Customer Ratings & Reviews

This WIFI router is great for the price and overall performance. Linkys router is easy to setup and easy to use. Great speed no more refreshing..

Our router died and I do not know much about them but the sales staff was very helpful in recommending this one and it works great! I am an online student, so Internet is very important to me.

This is a huge upgrade from myt $20 router that I had before. I always wondered what difference there could possibly be since they all transfer the information. It doesn't fail, and really shines when transferring large data files over your network.

Seems to work well enough. We use multiple devices and when the router is in a central location, things load quickly. Streaming through the TV isn't as fast or clear as I'd have expected, though that may be something else.

Well, that badequipment we get from the wireless company is something else. Now after getting it right. I am in a good place with my internet. I feel there are more upgrades to come... Stay turned...

The setup was easy. The phone app to manage is nice. It took me an hour or so to figure out how to configure the channel. The router defaults to a auto-channel pick, which is cool, but so do the other 20 routers in my area. My channel was switching too often for any of my devices to stay connected. Once I set it to a specific channel, all the connectivity issues went away. After a little learning curve, i definitely enjoy this router. I have not tried to hook anything up through the usb, though. I'm sure it will work fine. Probably a little too much for what my needs are (eg. Video streaming, console gaming, internet browsing, etc.)

This set up in a matter of minutes with no problems. I like the fact that I can select any device it sees and put restrictions on one or all of them. Makes it nice for not allowing young children to access certain sites, or even Internet access at set times.

Old router not enough power for Wi-Fi when multiple other routers in apartment building over powering my older (6 yrs.) Linksys router. This one plugged in quickly and easily. On-line instructions and setup worked quickly and setup in about 20 min.

PROS: 1. Very easy to set up, it literally takes only about 10 minutes. 2. Coverage: Dual antennas is enough coverage for our 2,800 sq ft. two story (even though the router is in the basement, not an ideal placement). 3. The USB 3.0 port provides an easy way to connect external storage (such as a portable hard drive) to the network. 4. Power consumption: about 4 watts (excellent). Highly recommended for home use. Easy to set it, and forget it.

Purchased this to supplement the marginal WiFi router that came with cable subscription. Neither one has ample coverage for the entire house. Problem is now there are two WiFi networks in the house. Next time will spend a little more and invest in a mesh network for a single WiFi network and automatic switching between the access points with the stronger signal. Overall, pleased with the purchase as it met the immediate need.

I bought this router as a replacement for the cheap router you get with Verizon FIOS. I was told it would be fine for two stories, but my floors must be thicker than normal because the signal strength was significantly reduced from the 2nd to the 1st floor. Upstairs, next to the router was awesome. All though out my room was great. My roommates room was still awesome. But downstairs there were relatively frequent dropouts. I tried adjusting the antennas a few different ways to see if that would help, but there was not much difference. I personally liked the user-friendly, simple GUI with linksys smart wifi. Not hard to understand and easy to customize the few settings you can change. I ended up returning this and upgrading to the WRT1900AC. Best decision I made.

I replaced my G band router from the dark ages with this Linksys, and it is amazing how much better coverage it offers for wifi at my house. Set up was easy and intuitive, and it has yet to crash, even with power outages.

After I bought this at Bestbuy I started reading some reviews and some were good some bad. I will have to say it has worked well for me. I was using an old router and this one has made a huge speed increase for me.

I had the basic router and wireless system that comes with the cable company service. I have to keep that router because I have land line phone service as part of my cable package, but it has a very limited wifi range. I bought this router so that I can use my internet more than just one room away from the cable router. It has worked very well for me for the last 18months or so. I thought the price was right, and it was easy to install. It's password is easy to use on my wireless printer, cell phone, and tablet.

Very fast if you’re in the same room. Paying for 250mb/s and I normally get between 200-250 on the 5g. I live in a town home and I have this set up in the living room. On the opposite side of my 1400sq ft home, I get closer to 15mb/s (likely due to the multitude of walls between me and the router). Great for a small house or apartment if it’s centrally located. If not, I’ve found a powerline adapter is much more economical than going up $200 in price

I didn't know how to set it up on Mac but I called tech support and they helped out perfectly. Now it works all around the house and I'm happy plus my roommate 2 yay for Best Buy guy for helping me. Give him a raise what ever his name is :-)

This has been a great product with an easy to use interface. I used it to bypass my slower wireless router that is attached to the cable box. I just turned off the wireless transmitter on that to reduce any interference.

I spoke to the General Manager about which router would best fit my needs. He was very helpful and knowledgable. This router was not too expensive either. Easy to set up. No complaints!

I installed this router in minutes and was able to set up a guest and secured internet access. I was achieving speeds higher then what my internet provider said I would achieve. No complaints.

I bought this 2 months ago and haven't had any issues with it. It's more then I wanted to spend but so far it's worth it. I installed it myself was a little confused but I got it figured out pretty east and fast.
