This will be the second linksys router i i will need take back and replace in 6 months. it was great and worked well for the past two week then out of nowhere it locked up and couldn't get any internet through it wireless or otherwise, connected cable from the modem straight through the computer and it worked just fine, for the price of this router you would expected it to work for more than 2 weeks

Died in 2 days

Because I was having trouble with my Belkin router after 6 months, I took it back to Best Buy for an exchange (I had the extended warranty). The girl at the customer service desk recommended a Linksys because they are easy to setup. So I chose this one since it was close to the original cost of the other. Went home and setup it up. It was great! Very easy! Yes, I had to create an account with them but just about everything wants that these days. The app is convenient. Everything connected beautifully. Then in 2 days it died!. The router overheated and is no longer functional. I even allowed it to cool off overnight. Still non-functional. Have to make another trip to Best Buy. I did notice that Linksys is owned by Belkin Technologies. There is a warning!

Linksys EA6350 has problem with 2.4g band
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought EA6350 three days before Christmas, and then the nightmare was started. The 2.4g band wireless only can provide 5mbps link speed on all me wireless devices (laptops, smartphones and tablets). The first TS from Linksys said i got a DOA unit, so I returned it and got a new one on Christmas eve, not to mention, the second one does the same thing, so I think ..ok, maybe is my ISP problem, I called them up, and they came on Saturday after Christmas, replaced my outdoor cable and all the connectors up to the modem, but the problem still there. long make short, I have spoken to until yesterday - 4 level 1, 2 level 2, 1 level 3 TSs, plus two managers, average of call time is two hours on each, they used me as their lab that is all I can say, everyone of them through same steps called "problem verification", but none of them really meant to fix anything, all they want to approve was that it is your fault. Horrible horrible ........ not enough to say!!!!!
My suggestion to reader - Don't spend your time on trouble shooting for this product, it doesn't worth it, it is not working on your first attempt, return it for different brand. if you haven't bought yet, then go with different brand, even the TPlink is better than this for my situation. I will never buy Linksys, they are not what they used to be.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
At first I was very happy to finally have a working wifi router, and maybe I even jinxed myself after writing my first review. It was all good the first 2 months and a half and now this past week it wants to act stupid and bipolar. I've had to reboot and refresh it multiple times to finally get it back up to high speed but once it gets into its mood I know to expect turtle speed as well as "eff off" speed. It was great while it lasted.

Hi,
Your feedback means a lot to us and we hope you'll allow us to help you. Does the connection drop off on both wired and wireless? Here are the possible solutions that you may do:
• Make sure that you have a stable connection to your modem. • Adjust the router’s wireless channel to avoid possible interference in your network. Use the Wi-Fi analyzer app. It helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router. • Update or reflash the firmware. • Reset and reconfigure the router.
If the connection will not improve, you can send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review so that we can assist you further.
Regards,
