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

      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

    I love this router. It works perfect in my house. One else is when I'm outside my house I can't use it. The range isn't that far.

    The router worked fine in plug-n-play mode. However, it was difficult to configure for more advanced features such as port-forwarding. The old Linksys interface and firmware was easier to configure. Linksys Tech support was of no value. They kept repeating the same instructions due to difficulty in communicating in English and wouldn't elevate the call. I had to remove the unit and replace it with a different model.

    This router works great, however the instructions to set it up were not very clear. Took longer to set up than it should have.

    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.

    No complaints it does the job. I like the additional features as being able to control and manage your router from anywhere from a smartphone app.
