works great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product works great but I feel it would work better if I were not on Hughes Net satellite system. Everyone else I know who has this loves it! I will give it kudos as we now get service by the barn!

Not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this a little over a year ago. Initial set up was a problem, but once it was up and running, it was great. A few months later it started to go south. It frequently looses internet connection and NONE of the trouble shooting options work. Basically, if unpluging it and pluging it back in doesn’t work, you HAVE to call customer service. I’ve had to do this AT LEAST 4 times. Don’t buy this product. It degrades quickly and is not user friendly AT ALL.

MU-MIMO doesn't seem to work.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Internet speed test shows my download speed about 72 Mbps and my upload speed is about 14 Mbps. This is very good for my subscription speed of 100 Mbps and yet it becomes very slow when 3 devices are online. It's buffering trying to open a webpage. So, Mu-Mimo is probably not working properly. The router sometimes just restarts by itself. My unit has the latest firmware so I'm not sure if i had a defective unit or the product is really bad. My old Neatgear N300 works a lot better. Just tried to upgrade to make my internet works even faster.

Posted .Hi, Jackfruit67,
It's odd that the connection slows down when 3 devices are online. The EA7300 is capable of delivering stable and reliable connection even if there are multiple devices running simultaneously. Also, it's not normal for the router to reboot by itself.
Our Escalation Engineers would like to check the unit and help you get it to work at its best. Please email us your contact information at [email protected] so that they can contact you as soon as possible. Indicate the link to this review for our reference.

Average
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My internet company spectrum said that my route is the one holding my signs tru or not it feel lot so low with this one that my previous router work just ok
I would recommend this to a friendRouter did not improve wifi distance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this router in order to extend the distance and signal strength of my old router/WI-FI. This product made no significant increase in the strength or distance of the previous wi-fi capability. I was told the signal would penetrate wood with out any deterioration of strength. However, even though our old farm house has only wood in its construction, there is obviously a reduction in the signal srength between the 2 floors. The maximum distance from the router location to my computers/I phone is under 40 feet.

Posted .Hi, Smokeroom,
Walls would normally affect the wireless signal. However, you can try a couple of workarounds to experience the full potential of this router. To assist you, please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so we can have our Escalation Engineers contact you.

- Pros mentioned:Speed
Keeps dropping connections.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an earlier model from Linksys that I had for 5 years. I updated to the AC1750 because I was maxing out the speed of the older unit. I replaced the older model and put this in the same location. The new router keeps dropping my wifi connections. I rarely had that issue with the older model. This model constantly drops the connections. I would not buy this router again.

Several factors cause internet outs such as wireless interference and physical obstructions. If changing the channels to less congested ones and updating the firmware won't help, get in touch with us at [email protected] so we can have our Escalation Engineers check your network environment and investigate the cause of the setback. Include your contact details and a link to this review for reference.

Not a huge change in wifi signal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading reviews about this product, I thought it would boost the wifi signal a lot stronger and quicker . It has helped but not a large impact

Posted .Hello moon,
Placing the Linksys router on an area with less interference and physical obstructions would help boost its WiFi signal.

OK For The Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router is ok. The guy in the store made it sound like it would be better than it is as far as reaching my bedrooms. It is located in the living room.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed that the AC1750 does not reliably reach all areas of our 1600 sq. ft. house … sometime yes, sometimes not.

Posted .Hello, Bill,
Physical obstruction is one of the reasons why some area of your house doesn't have any wireless connection. Make sure to place your Linksys EA7300 on the central part of your house, and away from any obstructions to avoid slow internet speed. We'd like to have our Escalation Engineer take good care of the concern further by sending us an email at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.

Eh, I've used better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am sorry but a router shouldn't need an update in order for you to program. The firmware was corrupt online and had to return product. Blah!

Posted .Hi, DesertLos,
Updating the firmware is important to improve the performance of the router. We value your feedback about the configuration process and we also understand that you no longer have the product. If you'd need help with your other Linksys devices, do not hesitate to email us at [email protected].

New wifi not as good as the old one

Posted .Hi, KenK,
One of the possible reason why we get slow speed behind our the Linksys EA7300 because the firmware is not updated. Make sure to update it to its latest version and email us at [email protected] with its behaviour as our Escalation Engineers wants to know how it goes. Send along your contact info and the link of this review for reference.

Wifi signals
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't really tell if it at all makes any difference from one at a lower price. I find myself waiting on loading pages at only a room away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Linksys Staff
Posted .Hi, Kl2016,
Wireless interference could’ve affected the speed that you are getting in that room. To improve the performance of the wireless connection, adjusting the antennas of the router and setting a static wireless channel could help. Please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so that our Escalation Engineers can walk you through the process.
