found this product to have a great range in an industrial setting. Range was very good for being inside a building with lots of steel obstacles to go around.

I gave it 3 stars because it was a great router for 3 months. Until it barely wanted to hold a signal and the unit would heat up. Well after being on the phone with linksys technical support they deemed it defective. After discovering the hardware wouldn't accept the updated firmware. Luckily the hardware was still under the factory warranty. I got offered a free replacement. Hoping it lasts alot longer then 3 months.

Hi, Chappy730,
What you have experienced, given the short span of time that you've used the router, is odd. Rest assured our Engineers we'll investigate what caused it. If you need assistance with the replacement device, you can also reach us via [email protected] so that we can get you over to our Escalation Engineers.
Regards,
Irish Linksys Support

My old router would not maintain a connection, and I had weak reception in the upper floor of my house, even though my house is small and the router not that far away. Also, my Nintendo Switch could barely stay connected to my old router. After reading some reviews, I decided to buy this router, and all my issues have been resolved. The Switch works on either band and I haven't dropped a connection so far. The online features that LinkSys provides are nice, too, and the router will update itself automatically. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

Great on 5G but the 2.4G worthless!!!

Bought this to replace an old Linksys that was giving 15mbps. This thing was super awesome on 5G for cell phone gave me 51mbps but the laptop, desktop & tablet only found the 2.4G and that was only giving 1.5mbps pretty much worthless. I went and exchanged it for the Netgear-N900 WNDR4500-100NAS now this thing (NETGEAR) gives me 25 to 30mbps on 2.4G and 60mbps on the 5G. Just stating the facts to hopefully be helpful to someone.

In less than 6 months this device no longer worls

I used this device, and it performed ok (not as good as Netgear Nighthawk) After 5-6 months the device was dead. It will not power on, and having to jump through the hoops with their Customer Service is a joke. DO NOT BUY!!!! When I bought this they were $130, I have always purchased Cisco/Linksys products. They do not make them like they used to. I now have the Netgear NightHawk and it is amazing.
