Customer Ratings & Reviews

WAN port on previous router was going flaky. Needed to purchase new router and the future MESH network ability made this a reasonable purchase. Router must be set up through app instead of logging into router. That is why the rating is Good instead of excellent.

This is an excellent router. It takes a while to set up and you may have to call customer support, but they are very helpful and walk you through each step!

we had a 5 year old router that cell phones didnt pick up to use cell over wi-fi, even though it did allow internet use from phone. We got this one so that we could get cell over wi-fi service and it works well.

Very easy to set up with a good app. Range is better than Verizon rented gateway. Tried a node extender to support Roku Ultra but found OTA still buffered so I hardwired Roku and returned node. Goes on sale.

Very good router for the price the app for configuration can be used by a newbie or network admin all in all I am happy with this and I work in the IT industry so this is my professional opinion

After our Netgear Nighthawk started throttling our speeds, this was the perfect replacement router for us. We have had no issues and it produces high internet speeds that are perfect for gaming and schoolwork.

I was directed to this router by a computer expert. Everything that was said about the unit was true except for set up. It took several times to set up this router even following the directions. It's operation is great and I have no problems.

Very good product. Boosted my Wi-Fi signal and worked just as yes so associate advised it would. I would highly recommend this product.

Needed WiFi to set up and I bought it because my old router wasn’t working so had to find another source for WiFi. Was easy to set up once found another source for WiFi.

First router of the modern area, my last one was likely invented by cavemen. It's a big leap in technology and as long as you have a smartphone it seems to be a great router. Only time will tell for sure, but so far so good.

The Linksys AC2200 router is the Best one I have ever used. I live in a condo and have 8 devices using it. Set up was absolutely the quickest on my I Pad. I have not found any dead spots in my Condo.

The sales guy who sold me this was a little nervous and uneducated about which to buy---but together we figured things out. I'm happy with this purchase.

This router has worked very well so far. We don't have any issues with connectivity/spottiness throughout the house, which is great for working from home and not having to worry about having a weak signal.

Pretty straight forward. Easy set up via the app. Improved my house Wi-Fi overall. Still fooling around with some options, but fairly easy to figure things out. Good router.

Purchased this along with a 3 node Wi-Fi mesh system as part of an upgrade to my existing Wi-Fi hardware. All Linksys because I didn’t want compatibility issues. Also, this router and the mesh system were all on sale before Christmas.

With this router Linksys has addressed some of the drawbacks I encountered with their Velop node wifi system; a) This router has 4 ethernet gigabit ports where Velop in base node has only 1. b) This router has USB 3.0 connector where Velop node has none (although on website it states this is for future use - possibly for printer or NAS connection?) c) This router has 4 directable antennas (and 6 internal high-power amplifiers). It looks like a traditional router and can be hung on the wall, all of which cannot be done with a Velop node. As such I think this is a nice alternative/addition to the Velop node system and would recommend. In the box; Packaging is pretty much all recyclable. Router – Has 4 movable but non-detachable antennas as well as reset and power on/off buttons. It is backward compatible to 11a, b, g and n. Somewhat surprising as most new routers these days are only n and ac. Small power brick with sideway plugs and 58” cord length Cat 5e 35” ethernet cable Setup instructions are sparse so if you want to really get the specs, etc. go to linksys.com and search for mr8300. NOTE: I was also sent a Linksys model WHW01P AC1300 Velop 2 band wifi mesh extender. I don’t think this would normally be included if you purchase this router? It was easy to add to the network and worked fine. Plug is situated as to help not block other plugs if used on a wall outlet. Router has 3 bands one 2.4 and (2) 5 GHz. One of the 5GHz is used for backhaul and the other two frequencies (2.4 and 5 GHz) are used by your mesh network. It is AC2200 rated which means theoretically it can achieve wireless speeds of 2200 mbp but I believe this has stated speeds of 867 mbps for 5 GHz and 400 mbps for 2.4 GHz bands. The gigabyte ports have max speed of 1000 mbps. Pros; I am not going to go into exact speeds or range I achieved as results can be affected by what internet speed you are paying for as well as other networks in your area, your modem/equipment/devices, how your house/appt. is built etc. I will say I was very happy with the router coverage and speeds I received with my 10 wireless and several hard-wired devices/computers. Setup- was easy using the Linksys app and my Android phone. I just followed the directions in the app/setup instructions and about 20 minutes later I was up and running - with system named, password and security set and the router and mesh extender connected. Make sure you use the channel search option – it will scan for the best channel to use given traffic, etc. around you. You can set priority of attached devices – allowing you to make sure any particular device gets priority over others. Can also use app to connect to your system remotely App/software will automatically check for firmware updates. Cons; No real minuses but time will tell for reliability and using more mesh expansion. Overall a nice router for those needing a little more flexibility than a Velop node can offer. Add to that the flexibility to add more mesh nodes/extenders as needed and this unit is definitely worth a look.

Our wifi router died. We went to Best Buy to replace it and found just what we needed. We had help picking out the one that was right for our house in the price range we wanted to stay. Works great!!

My Mom installed this! She said it was really easy, just follow the instructions via the iPhone app. Hook ups to all devices was done but she did say a prayer before beginning. She has come a long way with her computer knowledge!

Easy setup, covers whole house 2500 sq. ft. with 14 connects, Gives true 4k with NO problems, ever. Don't need a ethernet cable for Sony 4k tv. This AC2200 smokes em!

Had to call Linksys for help to set up I down loaded the app but it froze the tech was just great and helped me to get connected very quickly the router is working well.
