    My lap top was set up on a 1 year old net gear router and was running very slow. I called customer service and was told my router was corrupted. For a fee they could fix it. I went and bought this linksys router and the problem did not improve. Then I went and spoke to a service person at best but and as it turn out my lap top had a virus. Now I am hooked up to linksys router and the connection is great and the speed is awesome. The set up was simple. Buy linksys and never buy net gear. They don't stand behind their product unless you have money to give them.

    The Linksys is easy to set up. There was one little glitch in the quick start guide. I went on line to the Linksys site and it was easily resolved. This is my second home Linksys wireless router, and I will purchase a 3rd when the time comes.

    This is my second purchase of a Linksys router. The first was for my city apartment. Like my first, this one for my new suburban house looks good, and it was easy and quick to install. It has worked perfectly from the time I first turned it on.

    is is a easy to use and setup router. Setup = easy , Configuration=easy, signal strength= not so good. I hand the signal strength a little weak compared to my old netgear router. But overall still a good product.

    I purchased this router as an upgrade to my existing router. It has proven to be well worth the money paid. My Netflix doesn't stream anymore and all other wireless devices don't have the lag time they had before.

    I bought to replace my aged D-link router. So far it has been great. All devices connect with no problems and the speeds are great. The app interface for phones is nice, but a little disorganized. A good buy and worth the money.

    This is Linksys quality and solid performance, but it is somewhat overpriced. When a company gets bought by a larger company often times the smaller company suffers, but Linksys seems to have held there own.

    Two antennas makes this access point reach all my house, wheras the previous one had dead spots. This also has the ability to access it remotely from anywhere in the world, just in case you wanted to reboot, or change a setting.

    I was totally going to buy a different product but was asked what I wanted to accomplish and was directed to this router. What I selected wouldn't work with the type of Internet connection I had. This product works flawlessly.

    Overall its a good router but I have two main issues with it. First it runs hot, so in an attempt to get a little more circulation on it I have rigged up a little stand to lift it up so air can get to the bottom of it. Second issue is that every few weeks its seems like I have to reboot it as it has dropped the internet. May be due to the heat issue or it seems to happen when I have a lot of devices/people in the house on the internet. I guess time will tell. I did not intend to buy this router but the one I wanted was out of stock so I got this one and took a chance.

    Good router- easy to setup and provides good wifi signal throughout most of my house. The back yard is a little spotty but I will buy a signal booster to get better coverage outside.

    Bought this router for my boss's house because she was having issues with another one. This router was very easy to setup and get all her devices connected. Also purchased a compatible extender and that helped out even more too.

    The president of the company I work for couldn't connect from his laptop. So it turned out the old router had failed. So Best Buy had a router that fit our needs. And everything is working great! No problems setting up. Very simple.

    My internet had been lagging and on the slow side for awhile when I decided to purchase. It has made a significant improvement in not only my speed but preventing my internet signal from dropping :)
