    A Great Router with lots of options

    The setup was super easy and offered tons of options. At first I was quite nit picky and probably a bit overzealous in my desire to use all that was available. That in no way affected the resulting performance. I eventually settled on the appropriate features and it has been smooth sailing. I am personally not a fan of using WPS but, having the option was nice. I also enjoy the abilityt to prioritize specific devices as I have a number of DLNA devices and I find it helpful to give them higher priority.

    If you don't need this router now, you will definitely need it in the near future. You will need to make sure that this router is compatible with your current modem.

    We had trouble getting wireless signal in all areas of our large, three-story house with our old router and had to regularly unplug and plug back in to refresh the signal. Not any more. Also happy to be able to limit my 13-year old's access to the Internet with parental controls.

    I am actually on my way to return it to Best Buy. This router has a very inconsistent connection, the signal drops all of a sudden, and I need to reset it every other day. Linksys does make some really good products, but this particular model is a pretty bad one.

      Hi, JoseL,

      This is a very unusual behavior for Linksys router. We recommend that you update the firmware of the router to try and fix this, then reset and configure the router again once the update is successful.

      If you need further assistance, feel free to email us at [email protected]. Don't forget to include your contact details and the link to this post.

      We hope to hear from you soon.

      Regards,

    For the price and the description of the item I expected a stronger signal throughout the small house I live in. I get 5 bars in the room the device is located in - and three bars everywhere else. So, good overall.

    Great router to set up. Bought this for my father (who is not tech savy at all) and he was able to set it up in no time without any problems. Love the fact that you can hook up an external USB hard drive and share all your files, pictures, movies, music, etc all over the network. When you have guests over and want to use your WiFi you can point them to the "guest" access so they do not have access to your private files i.e. networked hard drive.

    Purchased this item on sale. The installation process was a bit of a headache for me, but now that it is installed, it works great. Range is decent but I notice it slows down if a door is closed.
