I needed a router with a broader range and speed. With the new router my internet speed went from 15 Mbps to around 60 Mbps.

I looked at and reviewed numerous routers. This one had the parent controls that I was looking for. It also has a couple of different bands available. We get good reception across the entire house, in the garage, and on the front porch (2200 sf ranch). It was easy to set up. The online program was very simple and easy to use.

This router is great! The signal is super strong and provides a ton of speed. We use it as a WiFi range extender, and it works flawlessly. The set up was easy and took about 10min total, and I love the fact that you can see how many devices are on the WiFi through the website.

This device was on sale and had good reviews. It was very easy to set up and we got coverage through 2/3 of house. It is very fast, but ended up getting extender to cover 2 bedrooms. 3500 square foot house so probably to be expected. Overall it works well and would recommend.

I went to the store with our IT person and he selected this product for what we needed. It's only been a couple of months but it was relatively quick to install and although our IT person installed it, what took some time was configuring the network to the new router. We haven't had any issues so, so far so good.

Great Router - Good Range for My Network

I bought this router so that I could stop renting one from my internet service provider. I have this connected to my cable modem which is providing me with100mbps download. I have my Samsung Smart TV, XBox One, PS4, and Cable Box connected via Ethernet to the 4 available ports. I have 1 laptop, 1 desktop, 4 phones, and 2 ipads connected via WiFi. Obviously I don't have everything running at the same time on my network, but when using multiple devices, I don't have any issues. At any given time, my children can be on YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu while I'm watching something on my computer and my wife is watching TV, and the connection doesn't drop.The only noticeable slowness that I see is when I'm using the Wifi on my desktop, which is 2 bedrooms away (I live in a railroad style apartment). Even before I bought the router, I was facing some slowness on my desktop, so I won't fault the router as the source. The Linksys app lets you monitor your network and make changes to it in real time. I recommend this device.

Please follow the instructions for configuring this item.
I did not at first and it was very frustrating.
I've configured a handful of broadband routers over the years and I "knew" the drill. This unit ignored YEARS of typical configuration methods in favor of a new "simpler" method. Seriously, what kind of device practically forces you to use a wireless PC and create an account to set up a functioning network. That is almost 2 hours of my life I will never get back.
In their defense, they did have instructions. I chose to apply my seasoned skills and experience instead.
By the way, if you haven't bought a router in some time, keep in mind that this is not your father's Linksys (aka Linksys)...nor it is your big brother's Linksys (i.e. Cisco). This is a cross-dressing Belkin.
Overall, I would have done a little more research before I bought this. I might have still landed at this device, but when your network is down, you gotta buy a dang router...NOW.
By the way, BEST BUY, thanks for price matching. I will absolutely come to the store for tech purchase now when I would have, more than likely, purchased at NewEgg or Amazon before you made it so easy to match a price.
