    I am not pleased with this product. I have a 1000sqft town house and my wireless internet does not work upstairs.

      Hi Bnick,

      We value your feedback and we appreciate the time you've spent in writing this review. Wireless signal is actually affected by wireless interference in the network so we need to tweak on some of the router's settings to achieve the correct one for your environment. We'd like to offer our help in checking out your router's settings and help you make it work as it should. Email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com along with your contact details and the link to this post.

      We will wait for your email.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support

    Linksys has always made a quality router. This one is very efficient and the cost is very reasonable. Highly recommended!

    Good router, but not too stable in a "crowded" Wi-Fi zone. I had to reboot often. Living in an apartment complex with a ton of access points in the building, it would drop connections every so often usually requiring a reboot to re-negotiate channels. Would recommend if you live in a single family home but not for apartment living.

      Hi Hooper,

      Having multiple networks in your area can affect your Wi-Fi network as they will create signal interference. To achieve stable connectivity, we suggest tweaking the wireless channels for both frequency bands to what will match best with your current network environment. Should you need a hand, reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com and we'll have one of our Escalation Engineers assist you further. Just indicate your contact details and the link to this post for easy reference.

    Signal Range is not that good!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This router is durable, because it doesn't break easily. But, its signal range is not as good as I thought it would be. I have trouble getting a steady signal on the 2nd story of my home, even though the router is just below on the first floor. The signal seems to have trouble getting through the ground floor OR 1st story's ceilings and the floors of the 2nd story.

      Hi Dean9536,

      Raising the router above floor level can improve the strength of your wireless signal. You can also tweak its wireless channel to avoid possible interference on your network. Let us know how it goes at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details and the link to this review for reference.
