Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing speed. Love the ease of setup. Runs multiple devices great. Good until mu-mimo is more available in devices.

Glad we purchased this router. Our speed is up to more than what we pay for with Comcast and no more dropped streaming channels. It reaches a great distance even outside and I especially like the Linksys app that is easily loaded on your phone to use it with ease. I like the fact it also has a guest access password that I can give to outside users. We have many devices in our home and can see no loss of speed even when they are all in use.

Bought this on sale after cutting the cable cord to replace my existing N600 dual band router. Am getting full signal strength on main and basement floors to my computers and streaming TVs.

Let me start off by saying that Best Buy prices this router higher than other retailers. If you can, have them price match it. I bought this router because I was officially done with the poor Actiontech routers supplied through FiOS. While it was a whole process in order to eliminate my ISP's router, it was well worth the time and effort. I actually really love the design of this router. It has more of an "industrial" feel than a futuristic one like other routers. The design also allows other Linksys products to stack together, making storage easy and organized. The browser UI is fantastic and extremely easy to use. It offers both basic settings and much more advanced settings, so you can easily lose an hour or so just messing with new options. Speaking of options, there are a lot. You have everything from media prioritization, guest access, port forwarding, and much more. I have not attempted to mess around with certain features, such as DDNS and VPN. Connection is very strong and can be held through the whole house. Obviously, the 5Ghz band loses strength after passing through a few rooms. However, the 2.4Ghz band picks up signal and keeps it, even outside. Both run network intensive applications perfectly, even while other devices are in use. I noticed that a lot of people were having to reset their router because of dropped connection. I am happy to report that I have not had a single drop in connection. I am not sure what would cause this other than faulty settings. I have been able to maintain speeds that greatly exceed what I am paying for, even with network intensive applications in use.

I replaced an old smaller Linksys. The new one is faster, goes much farther distance and is reliable.

This router has performed as expected. Set up was easy. Speed is great and the rage is good also.

I have two of these routers for home and also business. Incredible product, my home is a multi-level 4 bedroom home and I have full signal in any room in the house. Highly recommend!

Newest"s' v. Not just older ac. Easy to program. Expandable features for memory, guest access. Antena and placement work for multi users & guest access. Phone remote access excellent to control and moniter. You will find you have more users than you planned. It handles the work. Looked at all choices, best choice for speed access, given current provider speeds. Still has more speed to use when faster ip speeds get here. Room to grow.

At first I was skeptical about this router boasting it's range capabilities. However upon installing it, it covered a lot more than I expected. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I'm not complaining anymore after installation. It is open source capable, but it's a function I have not tried yet. Will update if / when I try it.

The Linksys router was so easy to install. I've hooked up a lot of routers for my neighbors and this unit was by far the easiest. Love the way it works. Would highly recommend

Very simple to set up but has a lot of features for advanced users. Long range and fast speeds.

Following the instructions yielded an easy setup with all household devices working normally, including a Roku device working wirelessly through the floor in the basement.

I have been using Amazon Prime videos and Netflix. While watching a movie it froze about 7 or 8 times. I bought an ASUS router but could not get it to work with my smart TV. I spent many hours on the phone with Comcast and ASUS but could not get it to work. I returned the router and got the LINKSYS router. It was very easy to connect and I have enjoyed watching things with increased wifi. No more freezes.

I replaced my other router with this one because I needed more speed, bandwidth and flexibility of location. It pushes the signal from my (secured) homje network throughout and outside my home. I have literally exited our property and driven a good portion down the street picking up signal on my ipad. Checked this out with my IT guys before purchasing this particular one and it's well worth it!!

After thoroughly investigating replacement routers, we settled on this router as it offered all the features we felt we might need- range, speed and gaming capacity. We do not do any online gamin; however, we have grown up children that do and some of them will soon have children of their own that we are certain will do so if they follow in their parent's footsteps. We have had no issues with it to date.

Install did require a call to Linksys but they were welcoming and helpful. This device solved our connectivity issues and slow downs. Highly recommend this product.

Got it because needed good throuput. Ran speedtest was getting 100+ Mbps up and down. On Wifi it came down to 60mbps. On iPhone using ookla App got close to 150mbps

Right out the box was issues. Setup so would switch between 2.4 and 5 GHz automatically and was problematic right from the start. Found the firmware update and hoped that would help. Nope! I then changed SSID's to different ones and now randomly for the wireless devices it will boot all devices except wired without warning. Speed though is very good when it works. I have read many others having same problems. I thought I'd give it a go. New release has bugs - Linksys would fix right? We'll see.

I would highly recommend this router for beginners. Very easy to set up, Great signal. It even showed me how to set up my N router as an access point downstairs, so I get greater coverage. I hooked up an old hard drive to the router, filled it with videos & now access it through my smart TV. Share folders & programs with anybody on my network...Basically it does everything I wanted it to do...

Enjoying the strength of this router. Has helped my coverage greatly. Easy set up.
