 stars, but at least it works in some fashion most of the time, it's just not close to perfect. We've had this router close to 2 months now.

great router one of the best, I had a wireless n before from linksys for almost 8 years
