This has been a very good router for everyday home use and video streaming. I would definitely recommend it. As with most electronics, just make sure it has a cool surface so that it doesn't get too heated.

The first one I purchased was defective. It did not send signals to my cell or laptop. The Linksys tech walked me through a problem detection routine and the item did not respond on any level as he said it should. I returned the item for a replacement. So far, the replacement is working properly. I cannot say how many other folks have had this problem and it is unlikely that I will ever need another provided this one continues to work. Maybe I just got the one out of a thousand bad ones. Therefore, I will still give it a recommend.

Hi, Donald,
It's good to know that you are enjoying your connection with the replacement router. As longer as it is properly configured, then it should continue to work. If there's anything we can help you with, do not hesitate to contact us anytime via [email protected].

My mom needed a new router, and this one fit the bill. She is a little technology challenged, but was eventually able to figure it out.

Needed something cheap with a gigabit connection to my modem to replace my old router that was bottlenecking my upgraded internet speed. This did the trick and has worked perfectly so far( about 3 months).

It works well. I hoped it would give me a little more range though. I may have to get a signal amplifier to increase the speed on the other side of my house away from the router.

I was having signal strength problems and not anywhere near the download speeds I should have been. This router solved those problems and gave me several great options for guests and device prioritization.

I purchased this router for my elderly parents, that quite frankly, do not require a high internet speed. The speed of the router is actually very good, performing as well or better, than advertised. The range however, which is highlighted as one of its many pluses, sucks! If you're not in the same room, forget it! If you live in a small home, I'd say that it's probably going to work well for you. Otherwise, keep on shopping.

Hi, CedricDaButcher,
Interference in your area could affect the wireless performance of your router. We can try setting a fixed channel on both networks. The recommended channels for the 2.4 GHz network are 1, 6, 9 and 11 and for the 5 GHz network, channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 are recommended to less likely encounter interference. You can check out this link for the process: http://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article?articleNum=143717
Our Escalation Engineers are eager to guide you in optimizing the unit's wireless settings. Please email us your contact information at [email protected] so we can help you get in touch with them. Indicate the link to this review for our reference.

Great router at a good price. The only drawback is how Linksys implements their guest Network, you have to sign in each time, it won't remember the password and auto connect.

I replaced my old router in hopes that I would get better wifi reception. Unfortunately, it works no better than the one it replaced. I should have just returned it and kept the older one.

Hi. A wireless router performance will depend on the interference affecting the wireless broadcast. Place the router in a higher location so the connection will become stronger. Changing the router's wireless channel will also help. Go to the wireless settings page by following the instructions in this link: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=143717. For the 2.4 GHz network, try channels 1, 6, and 11. For the 5 GHz network, test channels 157 and 161. Should you need further assistance, you may email us your complete contact details, location, computer OS, and the link to this review at [email protected] so our team can provide more solutions the soonest.

Not very savvy on the mechanics of these things so had a friend help. He pulled it together with no difficulty and has been working ever since.
