    Excellent product! I had this router before and I really like the simplicity connection. It was rare that I lost signal compared to other brands. I recommend this product.

    Was hoping this would be a whole house router, but signal strength is not great and it does not work well with multiple devices. Spend more and get a stronger unit.

      Hi, Nobud,

      To improve the performance of your Wi-Fi network, we can try tweaking the channels for both frequency bands to what will work best with your existing network setup. Try channels 1, 6, 9 and 11 for the 2.4 GHz band, and channels 36, 40, 44, and 48 for the 5 GHz. If you need assistance, we're just an email away at [email protected]. We have our Escalation Engineers ready to serve you.


      Best regards,

      Jay

    We were having so much problems with our wireless connection to our other router and Alex at Best Buy in Burbank recommended this router and it works perfectly. I wish we had bought this much earlier, it would have saved us so much headaches. Thanks Alex!!

    Decent home router

    It's decent for a home router. I like the interface used to configure your home network. But the range doesn't seem to be all that good. My tv in the bedroom seems to have trouble maintaining connection sometimes, and streaming video oftentimes ends up buffering. It's a good value though if all of your devices are in one main area.

    Significant improvement in performance and range

    I replaced a Linksys N router with the Linksys 1600 AC router that connects to a Verizon FIOS modem and feeds a gigabit network. I have a three story house with the router in the basement located in the southwest corner. Wireless signal in the third floor Southeast and Northeast bedroom was a problem wit one bar of signal on the N router. I now have 3 bars of signal and significantly better wireless performance. I would definitely recommend the router for anyone wanting better range and performance.

    Easy set up, Works as a router should. It's slower than it's new counterparts, but it will get the job done and has a low profile so it can blend easily. It's not going to cover your whole house, but has good line of sight reception. I use it to extend the line of sight signal from my WiFi mixer at outdoor shows.
