    When asked for help to choose a router that would work for us we were directed to one that was over $300 and told that it was only one in store that would do what we needed. We’ll, after I did my own research I found this one and it worked perfectly for a lot less. This linksys AC2200 router connected to all of our devices, including external drives in less than 10 minutes. It was simple to set up and connected perfectly. I just wish the employees in the store would have known enough about their products to help out with the purchase then my daughter wouldn’t have had to sit in parking lot for an hour while I researched which one to buy.

    My Comcast gateway was going out, so I picked this up along with a modem. My wifi range has extended noticeably and I love the parental controls built in and easily controllable with the free app!

    I have a 2200 sq foot spreading home. The router is in an office on one side. It has better WiFi coverage through my home than the previous rental tower provided rental by my high speed internet service. Very happy!

    We needed a boost from our modem/router provided by our internet service. I read numerous reviews and purchased this when on sale. It works as advertised and has filled the gaps in our house.

    We bought this to replace the router that the AT&T company gave us. It works great. Finally, we can use our Internet without it glitching or giving us problems. I’ll say it has worked wonders.

    This router is very easy to set up, just download the Linksys app and connect the cord. It’s that simple. Hardest part is coming up with the password.

    I was a long time user of another company's routers but the build quality seems to have gone downhill. This linksys was easy to set up and has been solid for work/school from home so far.

    So far so good and full coverage on all the area’s of my house, and don’t even need another mesh system to get a full signal. Just make sure you have a CAT 6 cable to get the best signal from the modem.

    I replaced a modem router dual set up I had going. I bridged the old modem router to specifically use this for my wifi and it made all the difference. I went from speeds of 10mb down to now averaging 110. No more buffering

    Linksys Has Lost a Life Long Customer

    |

    Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Here's the quick backstory. I have a relatively small house, about 1200 square feet. I currently have a Linksys EA7200 that's a bit old, so I'd figured I's upgrade and mess with the new routers. First I bought the new Atlas 6 mesh system, as discussed, speeds were far below the EA7200 and connections issues with the mesh network - see that review. I thought moving back to a more expensive WiFi 5 router might offer better coverage. I set it up, same spot, same settings etc. and tested. Near the router and on LAN, same speeds, however at other areas of the house the signal dropped by 50-70% comparatively. For example, I was getting 100-115 Mbs it a top room with the EA7200, with the 2200 is was 35-45 Mbs. Same results around the house. Extreme drop off of signal strength. Lastly, Linksys has decided to move everyone to an online app to manage their router. For over 20 years, I've always managed through 192. ip. While it is still possible, the interface is very restrictive and difficult to manage. I would have thought, that while the app might be nice for the average person, network savvy people would like a more robust local interface. Not to mention, many options are locked or not available (band with, signals, etc). So in conclusion, Linksys has decided to create subpar products compared to event their recent models and limit router management without the app. I've only recommended Linksys to everyone I know, including setting friends an family up with them. Never again, Linksys you have lost a +20 year customer.

    Great improvement over just the modem/router from Comcast. Especially now with all the teleconferencing and streaming TV, this was essential to keeping our household happy and functioning. If it lasts, it will be a 5 star.

    Setup instructions missing key piece of information, you will need the SSID and password from the bottom of the router to connect your phone and finish setup. Other than that, works great. No connection issue or dropped wifi.

    I purchased this router to further expand my network. I originally had 2 Linksys Velop nodes, and this is the only router compatible with them. Setup was extremely easy and I am completely satisfied with this router.
