    So far no issues. Easy to install. I have not used USB-attached drive feature. The only reason for 4-stars is that it is not compatible with dd-wrt software. I would prefer the flexibility of using of using alternative PD software. Great range and through-put,

    After installing this router in my upstairs bedroom I was amazed to find that my internet seed was equally fast in my room, in the living room downstairs, on my roof, and over across the street. I ran a few speed tests and found that my speed was consistant weather I was hooked up to wifi, hardwired to the router, or connected to my complex's network directly. No more bottleneck in this house!

    My internet WiFi signal didn't seem to be performing like I was expecting So when I got to Best Buy I explained my issue and the associate told me that I needed a 2nd generation router. He recommended this one which happened to be on sale. I hooked it up at home and all of a sudden I was getting the internet speed I was paying for. Very easy to set up as it took about 10-15 minutes. There was no need to call support.

    I am able to save money on my comcast bill with this router. It was very easy to set up and all 8 of devices are able to connect and function properly with no lack in speed that was is really noticeable. I am able to change the password(s) and setup a guest password. I also like that I can see what device are connected to the router and check the speed performance through the website. Sometimes I am unable to connect to the internet in back of my house, I may be in need of an extender and that may not be a router issue. I will update this review when I find out about the extender.

    I purchased this router for my mom. She needed/wanted a good router for her new condo. I did a lot of research prior to the purchase, but I also read Best Buy reviews as well. We have both been extremely impressed with the stability and performance so far. There have been ZERO issues. The added bonus is that the set up was by far the easiest I've used for a new router. My fairly computer illiterate mom even followed easily. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

    Did a lot of looking, reading and research, decided this was the router I wanted, got it on sale and have been very pleased since. I stream PlayStation Vue through my Amazon FireTV along with Netflix and have no issues. The signal strength is excellent reaching all of my 1800 square foot home with it place at one end of the house (I didn't want to have to run the extra cables). I still receive almost full strength wifi on all of my devices.

    We had a 10 year old Linksys WRT-G router that recently burned up, so off to Best Buy we go. We looked at a few models, but I had my mind and heart set on another Linksys. We got this one because my mother owns one, and I found that one easy to set up and work with. This model is great for gaming, browsing, streaming, and connecting a ton of devices to to do the same. Can't recommend it enough.

    I've had this a couple months and haven't had any issues. We have 4 phones 2 playstations and 4 computers connected to it and i haven't experienced any lag as i did with my previous unit. Set up took less than 5 minutes. This was a big deal for me because i ordered the nighthawk AC1900 and could not set it up even after calling both the manufacturer and cable company.

    I bought this to upgrade the cheap router my ISP gave me, and I definitely recommend it. The setup was easy and was almost plug and play. If you are a little more tech savvy, this router is very full featured and the companion app is very helpful. My only complaint is that I wish it had more Ethernet ports. Otherwise, it's a great router, and the signal strength is amazing. I don't have a single dead space in my whole house.

    Buying a router is never easy. Every brand is on the same level when it comes to whole home WiFi. I have a 2200 sqft home and this worked perfect. There is a stronger version than this but you really don’t need that much. I also recommend changing to heavier duty network adapters that can handle 1000/mb. They sell the everywhere. It made a world of difference.
