Please see the statement above. Something I read in the user's guide said it shouldn't be used with the extender that I just purchased.

Linksys software allows for more specific edits for user permissions than other routers, inc. Netgear, which may have more bandwidth but be less helpful regulating devices connected.

Performs to my expectations. I'd get extended warranty because it failed after 1 year and needed replacement.

Happy with this router so far. Haven't had any connectivity issues or problems with the signal dropping. Starting using with a TP-Link AP this past week, and all is still well.

This router is dual-band, which allows stutter free video streaming to the television on one band while allowing downloading and web browsing on another.
Slick and easy!

I had to return this router because it does not work on Rise BroadBand's internet service.
Rise BroadBand has their own router that they can install for you at no additional charge.

I like the application you can download on your phone to monitor the router. It makes it convenient when I am not at home and a family member needs help connecting.

Overall this is a good router. Initial set up, configuration and optimizing for security and performance takes a bit of work and is the reason for a 4 star rating.

Has both 5ghz and 2.4ghz. The app allows you to remotely access the router to change setting and such. It’s great for the price and would recommend.

Waste of money

Purchased this router on Saturday because I had problems with one particular device, which turned out to be unrelated to the router. Unfortunately, this router cannot maintain a consistent connection speed. Speed tests conducted using their software ranged from 1.5 mbps to 37 mbps. I tried changing channels and flashing the firmware as recommended by the company, but will be putting by $20 tp-link router back into service and returning this to Best Buy this weekend. Save your money- this is not worth it.

This Linksys router works great for home use. It has 2.4 and 5GHz radios and is the lowest priced offering from Linksys that offers their cloud remote management software.

This is slightly cheaper compared to other options out there. It's not amazing, but you'll be happy if you don't need amazing performance.

The product is good but the manual is poor. If you don't know what is supposed to happen, you will need help. The manual is very confusing.

After having another router die out on me prematurely, I went with the Linksys because it got good reviews. Connection was a snap, and so far I've had no issues.
