    I took one star away because I have had to change settings a few times as the speed drops. Think I got a good channel now since it's been steady. Like the ability to offer friends a guest Wi-Fi space so they can stay out of my way. Easy to set up also but don't use the automatic setting for the channels. . . it kept dropping out!

    Bought this as an upgrade to my dual band wireless n router. Needed gigabit Ethernet ports, and most of my wireless devices are AC now anyway. Great stability and great range. Port forwarding is also super easy to set up on it (needed to do it for the PS4). Also appears to have a built in firewall which is nice.

    I was having spotty internet service and was getting really frustrated. My router was old and outdated, so I went to BB and told the salesclerk what my needs were. He suggested this one, so, I went with it. I am glad I did. My internet is no longer spotty, it is faster and I am very happy with this product.

    Excellent WiFi Router

    This is a great value for the money. We can pick up WiFi in every room in our house and also on our patio. We have used as many as four devices at one time with no trouble. It was easy to hook up, our 14 year old grandson did the installation for us. The router will pay for itself in a few months since we no longer pay our internet provider a monthly fee for WiFi.

      Hi, camille2,

      Thanks for sharing your insights, and we feel sad to hear the challenge that you've encountered during the setup process. There are some factors that we need to consider prior to installing the device, and that is a stable internet connection coming from the modem. Mind sharing us more details about what happened so we can further look into it? You may email us at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this post for reference. We would be glad to be of service.

      Regards,

    Bad connection w/ Spectrum router initially. Changed ports and no problems since. Android app lets you monitor and set parameters. Best Buy honored the price match. Smooth sailing for 2 months thus far. I don't have more than 4 devices actively engaged at a time so I can't speak for performance heavier than that.

    More than adequate WIFI Router for home use.

    My original WIFI router was also a Lyncsys router but a fairly old unit and it had worked well for years. Therefore when the need to replace my WIFI router came up then going back to a Lyncsys router was an easy choice and in my opinion a good decisionfor my home use. The setup was extremely easy, almost a plug and play. I have no criticisms for this unit.
