Great router
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for my mom since her old router was going bad. We had a pretty dramatic improvement in Wi-Fi coverage and speed. She is very happy with it.

Easy installation and it was up and running in no time. This router replaces one that was over 12 years old. Much more powerful.

Posted .Hi, Mauricio07,
We appreciate your review. This usually happens when there are a lot of devices connected to a single band all at the same time. Changing the 2.4 band's wireless channels can help minimize the traffic, the recommended channels are 1, 6, or 11. You may reboot the system after that and observe its performance. If the issue persists, email us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with your contact details, make/model of the affected devices, and the link to your review for reference. We'll have our 2nd Level Engineers investigate this further instead.
Regards,
Mara

So far so Good.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Activation was only about a month ago so use wise we are still on our honeymoon getting to know one another. There has been no immediate product failure.
I would recommend this to a friendget rid of your cable router rental!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Router allowed me to return the cable company's router and not pay a rental fee! The cost of the rental fee was more than the price of this router and the appreciable decrease in range or speed!
I would recommend this to a friendGood for few devices
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent. Had to replace because it couldn’t handle more than 4 devices at once. 1-3 works great but after that it just couldn’t keep up. So we upgraded to Eero.

Posted .Hi,
The MR8300 mesh router should be able to handle more than 3 devices. We might just need to optimize it to improve its performance. Feel free to tap us next time at LinksysCares@linksys.com should you need help with a Linksys device. Our Escalation Engineers are always on deck.
