The router works well and was easy to set up. We get great range on it (strong signal from across the street and next block). Will be buying another for my other house.

This is an easy to set up router for home use. Being able to set the 5Ghz channel for video streaming is nice because it gets you out of the often cluttered 2.4Ghz range.

Works very well once I was able to connect all my devices to it. I am a computer noviice and did not understand one of the directions. When i called for help, the foreign tech was not only not understandable but refused to answer my simple question. She had me doing things for over 2 hours to check my internet connection. She keot insisting I had no internet connection when I absolutely did. Linksys needs better technicians. I finally hungup and contacted by internet provider who answered my question immediately and got my rotor up and running.

Looking for a little stronger wifi around the house. This one provided the reach I needed. Seemed to reach further than my Apple Time Capsule.

I have a shed/workshop in the back of my property and I wanted a reasonably powerful WiFi/Router to cover the whole area (about 1500 sq ft but there is a lot of concrete between the "shed" and the workshop, a block wall and concrete floor too) I had dug a trench and run ethernet out to it from my house. So I went to Best Buy ready to invest a lot more money in a "powerful" unit, but the BB sales guy said he thought this would be fine and I bought it. Ran the ethernet, plugged in this unit, and now I have plenty of signal in my shop and "shed / man-cave" - I like LinkSys and this unit has been great

Fine router in my small apartment

I could not update my previous (different brand) router as I was instructed by the manufacturer so I bought this Linksys instead. Hook-up was easy via ethernet to my PC, and only a little more difficult to my smartphone, laptop and two printers via wireless. The router provides good signal throughout my small apartment and a ways outside, but I have no way of knowing how strong it would be in a larger space. I was pleased with the ease in setting my own network name and password, compared to being stuck with the nonsense name on the previous one.

I wasn't sure if this unit would be able to reach everywhere in the house, but other than a once in a while signal loss on the patio, it has done better than expected.
