This fits a 2000 sq ft house nicely, great penetration through walls and floors.

Linksys Black Router - good, fine, value - recommendation

We got this on sale, I was worried that it would not be strong or work well. It's great!

Was able to boost my wireless signal to cover all my child's devices and mine still works too.

in December 2018, Xfinity decided I no longer needed the ability to switch from G/N to B/G/N (and prior to that, every time they sent an update to their modem/router, it would break the b network so I'd have to switch back and forth to get it working again) and I have a device that works on a B network only. Yay. So I had to find a wireless router that would actually work for B devices. Set it up relatively quickly with no issues in December when it came in. Was able to connect to it with my device. Fast forward to the end of January 2019. I had to move the router to another electrical outlet, so I unplugged from the router, moved it about 4 feet, and plugged in again. Thought everything was working fine, because my computer was plugged in through the LinkSys and was great. A week later, I realized my B device was not connecting. Go to troubleshoot, failure. Wired worked, but wireless did not. Was set to pass through, and not assign IP addresses, so I tried to do a factory reset. The button did absolutely nothing. The device was stuck in a boot loop. (Fried firmware) Finally starting chatting with Tech Support. Spent 3 hours with them before they accepted defeat and let me RMA it. Ok. fine. Fast forward again to the beginning of March 2019. Noticed the B device wasn't syncing again. This time, I was actually able to get into the configuration screen for the laptop, but I just could not enable the wifi antenna again. Tried doing the factory reset again. Apparently that burnt out the firmware and It's been stuck in a boot loop ever since. I paid way too much for this thing for two to die in a span of less than 3 months, and I refuse to spend another 3 hours with support to get another crappy router. Found a cheaper router (different brand) to try on Amazon. At least if the new one breaks, I won't have spent so much money on it. Oh yeah, I had to pay the shipping to return the broken router, they sent a mailing label, but no postage included. I guess I should count myself lucky they sent me the new one in advance (although I had to give them a credit card number so that they could bill me if I didn't return the defective one.)

Works great and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Would purchase again. Only from Best Buy, of course.

Router works well but the mobile app was a bust. Wouldn't allow me to set it up.

Haven't had a problem with it yet. Seems good and Best Buy employee recommended it

Very simple interface, yet versatile. In service over 6 months so far and not a hiccup.

Im just saying a good router, works fine but doesnt operate great in my opinion

I got this on sale for my home office. So far so good with no issues. Easy to setup.

Unit works well in a church setting. Linksys online for management is awesome for remote

Replaced an old wireless g router that was lagging for streaming. Streams fine now.

For those of us who still need a wireless network this will do the trick.

Great router, works as intended. Good value for the price.

This AC router works great. We have 4 computers hooking up to it and no complaints.

perfect. I live in a 1400 sq ft apartment and I have to spots where I don't get good reception.

The router has been doing the job since installed. I have had no problems with my computer network.

Easy to use, great signal range. perfect for a 2 story house and multiple devices connected.

My other router went out, bought this one, and it's actually faster then the other more expensive to one.!!
