    I returned this router because it did not have a consistent connection on on channel. It kept switching back and forth from one channel to the next. The distance was not good at all.

    So far this Linksys router has been great. Easy setup and It has worked without failure in the few months I have owned it. No problems with multiple wireless and wired devices all running at the same time. Data throughout on the 5ghz band is excellent. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    This is a very good router, but like all router makers, be careful of new firmware updates. Sometimes the updates will have problems. When a firmware update is available, try waiting for at least a month and review others' experiences with the firmware installation first.

    We have used the LinkSys brand for multiple Wi-Fi spots for years without complaint. Added onto that is the ability to centrally manage each point through a web interface. DEFINITELY recommended. I will only be buying LinkSys Wi-Fi routers for our organization for the foreseeable future.

    Works great wired to my desktop and the wireless signal is strong enough for me to play games on my xbox or use my laptop outside on the deck. For some reason though my phone (Galaxy Note 3) runs a little faster with the cell signal then the wifi, could just be my phone though, it's been kinda buggy lately.

    Replaced an older model Linksys that had a max DHCP client setting of 24 hours, so it had to be rebooted every 24 hours to get clients reconnected again. This one has been up rock solid for over a month now with no problems, streaming 4K movies over it from Upstairs to Downstairs, with no problems

    This is a replacement for a different branded router which failed just beyond the warranty period. This unit was easy to set up and has performed flawlessly to date delivering wireless access for 2 smart4K TVs, 2 computers and a tablet. So far it has proven to be a solid investment.

    I haven't had any problems so far with this router. I wish I had a little bit more range, but I didn't want to pay for that either. This has done everything it said it could very well. No problems with it in the basement and using anywhere in the house or even in our unattached garage.

      Hi Hman,

      We appreciate your time for reviewing this product. We understand you're having challenges receiving the signal in other floors. You may need to add a range extender so that other devices on different floors can detect better wireless signal. Another thing you can try is to relocate the router or adjust its wireless channel.

      In case you need our assistance, you can shoot us an email at LinksysCares@linksys.com together with your full name, phone number, location, and the link to this post.
