    Expanded my wifi level and range. I used it to act in consort with my attUverse unit and it did the job. No drops on Netflicks and spooled up faster!

    I bought this router to replace a slower one. We use this with 3 wireless lap tops, 3 cell phones on wifi, wireless HP printer and now added a surveillance camera system. I can send live pictures from the cameras through the router to my lap top or to my cell phone, anywhere.

    Unit had a really nice interface, was easy to configure and threw a strong signal. Especially liked feature allowing the 2.4 and 5 hrz ranges to be combined.

    Bought this router a few weeks back when I switched ISPs. Hasn't disappointed yet! Does much better than the router that was provided by my previous ISP (which I would expect). Never had any issue with constant buffering of my streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Spotify) like I had with my previous provider's equipment on a regular basis. My modem and router are on the second floor of my home, but I have never had issues with signal throughout the house. Have paired with the Arris SB6141 modem. Could you buy a cheaper router? Sure. But I live by the mantra - you get what you pay for.

    Works as it should. My only complaint is the settings are not quite as granular as I would prefer but that's really nit picking. Also, The smartphone app is nice for quick settings changes.

    Definitely a great find and product. My visit to best buy was great. Immediately I was offered help and the associate guided me in finding the right product and the differences in the routers. This was a very easy shopping trip and I am very satisfied with my new router!

    I needed a better router than what Verizon provided me and one that had AC. This fit the bill. When I had the Fios router my up and down speeds were barely cracking 15Mbps, and when I had a dual and N it was going around 35Mbps. I am paying for 75Mbps so this was disappointing. With this new router I am constantly getting 85 down and 90 up. Hasn't had to be reset once and it's been a month. Only negative is that my phone loses one bar when I am about 15 feet away. This maybe because i have the router placed in a closet. I am overall very happy with my purchase.

    Took much more time and effort than expected as my modem did not recognize the router and would not allow data through. After much time and manual configuration, it works as a router should.

    I needed a stronger router for Wireless to teach my Smart TV so I had to spend the big bucks on this router and it gets internet but stops every 20 minutes. I think this might be more irritating

    It works pretty well but for being advertised to work well through walls, it doesn't work super great all the time on my back patio. Overall though, is works well when I'm inside, even when running two xbox one's online at the same time.

    Everything but this Linksys router was sold out so I had no other choices for what I was looking for, but it turns out I didn't need any. Great product, priced right, and the install was super simple. If you need a router, you can't do much better than this one.

    it gets all of the features needed for a home secure network. Definitely the feature I love the most is the Guest Network which avoid third people access my internal network. With QoS the streaming experience has been enriched; allowing us enjoy flawless movies.
