    There were so many to choose from but after reading and comparing all the features this unit was best suited for my use. I have a very old home with solid brick walls and our old unit had difficulty with sending a signal through out the house. I now can have multiple users on netflix and playing games on line with no signal loss. Instillation was a little tricky because it took my smart TV and computer a few tries before it would recognize the new signal but once we got up and running there have been no problems.

    Linksys - AC1600 802.11ac Smart Wi-Fi Router

    I had some trouble installing the device. Mostly related to the generated router password. I had to reset to the factory settings to recover it. Performance issues with respect to the number of connected devices. I have around 16 WiFi devices connected to it. Often issues with no traffic on certain devices. This is not expected from such a high performance router.

    This is a good router. However it is pretty much only good because the new WiFi AC standard is good. This router is simple, and has good features. The only exception on the good features being the network storage which didn't work with my flash drive or a portable hard drive. It does not have massive amounts of range but that's okay for the price you pay.

    Very reliable connection. Our old 2.5 ghz knocked out and we needed something with multiple bands and basically brought us up to date. This router did it.

    I got this router on BlackFriday and I used it for about 24 hours. After several hours of using it I checked on it and it seems like it was hotter than my old router. Idk if it was this particular router or all of them are like that. I ended up taking this back and got a Netgear router instead. Overall I would recommend this router.

    I had someone set this up for me for my desktop, laptop, phone, & kindle. Even tho' the modem has frozen sometimes, the router seems to work well. More stable than previous one; cat can't knock it over.

    My old router quit on me, so I was in the market for a new one. This seemed like a good combination of price and product. I followed the instructions exactly but I had trouble setting this up right away. Definately for me was not pnp. After 2 rounds with customer service both online and on the phone, I was given a solution that worked finally. Since then I have not had any trouble with my router letting me have access t the internet, at least on the computer. The other problem / issue is with the wifi. It is a lot less powerful I guess in its broadcast than I thought it would be. To be fair I live in a large apt complex, so there is a lot of competing signal in the air. So I could be getting interference from that, or maybe my tablet just isnt great with its wifi? Who knows, anyway so far the router is fine. Oh one other thing, just a fyi, it does heat up quite a bit so keep in a cool area.

    I replaced a Wireless G expecting far great range and speed but only got one of those things. It will not reach across my 1900 sq foot home and its near the middle. Great speed good range could be further but all in all works well and is easy to set up.

    Very easy to setup. Love the fact that it comes with app for your phone in which you have full control of your router. You can also set up downlod limits for guests, and use different password for them.
