Nice Router
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced an old Belkin N150 which served my parents needs for many years, recently they upgraded the modem/service and needed a new router to accommodate the higher speeds. This router works great and was easy to set up. Plus, it was $100 off which made it a good buy.

GREAT Router!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The router provided by the cable company was very poor. The construction and reliability were poor. Since we bought the Linksys router our home network has been great! The cable company was also going to charge monthly if I needed repeaters, I can add repeaters to this for one charge and not be paying for equipment I don't own. Great Router, Great Price and expandable!!!

Works better than advertised
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched a lot of routers and extenders but this one by far is the best I’ve had. It’s better than advertised and it can hold up to 15-20 products with my Modem. I thought about bridging it to work as my primary, but it’s pre-programmed to handle whatever you throw at it based on priority and the way the product functions. Glad we got it!

A Great Wireless Router
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a fast, dependable replacement router for my older model that was failing. This one meets my needs very well! Two wireless networks, four wired ports, wide whole-house coverage! All I needed for my various devices throughout the home. Great on board system for setting it up and securing it too. Thanks BestBuy!

USB Problem
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy was very good through this purchase and return. Ordered it Tuesday and received it Wednesday. Returned in on Friday. Reason: If you want a router with USB capabilities this is not the one. After the initial set up I could not get it to work at all. I checked and it did have the latest firmware. I reset the router and went through the whole setup process again. I finally was able to use the USB drive only to have it disappear while copying files. It just vanished or lost connection. I reset it again and was able to use it for about 10 minutes before it disappeared again. Tried rebooting and turning the router on and off and then called Linkysys support and confirmed that I had tried everything that they would have done and that it was most likely a machine problem. The WiFi set up is average. The coverage and range are very good. I gave it a 3 because the WiFi portion is good but the USB is a problem with this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Linksys Staff
Posted .Hi wd57,
We appreciate the time in posting a review. However, the setback you encountered with the USB feature was far from the expected. This might have something to do with the file format supported by the USB storage. We could've tapped our Escalation Engineers to run further diagnosis and check what have caused the setback. We are still thankful you've given the unit a try. Should you have any Linksys devices in the future and need a helping hand, please don't hesitate to get in touch at LinksysCares@linksys.com.
We're eager to help!
Regards,
Carl

Works great, very pleased!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this router and a two pack of linksys velop tri-band nodes. They work very well together. I did have to change the placement of the nodes after my initial setup, but the whole house is well covered now. I feel that the app is very user friendly and useful. I've only had the router hooked up for about a week, but initial impressions are very positive.

Great product! Easy installation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router was highly recommended by the owner of a computer repair shop. I had been using a Netgear N150 router for the past 8 years until it gave up on me. I was shocked how easy the installation was. I used the Linksys app and it was a breeze. I bought it 3 days ago and so far, it has been an awesome experience: no drops in connection, fast and reliable!

Great Router - easy to set-up
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love how easy it was to set-up. Both the App and the web site provide very clear instruction on how to set-up and allow you to modify security settings as well as identify all users of the router. So far it has reached every room in house, without having to add a node!! Looking to see if this continues to work well for streaming tv in multiple rooms.

Reliable, fast nice app interfaces
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought and returned 2 different routers before sticking with this one.. no dropped WiFi connection, no random dropped Ethernet lag spikes. Happy with purchase. The app for setup is pretty easy and straight forward and lets you do just about anything a user would want from right on your phone. Device prioritization, port forwarding, family controls etc.

Linksys AC2200 wireless router
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The router has worked very well and hasn’t caused one issue so far. The web setup was somewhat confusing and limited in what you can do in the setup. I would prefer having more control to fine tune the firewall and other settings. I am not using the mesh capabilities at the time as the coverage is good in my house.

replaced my main Velop with this router
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have multiple Velop nodes in the house. But I wanted to add an attached USB drive to the network. Purchased this because it has USB ports. I then reset all my Velop nodes to connect to it an have great signal strength and a new network attached storage device.
