    I got this router to replace my old $25 Linksys G router. The wireless performance is amazing! High speeds, really reliable until it isn't. I have lately had to reboot this router about once a week to keep the buffering to a minimum. I have 100mb from Comcast and for some reason all of a sudden I can load videos and the speed is at 100kb until I reboot it?? I am really sad because for the first few months it was rock solid.

      Hi Nicholas,

      Thank you for taking the time in sharing this review. Tweaking the router’s wireless channel is a good move to avoid possible interference in your network. Also, make sure that its firmware is up to date. Please get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so one of our Escalation Engineers can go through the necessary steps with you. Include your contact details and the link to this review.

    You need to use opendns to prevent your child to access bad site. I thought this router has the function for filtering those sites. Signal strength is about average (it may be the internet provider speed - I don't know). I use 1 port for ps4 game, 1 for voip phone, 1 for cellphone and 1 for computer. This router has priority function and filtering function. You can access this router from everywhere using your smart phone.

      Hi, Felix,

      It is indeed essential to protect your kids from potential malicious websites. With the Parental Control feature of this router, you should be able to limit access to the Internet and block specific websites for individual devices. As for the signal strength, adjusting the wireless channel and repositioning the antennas could help optimize the wireless signal. We can have you contacted by the Support team if you need assistance with the process. Feel free to email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your phone number and the link to this post for our reference.


      Regards,

      Hi Zoom. Thank you for giving our product a review. You may change the wireless channel frequency of the router, so it may broadcast a stronger signal. You may test channels 1, 3, 6, 9, and 11 for the 2.4 GHz network. For the 5 GHz, test channels 157 and 161. Use a computer > open an internet browser > Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar > Type in your log-in credentials > Click on the Wireless option, so you may configure the wireless channel. Should you need further assistance, you may email us your complete contact details, location, and the link to this review at LinksysCares@linksys.com, so our team may provide more possible solutions.Linksys

    Simple installation, easy to secure and a strong wifi signal make for an excellent router for a reasonably sized apartment/home.
