Extremely Configurable

I needed this router to replace an old wired router at a small business. The aspect I like most about this router is the ability to easily configure a high number of port forwarding instances. This router is great for businesses with many remote access users.

Seems to do what it's supposed to do. I can't say it makes things download any faster, but that may be due to our mediocre ISP. It has an unsecured frequency for guests, though. Not too thrilled about that and don't know if it can be disabled.

My old router kicked the bucket so i needed a new one, i went to best buy to talk to an associate who was very helpful on helping me understand the new technology router stuff. He recommended this one i bought it and am very happy with it. Very easy setup.

I bought the device after it being recommended by a best buy employee and he was spot on. I live in a 750 square foot apartment I can have 3 to 5 devices running at once with no issue including streaming games on the new PlayStation network. I couldn't be happier with it.

I needed to replace my 11 yr old router and the salesperson was very helpful in finding a suitable replacement for my situation. Advd me I did not need a high priced one due to our useage. I appreciated the fact that he saved me money in the end.

Not much to say about this. It was easy to set up and does the job, but it doesn't have as long a reach as I need (it only seems to have a radius of about 20 feet).

My old router went out right as I was trying to get set up for working remotely from home due to COVID-19. Best Buy made it easy to order and pick up and I have had no connection problems since.

I bought this router because my Xbox one needed a higher bandwidth. I can honestly say that I am not disappointed with it. It works great with all my connected devices. The only thing that would make this better would be a slightly larger range.

Low Range and Poor Reliability

Spent an hour on the phone with tech support only to be told to return the product due to faulty hardware. I went with another brand and have been perfectly satisfied. I did like the smart interface though. Very easy to navigate.

The results from network download and upload speeds greatly improved. I bought this based on other reviewers and my download speeds went from 9MBS to near 50MBS. This is for a household with two other roommates and multiple devices.

It is a great router being as I have had no issues. I do feel it is a bit overpriced but you do pay for the quality you wish to receive. I would recommend this product. Also, I can receive full reception from the router at approx 75ft.

I lost my signal several times lately and am not sure if the problem is the router or the internet company. For now, I am giving the router the benefit of the doubt. If you are thinking of purchasing this product, do so.

Hi, TonyRuc,
We can get this resolved through proper isolation. We can start by connecting your laptop straight to the modem and observe its connection. If everything is working on your modem’s end, please send us an email at [email protected] so we can help you improve the router’s performance. Indicate your contact details and the link to this review.
We’re always here to help.
Regards,

This router works well for what we need it for. With multiple wireless devices we are able to stream on multiple devices as needed. Our ISP gives us 60 Mgs, but the router only allows 40 to get through for some reason.

Hi, Skydude,
The router should be able to get the same speed as the modem's. Try updating its firmware and run a speed test again using a wired computer. If the result is same, get in touch with us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post for our reference.
Regards,

Good basic router for home or small business use. It has a smaller range than the big models -- but for the price it's worth it if you don't need to cover a large area.

Good product, however design makes it hard to hide on a shelf/TV stand. This product is much more expensive at Best Buy, I would recommend purchasing it online or elsewhere, I just needed it same day.

I would give this a five star rating if the range was just a bit better. Also, the power cord could be a bit longer to help place the device higher for better coverage.

I replaced an older Linksys router that had performed well for many years in order to increase capacity. I did not think twice about whether or not to choose another brand. Linksys is it for me.

Was looking at another router but salesman recommended this one as it was more compatible to any future updates. Salesman seemed knowledgeable and was very helpful! Didn't spend too much more than I set out to and believe I got a better router!
