    This is a good basic home router. I didn’t need all the features of the higher end routers, but wanted the ability to use the Smart WiFi app on this router to remotely manage the router from my cell phone. And this router was the entry level router my local Best Buy had in stock with that ability. If you need to connect several devices that are streaming media, I would recommend upgrading to a faster router.

    I'm not buying from the cable co.

    This is a very suitable product to avoid buying the wireless router that my cable company, Cox Cable, told me that I could buy from them to take advantage of their super high speed internet. Truth be told, if you want to experience the super high speed you need to be plugged into the wall. Like anyone is connected to a wall anymore. Even with this router I do not get even near the speed that I get when hard wired in, but there is no way I will be a slave to the cable.

      Hi Jimbuddi,

      Thank you for giving this router a five star rating. We'd also want you to know that a helping hand is always here, in case you need it.

      To improve the speed of the wireless router, try adjusting the wireless. Make sure as well that the Media Prioritization is off especially if you have not prioritized any of the connected devices.

      Here are some links that you can check:

    We purchased this item thinking that the next gen linksys would be all we need to provide strong wifi throughout our 1800 sq ft- 2 story home. Man were we disappointed in the lack of range, connectivity and speeds this unit delivered. Surprised I was as I have owned linksys b and g routers exclusively throughout the years. We moved on to Asus
