    I previously had a Linksys router and needed to replace it when it stopped working after 10 years. I liked the Linksys product and replaced it with the new Linksys router. It was easy to set up and works well as a wireless router for use with our home laptops and Sonos sound system. I would recommend it to anyone who has a similar type of home set-up.

    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.

      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 LinksysCares@linksys.com along with your contact details and the link to this post for reference. We would be glad to be of service.

      Regards,

    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 My router was old and outdated, so I went to BB and told the salesclerk what my needs were.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.
