This was supposed to be an upgrade to my Linksys EA6400 which broke. But it seems to be slower and I lose wifi more often. Disappointed so far.

It works good but does not have a big range to make it work in areas away from my office I had to purchase an extension to go with it.

Worked great for about 3 weeks now it keeps glitching and coming off network. Have had to reset at least twice a week

I received this router about a week ago. The box included the router, AC power cord, three antennas, quick start guide, and set up disk. I had been using a Belkin router, and always felt it was fast enough. I quickly found I was wrong. I set up the router, plugged it in, turned it on, and and installed the set up disk into the computer. Set up was a breeze, I just clicked onto the new router network, put in the included password, and followed the directions. Total time spent, about five minutes. After getting it set up and changing the password, I decided to put it through its paces. There are a couple of options when you select the network, you can select guest, normal network or 5GHz network. I selected the 5GHz. First test was using my macbook, very fast, lightning fast actually, at least 4 - 5 times faster than my last router. First test was great. Next came streaming Netflix, again very fast. The navigation is almost instantaneous. I then decided on the big test. We have 4 Roku boxes and all stream different videos many times. I had everyone log on to netflix and find something to watch. Once we were all streaming, I got my phone and 2 tablets and started surfing the web. Everything was fast, no interruptions on any device. Now everyone can use the internet at the same time and suffer absolutely no slowdowns. I can finally use the maximum potential of the internet service I pay so much for each month. I recommend this router with the highest recommendation I can. Easily the fastest I've used, easy to set up and easy to use.

I’m actually going to be returning this. It worked great at first but now after 2 weeks I’m having to reset it once a day.

I had not heard of MU-MIMO technology prior to researching this router. Specifically, this router uses 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO, which stands for Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output. This is intended to ensure uninterrupted Wi-Fi connectivity to multiple devices in a home network, as if each device had its own dedicated router. Thus, multiple individuals in the household can play video games, listen to music, stream movies, etc., all at the same time without buffering or lag. In order to reap the benefit of this feature, however, the individual devices need to be compliant with the MU-MIMO standard. It is expected that the majority of new devices will incorporate this, and in the meantime, Linksys does make a USB adapter that will render a computer compliant. But for now, this router is simply a very good traditional router. Setup is super easy; plug it in, turn it on, go to the Linksys web portal to assign the SSID and password, and you are done. I simply assigned my previous SSID and password, and all of my household network devices automatically connected to the 5gHz network. I did have to reboot my wireless printer, but that was the extent of the hassle. The range is stellar! I can achieve the same maximum download speed at distances of 10 feet and 200 feet from the router, through walls and floors. I have never had such good signal reception from a router before. The usual Linksys management options are all there: guest networks, parental controls, USB storage, etc. I like the idea of having my own home network drive that I could access from anywhere, but I already use OneDrive for this. The only negative thing I can think of about this router is the size; it is larger than many simple routers, and needs to lie flat, thus occupying a substantial footprint. I have my device tucked in behind my flat screen TV monitor, so I don’t see it at all. The TV does not seem to attenuate the router signal. So, I am happy with this device, knowing that I am “future proofed” for new network devices that will be compliant with MU-MIMO in the coming years.

The router works for me because my internet is not the high speed one, and even though it still spools from time to time...

Needed to return was not working . They had none . Best buy was great was able to upgrade to the 2600 which I am very happy with

Switching over to a new wifi router proved to be not just a needed upgrade, but now a way of life changer. The Linksys EA7500-AC1900 met all my expectations with the demands of various devices that are shared on our network. From uninterrupted dual streaming video games in the upstair room, to the three tablets that my children play, to my online karaoke experience mirroring my phone's AirPlay. By the way no more lag time and interruptions during my singing, and that's what makes music to my ears.

It’s range is limited. If you have a two story house I don’t recommend this product.

I have a gigabit connection, and for the past month, I have had slow speeds. when first bought, my speeds were around 400Mbps on 5g. Now 65, unless I reset the router back to factory settings. Constant, interruptions in service and resets makes this router a purchase I will be returning.

Installation was simple but router only lasted me a year. I expected more of a lifespan for That brand.

I bought this new router because I had spilled some water on my old one and needed to replace it. I decided to go for this one because of its promise for "whole house" coverage. Well, I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and it is without a doubt worse than the $40 router I had in here previously. It does have a guest network which is neat, but overall it is NOT worth the money.

We purchased this router on January 18, 2018. Yesterday, June 29, 2019, out of nowhere, the router stopped working. We called and paid for an extension on the warranty to have a Linksys rep trouble shoot for us. Turned out the Internet port on the router was no longer taking in the signal from our internet. The rep told me we purchased this unit before my actual purchase date (which is listed right here at Best Buy in my account proving her false). I was on hold for 50 min at midnight, waiting for a rep to take my call, therefore I did not think to log into my account here proving my purchase date as I knew the date she gave me was wrong. I don’t think it would have mattered anyway as they only warranty a year. There are only two of us living here. For this price, this should have lasted years. Our prior router was 8 years old and cost 1/3 of the price of this router. I would not purchase again.

I replaced a 5 year old router and I haven't seen any difference in the speed or coverage like I was expecting.

Not happy at all. At least once a week router stops communicating and has to be powered off to reset.

I needed to get something quick and relied on the salesperson (who wasn't really qualified as he just read the boxes as I could also do.) He even made one recommendation based on the number of antennas Well, my bad. The signal is so undependable! Always re-booting which seems to get it corrected for less than a day. Will be looking into eero or something similar

after connecting the router, i did notice a little improvement with our internet speed

equipment did not come with a power cord and I have spent hours and $71.00 locating and ordering one.

Software and hardware is great; however, when you need to update the unit it will limit the ethernet speeds to 30 megs (Usually average 110). I was told by a Linksys representative, in order to fix the issue I have to reset it? Turns out the router needed to be reset every 2 weeks. Returned it for an Apple Airport unit which has been working much better since.
