    Difficult to Set-up

    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,

    Mobile app is very good and easy to you. Rated it 4/5 since disconnecting a connected device in mobile app is not possible. Otherwise, very happy with it.

    I have not noticed any changes in WiFi speed with this device. But installation was super easy and the app on the phone to control and monitor use is great.

    If I could only get my ISP to be as reliable as this router. It is nothing fancy in terms of design but setup and web monitoring works as expected.

    Performance is great however took a lot of effort for me to install. Im also very technical and for somebody that does not know anything about networks, this would have been a bad choice.

      Hi, Amos24c,

      We're curious about your challenges in setting up the EA7500 router. Supposedly, setting up this device should always be fast and easy using the Smart Setup Wizard. It is embedded in the firmware and is available even if the router does not have an Internet connection or is in its default settings. For clarifications and assistance, don't hesitate to email us at [email protected]. Our Escalation Engineers are more than happy to assist you.

    If you need to upgrade your router to take advantage of all the devices you may be running, i.e. notebooks, tablets, cell phones, streaming etc, this is a great dual band, 4 channel system!

    Have a 1600 sqft house single story. I use the router for Amazon/Roku sticks and tablets. I continue to lose connection. I have used the app to designate which connections get priority. I look at this on my phone and compare to the priority on my tablet and the assignments are different. So i dont think that is working properly. Should be the same assigned unit, regardless if i use my phone or tablet to change the assignment. Not real satisfied, lesson learned. Will probably try a different brand next time.

      Hi,

      It is possible that the range extender may be too far from the main router. We suggest that you relocate your extender slightly closer to make sure that it has a strong connection from the main router. Get in touch with us at [email protected] and we'll have our Second Level Support team assist you with further isolation.

      Don't forget to include your contact details and the link to this post as a reference.

      We hope to hear from you soon.

      Regards,

      Thaddeus
