Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great device. Just needed something with a little more range but this will work perfectly with most households

So far it works great. Paired it with the linksys nodes for whole house mesh WiFi

This is a great router. It supports all our WiFi needs. No more buffering in our house.

Setting this router up was easy. We haven't had any issues with it so that's a good sign.

No problem with set up and a good price. Just what needed for my house with 3 Apple streaming devices and a streaming tv

This router was installed out of the box with little troubles. Very reliable with no resets required

Solid access point, worked out really well for what we needed!

Great using this in my garage havent had any problem out of it

The Lynksys MR8300 Max Stream is a nice router, but lacks in certain areas. This router is a lot smaller than my previous one, which is nice as it doesn't take up much space on my shelve. The router comes equipped with 4 antennas, which is supposed to create a beam forming signal to said devices for better WiFi. Unfortunately, I haven't noticed this feature come in to play. Set up was fairly simple and straight forward. You will need to download the Linksys app on a smartphone in order to set up the router. The Linksys app is very well designed, and definitely one of the best apps I've seen in this category. You will be guided through every step, including naming your own WiFi band, as well as the password. The app also gives you access to see all the devices that are on the network, and lets you give priority to up to 3 devices of your choice. Once I got the router set up and working, I decided to give it a speed test. I used 3 different tests: including the one built in to the Linksys app, Speedtest by Ookla, and one provided through my internet provider. I would like to mention that I am currently on a gigabit plan, so ideally my speeds should be anywhere from 700-1000mbps. I am yet to see anyone achieve these advertised download speeds, so realistically I'm shooting for 600-800mbps. After several different tests ran, my average speeds were around 650mbps, which isn't too bad. A really big bonus to this router, is that no matter how many devices I added to the network (currently 10), the speeds stayed relatively the same. So the advertised 15+ devices with no lag, is indeed correct. Although not everything is great with this router... For instance, the range is not very good at all. Most of my devices are using the 5ghz band, which doesn't spread very far at all. For instance, my Apple TV is on the other side of the wall and the signal is pretty weak. There is a simple fix for this though. Linksys was kind enough to supply me with a node. This is basically a wifi extender that extends the WiFI throughout your whole house. So that does indeed fix the problem. Overall, the Linksys MR8300 Max Stream is a good router. With an outstanding app that was really well developed, and the ability to keep me at my top speeds while streaming in 4k — this router is a win! I would definitely recommend this to any looking for a new router.

Unit works well had some trouble connecting it to my extension but all in all it’s set up well and works well

Love this router! It is the second one I have bought, one for us and one for my parents.

Great value and easy to install with my point to point setup.

I got this to replace my Spectrum provided router. Now I have more control as to what settings I want and which devices to prioritize MAX bandwith (limit is 3 devices for prioritization. I did get this on sale for $99 and at that price is a good router if you have about 20 devices at home (light bulbs, smartphones, laptop, tablets, gaming consoles, tvs etc.) I have had no issues with this product.
