I've had a problem when I was re-setting it to work with my other routers of it getting hung up. Unplugged, re-set and programmed again and it's worked just fine. Very strong router for my situation.

Our modem from the internet provided kept dropping Wi-Fi. Once we added this to our network we have had no issues with loss of signal.

This definitely expanded my Wifi coverage in my house. Setup could've been better but it worked. A few times I had to reboot it because it wouldn't let previous connected devices access the internet.

This replaced an older Linksys router that had been good until recently when connections would drop. This unit is really doing a great job.

We upgraded to this router hoping we would stop losing connection so much. It did improve with this, but we do have to reset the router occasionally, though not as much. Maybe this is normal.

Difficult to Set-up

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have set up five previous wireless routers, including 3 Linksys. The router was almost impossible to set-up. My son, an IT specialist, and I struggled for three hours to get this going. The no-brainer auto set-up never worked. We finally did it manually on the 8th or 9th try. Tech support never worked because we did not have on-line access, and the 800 call number was worthless.
The main problem is the set-up software requires that you establish a username/password and then blocks the internet access until you validate an email online. Well, duh, you can't verify if the access is blocked. And cell phone verification is not accepted. Ugly ...
The router operation ( after set-up) is a little weird. You can use the 2.4 Ghz low bandwidth great reception option where videos don't always work. Or you can use the 5 Ghz high bandwidth barely-tolerable reception where videos don't always work. It is a catch 22. Note: the 5 Ghz works great if you are sitting next the router.
Sorry folks, I am not a fan of this router.

Hi, Highlinerwest,
The setup process should normally take a few minutes to get the router up and running. Despite the challenges you had, we're glad to know that you were able to configure it. With regard to its wireless performance, changing the wireless channel and repositioning its antennas could help in optimizing the speed and coverage. Should you need our assistance, we can get you in touch with our Escalation Engineers. Shoot us an email at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post.
Regards,
Irish Linksys Support
