    Was for a much needed upgrade and I didn't want to spend a fortune on them, was looking at a netgear router around same price range, but employee suggested this one. I took his word and I have dealt with Linksys products before. I am very pleased. It pulls the speeds they are paying for finally. And it makes it better for me to use the WiFi over my own cell data there. If you need an upgrade on your router, and don't wanna spend a few hundred bucks, I highly recommend this one.

      Hi Pete,

      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? Make sure that you have a stable connection to your modem. You may also adjust the router’s wireless channel to avoid possible interference in your network. The recommended channels for the 2.4 GHz network are 1, 6, and 11 since they are considered non-overlapping channels. For the 5 GHz network, channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 are recommended.

      For further assistance, feel free to email us at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review for reference.

      Regards,

    I like the manageability of the home network, allowing multiple access and limitations. Also able to connect an external drive that can be used by all on the network to backup files. Great speed in the 5 Ghz link, however the one drawback I encounter frequently is the shared external drive becomes inaccessible at times and requires a reboot of the router to regain access. Other than that it appears to work well.

    Very easy to get set up right out of the box. Very simple to navigate setup page. I bought this router as an extension to my Linksys AC3200, as an extra hub and extend the wifi. The Linksys routers automatically recognized each other and configures their non-conflicting IP addresses for you. Linksys routers tend be a little lacking in the wifi range category compared to some other brands but excels within that shorter range.

    Needed to replace my old, minimalist router after eight years. Tried the one recommended by the well-meaning sales associate. Found the installation and set-up process frustrating and ultimately reached a point beyond which I could not proceed. Exchanged for the Linksys item which installed smoothly and easily. Provide all the functionality I require; has performed flawlessly since day one.

    The router was easy to set up but trying to go back and adjust settings has escaped me. The online instructions are not clear and/or do not work. A written manual does not seem to be available. This router does have greater range than the old one although I can't check the limit because there is snow on the ground.
