I returned an all in one modem / router because it kept dropping the wifi connection, I went with a standalone modem along with this router and couldn't be happier !

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 [email protected], so our team may provide more possible solutions.

Does a good job. The range could be a little better but I suppose that could just be that my house is built like a concrete bunker.

This router couldn't be easier to setup and the backend functionality is intuitive and linksys obviously put some UX work in on this unit. Love it.

Many options to choose from with this router. I enjoy running my computer on band and putting everything else on the other band. Makes a big difference.

Hi, Chantoutou,
Aside from keeping the firmware up-to-date, we recommend assigning fixed channels to both frequency bands to achieve a stable Wi-Fi connection. Try channels 1, 6, 9 and 11 for the 2.4 GHz network, and channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 for the 5 GHz. Update us how it goes at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this post. We'll have one of our Escalation Engineers improve your overall Wi-Fi experience.
Regards,
Jay Linksys Support
