Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had an old router in my condo that was not working properly. My building is made of concrete and steel and it's hard to get a good Wi-Fi signal. I thought I maybe I would have to spend more money and upgrade the internet speed. Instead, one of the Best Buy salespeople recommended I try this router. It works like a dream and I don't have to upgrade my internet speed. There are 3 of us in the condo on Netflix and using computers/laptops and one playing video games. I highly recommend this router and that is my honest opinion.

This router is good for homes over 2000 sq ft. I have had no problems getting internet signal throughout my 3000sq ft home!! Definitely worth the money.

we saw an immediate increase in speed even with all 5 grandkids, and 8 adults all running phones, pads, laptops and desk computers at the same time

The Linksys AC1900 was extremely easy to set up and connect. Very pleased with speed and wifi distance with this router.

It's working well for streaming internet TV and covers all of my house, though dicey in the garage. Solved that with an inexpensive range extender.

Best thing about it is you can go on your own Wi-Fi while rest of the household is on another. Very nice router at an affordable price.

We purchased this as we had too many devices on our old router. This router took care of our WiFi and handles all our devices well.

I like it because it's wide adapt to make everything work perfect in my house throughout each bedroom and the living room it works perfect

This is a good extender and helps my son with gaming and we can watch Netflix with minimal buffering. We have satellite internet and this has boosted our signal.

This router is better than my last one. The TV downstairs connects easily, the one upstairs is more hit and miss. I need to research steps to help the signal make it upstairs consistently.

performed as advertised; signal strength significantly improved into basement areas of house, also supports multiple streaming devices at once.

This is a great product. The range is so good. Iv tried other products and this one worked the best with a multilevel and width of house.

Easy hook up and has fantastic range. Unit is in my office and I stream in my bedroom on the other side of the house!!!! Great Reception!!!

I am please with this purchase. Best Buy you rock! My WiFi problem is solved. Looking foreward to shopping from you again.

It was very easy to set up! My husband & I are not very Techy, but we were able to do this without much hassle.

I’ve owned many routers over the years and this by far has the best range and stability. I haven’t had to reboot it since I bought it.

Very easy to set up and install. Had no trouble with start up. Immediately improved my Wi-Fi signal which is much more consistent now.

Faster, better coverage than my previous router. Automatically enters setup mode on power up, but getting out of aided set up mode to customize settings takes significant effort.

This is my first Linksys router in a long time. I've been using a D-Link for about 6 years now and before that I can't even remember. While I do miss a couple of things from my D-Link, this is a great router overall that you will probably use for a long time. It's got loads of useful features. Beamforming technology: I get coverage over my entire house (have yet to find a dead spot) over both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz bands. The signal strength seems strong for all our devices no matter where we are. I'm even able to connect strongly to my smart TV downstairs with the 5 ghz band where my older router could not. Smart Wi-Fi App: I love this feature particularly. Being able to access (most) of you routers setting via an app is extremely convenient. You can see who is on, which devices are connected, set priorities, access controls including parental and guest as well as remotely reset your router. I was troubleshooting a small issue I had with one of my devices and it came in real handy. External Storage: You can connect a USB storage device to the router and access those files from any device. This will be great for when we have family over and we want to share/trade pictures with everyone without having to email or text. This is also pretty nifty for personal use just among the people of your home in general. As for other features, I game a lot and the connection has been smooth on my Xbox One, so they are true to their word there. As for the big feature though, MU-MIMO technology, I do not yet have devices that utilize this. But I know when I do in the future, I have faith it will perform as promised. The set-up was extremely easy and the settings menu is just as simple. It utilizes widgets on the side that you can customize to quickly access certain things which is a nice touch. Things are pretty clean and straightforward, however its simplicity is also where my only issue lays. My D-Link had loads of settings you could change for various things. Even if you're the average user and didn't need a lot of them, they were still there if you did. There didn't seem to be nearly as many settings with the Linksys. Now this is only an issue if you are looking for such things. I suppose all the average person ever needs this router has it. Besides this, they had loads of documentation that explained what each and every little thing did where you would never really need to search the internet for an explanation. This is where this router fails to me. The documentation disc is pretty useless and explains hardly anything and the 'help' menu in the settings leaves a bit to be desired. Some things it explains, others you are expected to either just know or look up to find out if it would even apply to you. My D-Link also gave me a list of individual signal strengths in terms of strength and speed in MBs with all currently connected devices. I really wish I could see that connection information on the Linksys devices page. Initially, I was going to give only 4 stars because of these things but everything else is so great that it really outweighs the bad. This is more of a situational issue for the most part anyway and information can always be found online. Lastly, although be-it a minor issue, I feel the adapter could be a bit sturdier. It has a bit of heft that makes me fear when plugged into my surge protector it might pull up and come loose. It seems more built to plug directly into an outlet but that's not always feasible. Some people may find something like this worth noting although it isn't a big deal to me so far.

Purchased this product for my new home since cable company did not supply modem. Must say, it works PERFECTLY A Very Happy customer here
