So far so good! Second Linksys router owned.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My previous router was an AC dual band, with a dual core processor, speeds up to 1300 mbps (for the AC frequency on 5ghz channel). This Linksys is a quad-core processor, with 3 bands, speeds up to 2.2 gbps. I decided that it was the need to upgrade and have this. I have owned once a Linksys WiFi router previously about a decade ago (the old WRT54G model, which became popular then) and thereafter since our provider speeds were going faster and wireless technology changing, we upgraded to other routers that were not the Linksys brand. This year we decided to go with Linksys again. Setup was easy at first using the Linksys app which is to be simple. Though, I have read some reviews that says that you cannot access the router configuration through a web browser, on your mobile phone that is, which is true (it will just keep telling you to download the iOS or android app). However, you can go to your computer or tablet, and point your browser to the usual 192.168.1.1 address configure from there with more advanced options. You can create an account to login (new users get a 15% off promo code emailed), or put in the recovery code which is on the base of the router itself. I managed and prefer to always have my 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz channels named separately so I can choose which band to connect to. But, the Linksys exclusive app itself is not bad at all, and more simplified, but not much advanced options like splitting your 2.4 and 5 ghz channels. I did do two speed tests, before with my older router and after with the newer router. I must say, results may vary and that you may have something different, and rather not hold this accountable, but there did show a 50mb gain (and we have Comcast xfinity 400mb tier internet speed, with the appropriate modem). Of course I ran the speed tests three times to be sure. I believe the 3rd band (or second 5ghz channel) does help and especially with the quad core processor. Not much difference between my old router and this routers performance, but played multiplayer games online as well as 4K streaming on Netflix, overall a smooth experience without lag. My Linksys router did include an additional Mesh WiFi extender, which you simply plug into and outlet. But I haven’t set it up at this time. Our house isn’t a 2 or 3 story, but a simple one story. It may come in handy if we would desire to have our mobile devices connect if we were to be outdoors either front or backyard.

Easy setup but shorter range than previous router
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace a router that died the day after I started working from home. It was easy to set up and I was hoping to love it but it didn't seem to have nearly as good of a range as our previous wifi router. I took it back and bought a NetGeat Orbi AC3000 (RBK50) router with two satellites. It's not a fair comparison since my new system has two satellites but I am very happy with the coverage and speed of the Orbi. BTW, if I had an apartment or much smaller home, this would probably be a great router. It really worked well, but I just couldn't get a good signal in parts of my house.

Does this even work?

Linksys wireless router
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Router was a bit harder to set up than expected. Phone app was confusing. Found the router had to be mounted higher than expected to get useable speed . Probably would not buy again.
