    I live in the country and internet is not that great. It didn’t solve all my problems like I expected but it gave it a boost

    We replaced a 7-8 yr old router ($50 Belkin model) with this one, after a conversation about options w/ a sales rep. Got it home and it's not offering any added speed or connectivity -- having more devices in our home than we did years ago, this was the goal. Next time I'll just try a reputable, lower priced option. I'm thinking some of the issues we're having may be with our cable/internet provider and I am also looking into that - but even so, this new router offered no relief from slow loading internet sites, etc.

      Hi Katie,

      Thank you for taking the time to share with us your experience with the router. We are here to assist you in getting it to work as expected. We would like to know on which connection you are experiencing a slow connection. Is it true on both wired and wireless connections? It would really help if we can check the speed directly on the modem so we can properly isolate this matter. We'd appreciate if you can email us the details at [email protected]. Kindly include your contact information and the link to this post.

      We look forward to hear from you.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support

    My last router was more than 6 yrs old so it was time to upgrade. This one has a stronger signal and better security features. Love the app that allows me to access it when not home.

    Didn't come in wanting to buy the most expensive router but it was definitely worth it because the quality and range is amazing. The app is cool to use too and having a guest wifi is great for friends

    I was looking for a router that had basic firewall features, and this router had that. It installed very quickly and easily. I have had no issues since installing.

    This router was so easy to install in automatic. Answer a few questions and the rest gets done for you. You can also do a Manual Setup if you desire but so far the automatic setup has worked flawlessly.

    Easy to set up but the instructions should have for step 1. Connect to computer as some people may not do this first thinking it is a remote wireless.

    I was told while searching for a router that the older models would be no longer and this would be my best option. So far I'm not seeing an improvement. I thought I'd get faster wifi speed. I'm sure it's user error
