Great Router

I have had this router for at least 3 years, and it is great. Plus the customer service is great. Even after my warranty expired, they spent a long time on the phone with me troubleshooting an issue I had. They are great.

This router works pretty good. I use it for my laptop, Ipad, and phone devices and have had no issues with it. Setting the router up was tricky in the beginning as I couldn't find the connection on my laptop but eventually my router caught up and we were able to connect fine.

This router will fit all of your wifi needs. It has a nice app where you can set priorities for your different devices connected. I gave it 4 stars because there's nothing I know of that makes this router excell over others.

I was having problems with my old router. Went to Best Buy and bought the Linksys AC1200+. When I hooked it up it took no time at all and I was connected. The staff at Best Buy were great and helped me pick the right router for me. Awesome job guys.

Very good router, works great in combination with our Arris modem that saves $10 on our cable bill. Minor hiccups from time to time, but nothing a quick reboot can't fix. If you need a router, this is one I recommend.

Very Good Router

I've been very happy with my Linksys routers. I do need to reset this router on occasion, BUT our cable modem also has problems, so the issues may be more from our cable service/router and not a function of the router itself.

Hi, RonH,
We're glad to hear that you are happy with our products. This device is dependent to the modem and we recommend performing a reboot if you are experiencing issues with it. Also, it is best to have the modem checked by your ISP and if the router still requires a reset to work properly, do not hesitate to email us at [email protected] with the link to this post and your phone number. We'd be more than happy to help you.
Regards,
Irish Linksys Support

Speed Test
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have a 60 Mbps service and connecting the laptop directly to the modem gave me the full speed, sometimes even more. However, through the router either wired or wireless connection, I can only get 16 Mbps max. Returned it to Best Buy but upgraded to still another Linksys brand but I got the AC1600 model this time. It doesn't have the sticking out antenna which is awesome but it gave me the full speed both through wired Ethernet and wireless connection.
For both routers though, I love the smart Wi-Fi app which enables me to view the settings and the devices connected and also has parental controls.

Hi, rmusarn,
It's odd that your previous AC1200 Router didn't provide you the right amount of speed that it can deliver. However, we're glad to hear that your new Linksys router is working to its full potential. Should you encounter any challenge in the future, feel free to contact us anytime at [email protected].

Great for a one bedroom apartment. Doesn't work so well with two bedroom. It works but if you have iPad,laptop,TV, cell phone it's too much for a two bedroom apartment .

Hi,
The router can cater up to 32 wireless devices at the same time. It’s best that you place it in a central location. Adjusting the wireless channel will also reduce possible interference on your network. The preferred wireless channels to use for the 2.4 GHz network are 1, 6, and 11 since they’re considered non-overlapping channels.
Let us know how it goes at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review for reference.

Worked for a while

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This was my first Linksys experience and I picked this router off recommendations and reviews. It worked well for about 6 months now it is dropping WIFI constantly. Contant resets and have tried firmware updates as well as changing channels. Still seems to be dropping out. Very frustrating. I called Linksys and was told that since I was past 90 days they would charge me for any tech support. I think I would rather use the money towards another brand router. Way to back your product Linksys.

Great Linksys WiFi router

The support from Linksys was great once I had the phone conversation going. It was even difficult for the person on the other end controlling my computer to get the Linksys Router to work properly, it was not an easy wake up for the router.

Love the parental controls

I wanted to find a unit that would have parental controls. This one fits the bill and allows me to control every device individually in the house. It does have a couple bugs but overall it is a nice unit

Good Router

Good router. Spent a bit more than I wanted, but I am happy with this. I really like the feature to use an app to get into the router and trouble shoot if needed, and limit devices on the network to certain sites or access all together.

Horrible router, no matter the settings and even with current software it made my normally fast service unusable. Called tech support and they were zero help, they finally gave me a code to return the device to Best Buy, the employees there had never heard of anything like that, but a manager graciously agreed to let me exchange(got a Netgear that functions flawlessly)! Tried to post a review similar to this one on the Linksys site and they denied it!! Don't buy this product.

BB associate recommended the router. Easy set up and install. Increased my Wi-Fi speeds on my laptop and TV. The amazing thing is the range! Now I have Wi-Fi while I'm at the apartment pool! Very happy with the router.

This was purchased to set up an intranet system. It has both 2G and 5G. Once this wireless router was configured and passwords assigned for each, the network was very easy to set up! I have great connections for my components.

I love the options I have with the router! You can have a guest account and control what goes on with it. You can choose to have the normal 2.4GHz or have both the 2.4 and 5.2GHz channels running at the same time.

I purchased this router for an upgrade to my old one so I can stream 4k content on my tv. Works like it's supposed to but know that you will probably have to have customer service walk you through the set up

I have lost count of how many linksys routers I have used in my life. But as they get better I am never let down by the upgrades. One of the best products for home networking and the price is hard to beat.

Love my new router. The sole purpose of buying a new one was so that my husband didn’t lag out of games on Xbox One. We’ve had it for about a month now and not one complaint! Worth the money
