Pretty good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is good however it does not boost the signal as far as my last WiFi box. It's larger but is slim and fits in a tight space .

Posted .Hi Nikki,
Tweaking the router’s wireless channel is a good move to reduce possible interference in your network. You can also adjust the position of the antennas for better wireless range. Follow the steps on this link: http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=138847

Returned it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I figured that this highly rated and expensive modem was the one to get when it was time to upgrade. Boy was I disappointed... The max download speed on my old router was 100mbps and I was paying for blast speed at Comcast Internet.. It should be around 150mbps... I upgraded my modem and router to accommodate the new speed .. Well my modem clocked 180mbps lan so it was doing the job but when connected to the router I was only getting 50 mbps on both bands regular and 5 GHz... But if and only when I connect on guest 5ghz I was getting the 179 mbps wifi speed I wanted... Weird so I called tech support we ran through all the test an setting the tech rep decided it might be a bad router so offered to send me a new one.. But since I just got it at best buy I just exchange it for another.. Got home guess what same results.. Did I mention I did this test on my brand new Galaxy s7.. This modem do far is not recognizing the s7 5g wifi only when you go on guest you get the right speed.. So I then returned it to best buy and pick up tp link router that was also highly rated an 100 dollars cheaper ... As soon as I set it up I am getting 180mbps speed on my s7. So I guess price not always the the best indicator for performance.

Great router coverage and speed

On my second router per Best Buy Employee recomen
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a cable modem and router to use on my Time Warner internet. For some reason my router will stop sending a wifi signal and I have to reset it to make it work. Returned the 1st one that was doing this because the Best Buy employee recommended I get a different one. Still having the same issue. Guess I have to deal with the issue since they want $150 to send out the Geek Squad to figure out what is wrong

Posted .Hi, Tommy,
The router does not need to be reset once it's configured and it should provide a stable connection. We can try checking setting fixed channels on both networks. Please reach out to us at [email protected] so that our Escalation Engineers can check the product and help you get it working as expected. Indicate your contact information and the link to this review for our reference.

FAST, reliable, and stable router
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disclaimer: I received this product for free as part of Belkin's Friends + Family Program This router was very easy to set up and it only took about 10 minutes for the process. This including setting up guest access, different channels, and securing my network. The speed of this router is amazing! I tested my speeds with my Apple Airport Extreme prior to installing this router and I was getting about 40mbps and I was happy with it. After the installation, the test showed 90mbps!!! I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe the speed improvement and what I was missing with my apple router. The speeds have been consistent and the router is stable. I did have to restart the router once in the last 2 weeks but it was extremely easy to do with the Linksys Smart Wi-fi app. I didn't even have to touch the router to reboot. Linksys also has a web portal at linksyssmartwifi.com that allows customization and access to all the settings necessary. It took a little while to get used to the layout but it was intuitive. I specially liked the network map that allowed me to view all the devices connected to the router. I also attached a USB thumb drive to the back of the router to test the ability to access files from different computers. I had a little trouble getting it to work since my drive was formatted for a mac. There weren't any instructions in the box on what kind of format the drive had to be. However, there is a manual on the dvd or online that has more details. I reformatted my drive so a PC can read it and it worked very easily and I was able to access the files from all my computers that were connected to the router. Overall, I am very happy with this router and it is an excellent replacement for my aging Apple router. This router is capable of a whole lot more than what I know what to do with. I hope to learn more about what this router can do. I will highly recommend this router to my friends and family.

Works fine once you install DD-WRT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Kept rebooting all of the time with the stock firmware even once it was upgraded to newest version. In the forums the general idea was that the firmware was faulty because once people installed DD-WRT the problem went away for most people. I installed DD-WRT and everything worked much better and it doesn't reboot all of the time. Would have given more stars if the stock firmware was stable.

Not good for long distances / multi level home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wireless works fine if you're near the box or with little in between. I have a split-level home with four levels plus basement. The router is on the second level and the signal does not reach the fourth level reliably. It sometimes losses signal going to the first level also. Returned and purchased Netgear R8000 which has better reach. All wired connections worked fine.
