I have a very specific use case scenario for networking hardware and this didn't meet it so I took it back. I'm sure it's great for general use but word to the wise: It doesn't support SMB3

A complete waste of money

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
If you want an AC connection with this piece of junk you will need to be within five feet or so. Is there a wall between you? Then no chance. you might get one megabit. I deeply regret wasting so much money on this piece of trash and its companion "AC" 1200 USB adapter. I put AC in quotation marks because I only got an AC connection once, and I had to get up and walk to within five feet of the router even though I was in the same room. If you are thinking of buying this just put it down and walk away. I may update this review to let you know what I end up buying in its stead.

Hi, Charles,
Low signal strength could affect the speed that your devices detects. In this case, there are workarounds you can try to optimize the performance of your wireless networks. If it's not possible to relocate the router, then try changing the wireless channels of both frequencies and repositioning the antennas. Do not hesitate email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post should you need further assistance.

Easy Set Up

This replaced a 7 year old Linksys router that we loved. So far this one is great. The range far exceeds our old router and the speed seems to be very good too.
The set up was the best part. No more typing ip addresses or choosing WP2 security protocols. Just plug it and walk through the wizard. Give it a name and a password and you're all set. Supper slick.

Not a good router for a large home with multiple connections. Had to return the router and exchange for a more powerful one. This Linksys - 802.11ac Smart Wi-Fi Gigabit Router may be very good for a smaller home?

Does not work with TWC which requires a coaxial input (which this unit does not have). Probably great if you don't need that type of input.

Can not have multiple people on gaming or restart

When more than one person is gaming on this, it drops someone almost inevitably. Even when hard wired!!!
So when I restart it by unplugging it, every time I plug it back in, the status LED keeps flashing and never gets internet again. So I need to do an ENTIRE factory reset every time I want to restart it. Not to mention when the power goes out. This router is awful!
