Customer Ratings & Reviews

I installed the router with no problems. Wifi connections were made to MacBook, iPhone, and printer easily. Online software to make changes, adjustments, etc was easy to use. Good signal strength on both the 2.4 Gz and 5.0 Gz bands.

Purchased this based on the decent reviews it had been getting and several different lists that ranked it as one of the best router options in its category currently on the market. Not sure if I got a lemon or not, but it would only give me a portion of my wireless speed (Ethernet was fine at around 100mbps (I'm only suppose to get about 75mbps), but wireless would only get up to around 27-30+mbps, even sitting right in front of the router). Mbps dropped the further I moved from the router, with no evidence of beam forming. Tried different settings and trouble shooting techniques from various sources to no avail. Returned the router after a few days and picked up a Netgear with similar specs as this one for about the same price. The Netgear was able to consistently get 70mbps over the 2.4G wireless connection and over 90mbps on the 5G wireless connection, with no trouble shooting necessary, multiple devices wirelessly connected to the router and at various distances from the router. I originally thought the Linksys was being impacted by others who live close by that are on the 2G bandwidth, but clearly that is not the case since the Netgear worked perfectly on both 2G and 5G connections (In case you're curious, I purchased a Netgear CM600). Seems that there is something wrong with the smart wifi features on this Linksys; buyer beware, especially if you intend to use high-speed internet service and/or need wireless coverage outside of the immediate room where your router is.

Love the capability of "wireless" printing thru this

I have no complaints about this router. I have had to reset it much less than previous Linksys routers that I have had in the past. The range has been great for me. Covers the whole house and out in our detached garage which was what I needed it to do.

I have used Linksys routers for over 25 years and have had great results with them.

It is a good router, nothing extraordinary about it. Does what it says.

Very simple and easy to set up. With a mobile app i can turn it on/off from anywhere.

Got this for my daughter's college apartment. Works great with all of her devices!

I purchased this router after dealing with an interior one which often had to be restarted due to dropping signal. I installed and set up this myself I less than an hour. Since using the router, I haven't had to reset it once. The signal is strong and keeps me connected.

Super easy setup and controls. Device control (parent control) is super easy to use and makes it a breeze to limit children’s internet time. App is also very easy to use and you can access your router from anywhere to make changes, etc.

It is a descent and great router using at home to connect all different devices at home

Super easy to set up. Getting very good range on this. The computers pick it up strongly from floor below and on next floor also. The phone's wifi reception is weaker, so using some other contact points at other rooms in the house for the phones.

I only knew that I needed a new one. A sales person approached me, asked me a few questions and ga r me a couple of recommendations, but said this would be the best. It works incredible for 3 smart tvs, 2 game systems, phones , a tablet and a laptop.

Upgraded my home entertainment and realized my buffering was due to an old wi-fi router. Upgraded in 30 minutes to no buffering and multiple devices in use, too. Everyone is happy and I sleep better, too. Great choice for home. Love the speed!

sales person recommended this brand. works great glad we listened to him and got it.

This router was easy to install. It replaced our previous router that was 6 years old.

This router was recommended by the Best Buy salesperson and serves my purpose well.

The data speed for the router is good, however it can be frustrating since moving throughout the house often requires the device to reconnect with the router and we have had to periodically restart the router to improve connectivity.

I bought this router on the recommendation of the salesman at Best Buy. It was easy to install and took only minutes. It works with Comcast and have had no problems with wifi, my computer on printer since installing. The price was in the mid range.

Works great my husband hooked it up with ease. We don't have to reset it all the time.
