Solid Router with Tech that isn't Rewarding

3.5 out of 5, rounding up.
For starters, everyone needs, at least, an AC capable router in their household, and an AC-1900 is the one (power-wise) that I'd recommend everyone get their hands on.
Now, is the Linksys EA7500 right for you? Read on to find out.
At the 199.99 price point, there is a lot of competition for routers. Specifically, the AC-1900 crop. The newest addition of these routers is the Linksys EA7500. The specs alone top most other routers in its class (processor, RAM, etc, everything outclasses most others'), and as such you might expect it to be the best out there.
Not quite.
I'll start with the PROS: the biggest one is ease of set up. Seriously, this thing was a breeze to set up and run. Also, super simple to change settings once set up. If you like no hassle, I'd say this is the one you're looking for, straight up. Next, the range. It's great. I have a 1200 sq. ft. apartment and it covers the entire thing, while also reaching about 200 feet away while I'm outside. Third, the tech specs underneath the hood. The processor, RAM, etc. all make it willing and able to take on any task you through at it, without a hiccup. This is good. It's a dual-band router, so it has both 2GHz and 5GHz band, to support old and new devices alike.
Now, the bad. This thing is huge. It's probably 16 inches by 8 inches (I honestly didn't measure) and since it has to lay flat (not wall mountable), that is a factor some may need to consider. It only has one 3.0 USB port, which is sup-par what others pack with their technology.
However, the biggest gripe of all was the MU-MIMO (Multiple User - Multiple Input Multiple Output) promise. While this sounds great (and I'm sure it will be in 2-3 years, when devices actually support this), it didn't perform nearly as it should've. I had connection problems galore when I tried to run some stress tests using both computers, phones, or my gaming systems. I even couldn't connect some times with friends online because of the routers filtering settings. And while, yes, you can change all of these settings, you shouldn't HAVE to do that. The router should for you.
Everything considered, it's a great router. 3.5 out of 5 starts, with potential though. I'd recommend it, but I'd definitely consider your options first.

I bought this a short time ago & it seemed to work okay but returned it & spent just a few more dollars & got a Tri-Band instead. Did like the idea of usb2 & usb3 ports which the Tri-Band has only usb3 but never really got a chance to try them. Nothing wrong with this one just wanted a better one.

If you are looking for a wifi router with the newer technology, this is the one. I live in a 2 story house and used to have to add a wifi range extender because the signal could not get to the rooms downstairs. This one gives out the best signal ever and covers the whole house all the way out to the curb.

My wife and I love this router. It was very easy to set up. I love gaming and this is perfect. It allows my wife to be online and watch videos, kids all can be on there tablets watching videos and I can game without any loss.
I have an asus router and with the Linksys, I get about 5 ping less in games then my asus.
range is decent as well. maybe a bit wider range would be great, but its the same as my asus.
I love that I can control the router with my phone as well. can see if kids are on, can set parent controls and all.
The size is a little larger then most routers, but it seems to feel much cooler then my asus did. surprised as asus is known to be cool.
priced at 200$ and I think it is well worth that price. I had the router that comes when you get service and it would not even allow us to reach our speeds we were paying for. We are paying for 10 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. This router reaches those speeds and maintains those speeds even with multiple devices connected.
if you are a gamer, or watch videos, and especially if you share the internet with others, this router is for you.
