    When I bought this the gal at the store said this would do everything I needed it to do. I am still having some of the same problems as I had with the old one. I have to reconnect way to many times. Almost every day at some time it won't load. Don't know if it is not powerful enough or what. The gal at store said with this new technology I shouldn't have any problems.

    Linksys recommended to me that i upgrade my router as my previous one was no longer supported. I bought it via price match through Best Buy (collect those points!) and it works fine. I don't notice any wider range of service than i had earlier - which was the reason i originally even asked for support. I ended up getting a range extender to solve that issue. I have no idea if i really needed a new router or not. but at least it's new enough to be supported now.

    Easy to follow instructions. Took me 20 minutes to setup and connect all my units to the network. Had a bit of an issue with my HP wireless printer but connected on the second attempt. It replaced a 6 yo unit that was slowing and disconnecting from modem. Happy with performance so far.

    There are a significant number of advanced options available on this product that will suit just about everyone's needs from the basic install to the more advanced technical installer/user. We personally used this for someone that needed options in between including having separate Public/Guest networks from their Internal/Private network. There's also DMZ like, VPN, and other features that will appeal to folks needed more advanced functionality but overall this will work for A to Z.

    Using this with a high speed cable internet modem. Has worked well, speeds are great, setup is easy. The ability to modify software settings through an internet interface is a huge bonus in a model in this price range. High quality, intuitive setup software design - I have always liked Linksys internet products.

    Excellent products very easy to use and surely worth every penny of it. i am in the industry and use a lot of different types and models this was the easiest and the most coverage i got from it as well. the NMS is great on this device if you have the chance to replace your existing router do it and get this one.

    Was a little worried because Cox Cable could not get this working correctly. Wanted to sell me their Panoramic WiFi..I was to,d to return this. As it turned out the Panoramic did not work either SO this was NOT the problem. After 4hours they decided problem was outside the home. Long story short, I have internet and this works fine. It was a problem with the Cox connection on the street. Glad I did not have to return this and pay more for nothing.
