Users Guide is very helpful to learn how to use the camera. Camera takes very clear pictures. We were able to connect other lenses to take pictures from far away (sports). I like the option to record too. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and with the bundle!

We purchased a stove, above stove microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher from best buy over presidents day weekend. We shopped on line, local advertising & in stores. Best buy beat all pricing and has free delivery & free haul away which is a great bounce! Great experience and friendly & knowledgeable staff.

Three separate frequencies provide a nice mix for different devices. Guest frequency comes in handy as well. I'm finally getting everything out of my internet connection with the gigabit throughput.

Purchased this router since couldn’t update my older router’s firmware in light of malware affecting routers.
Setup was complicated by the fact that I only had wireless devices with no ethernet connection.
Linksys tech support walked me thru the much more complicated process for someone without an ethernet connection to a computer. I was very impressed with the help.
Router works well and covers my 1600 square foot bungalow. Connectivity with my Roku is excellent and am receiving the speeds to my devices that are coming thru my modem.
Was able to set up for automatic firmware updates.

My old router bit the dust and I had to obtain a new one, quickly. The Best Buy Associate was informative and helpful regarding newer wi-fi technologies. I chose this model because it appeared to offer the service I needed at a reasonable price point. Installation was the quickest and easiest ever!

Satisfied but had some install difficulties. Their help desk finally came up with someone who understood the issue. Their help desk personnel are crippled by the limited capabilities of their site (they can't see their own web screens when you are discussing them.

At our home we have Apple (laptop, ipad, Android cel phones (samsung S4) and Hp laptop. Everything except the Hp Laptop can have the new tecnology that they promote. Works fine, with only that minor hick up. So before you buy it, make sure it will work for what you have.

I purchased this item to replace a very old router. I was told newer equipment would make my home internet run smoother. I find that it operates just fine, but no faster than my router that was "outdated" according to my internet supplier. No complaints, works just fine.

I set this up with my controller that I purchased and it worked very well though it seemed to have an issue connecting to my netgear wifi extender so I ended up returning it. If you don't have a netgear wifi extender, this will be a great product for you. great signal, really can't go wrong

Sure glad I purchased it. I should have done this long ago instead of paying the phone company each and every month.
It works great!! I no longer have problems with my internet connection like I did with the one from the phone company.
I am certainly glad my I T guy told me to purchase this.

This router was very easy to setup and is comparable to my Netgear router that I previously owned. I like the fact though that you can control settings of this router through their website!

I needed a gigabit router and I thought having 802.11ac would be a nice touch too. After a little bit of reviewing I settled on this Linksys router. I don't care for the "smart" features so I skipped the setup and dove into the manual setup. Everything that made the old linksys routers so popular seems to be here, although laid out a bit different. I had my IP address information set, port forwarding enabled and wireless password changed from the default. Up and going in under 10 minutes. No hiccups yet, and the gigabit speed is much faster for my media transfers than before.

The old router was working, but I didn't realize how bad the connection was until I bought this new one. The coverage is a lot better and covers the whole house - finally!

I have an old home, built in 1902. The thick walls tend to block a lot of the signal from my old N router. No longer a problem. Much much faster as well.
