Overall, the performance of this wireless router has been good. The signal strength and coverage is better than my previous router, and the set up was easy. The only problem I have encountered is the router crashes on a semi-regular basis, requiring me to do a hard reboot and set the whole thing up all over again. Its getting to be really annoying, and I'm not sure I would buy another Linksys product for this reason.

You can't go wrong with a Linksys router! I am using this router to extend the Wi-Fi range from my primary router. My room is the farthest from the primary router, so I wanted to boost the wireless range. My Wi-Fi signal and speed have significantly increased with a second router installed. I am getting over 175mbps on my PlayStation 5 now (compared to 1mbps or slower before). I thought my PS5 had a hardware issue because I couldn't understand why my download speeds were extremely slow. My speeds were so slow that my games were estimated to take over 28 hours to download. I am so glad I decided to purchase a second router. This router has excellent range and I am very happy with my purchase. My ISP speed cap is 200mbps so I am getting close to the max speed I can get. Linksys routers are the best!

I have an older model of this router from 2 years ago. This one I have purchased for some older people who are like parents to me and have ZERO tech skills at all. For them while they have smart phones and tablets they really do not know much of the behind the scenes. I replaced there old Netgear N series router with this one for them. The results where instant. Much better speeds without any devices being kicked off of the wifi. Including when there daughter and 3 grandsons went over. No issues at all. The only thing that I do not like about the router is the initial set up phase. This router can be very finicky about things and it took a while for it to finally decide that it had a good internet connection after hard restarting the internet a few times. And initial setup before the app can be confusing for some. Otherwise this Router is a top notch router. Even the older version I have is still going strong to this day.
TLDR: Pros- Easy control interface with app, strong signals even in a crowded area, enough bandwidth for majority of families that are not streaming a ton or gaming a ton at once, and good longevity (in the case of my older one)
Cons- Set up is a pain at first and can be very finicky about it and it takes a bit to get used to the app for controlling it.

When I recently switched ISPs I decided to finally buy my own router instead of renting from them - at crazy rates! I got a great deal on this unit - so even if it goes south in a year (unlikely) - I am still way ahead of the game. Couldn't be easier to set up (plug it in) and then re-direct your wi-fi connections.

Love the router. Had to upgrade my router. Works great, for my tv, lap tops, phones, or what ever deice I need it for. Simple use to set up, manage the router as well. Bought the product at Best Buy during the Corona Virus time period, process with Best Buy was great. Simple with BEst But online purchase, then went to store to pick up. They brought it out. It was awesome.

I got my Linksys AC1900 router last week to replace my old router. the Setup went well according to the instruction. The whole thing was up and running in under 10 minutes and the features are great!
The signal strength and increase in speed was great and I had no issues with downloads or streaming from Netflix or watch TV.

Working perfect! So easy to set up. I actually attached this to a 300 foot ethernet cable and ran it to a small cottage on my father in laws property. Every thing we could have asked for. He has Wifi/streaming in his main house and guests have wifi and streaming when they visit off the same modem with 2 seperate routers

I repair computers in my spare time and I am often tasked with setting up network systems. This router, bar none, one of the best routers in this price range I have worked with. Every feature is available, the router can auto-update itself with the latest firmware and security features, and you can control it all through your smartphone. The coverage is good enough as to allow me to not have to install mesh routers as much as I would normally have to.
If you are looking for a top-notch router without breaking the bank, this is the best choice.

Pros:
Simple set up with a good system to walk you through the set up process.
Web interface is easy to use and understand, while giving the control I want on the unit.
Connection after a month seems good on both Channels, though the Guest channels haven't worked as well when I tested them briefly.
One or two brief connection drops, but it reestablishes quickly and without me having to do anything.
Cons:
Kind of pushy on startup to connect with the Linksys app and web services.
A little larger than expected.
Pretty happy with the unit after a month of use. Would recommend to others looking for a decent wireless router with simple set up.

This router took about 5 minutes from unboxing to set up, was very intuitive and simple. Speeds are outrageous and range is great.
Only complaint is that you must create a free Linksys account to access settings (like guest network) after initial setup.

I replaced an old Cisco that quit with this. Immediately my Speedtest doubled. Setup took all of 3 minutes. And the range is awesome. I can stay connected 2 doors down the block! Only complaint... I have one device that won’t connect. Maybe the technology is too old?

Works fine. I'm not very tech savvy, so if it doesn't perform correctly I wouldn't know. However, I feel like it works great. I think most trouble I have when I do it isn't the fault of my wifi router, but my service provider....

Decided to stop,paying our cable provider to "rent"their router. Speed doubled immediately. This router covers our house, which is L shaped, better than any router we have had, including times we have had a router combined with a repeater. We generally have a couple phone, tablets and/or tv online. We stream for all tv and have no issues I needed to call Linksys for a question and their support was great. We have had it for less than a month and so far it has met or superseded our expectations. (We live in a rural area and over the last 20 yrs have had every kind of internet service from wireless to satellite. Now, cable internet with wireless in the house is the best)
