Great Replacement Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently bought this router to replace my Apple one; the one before the tower(5th generation). I bought it with the two year replacement guarantee, and Geek Squad installment. I have a three story house with, two computers(one Apple and one Windows),Iphone,Ipad,and a smart tv they all get great wifi coverage.The Geeks also showed my the Linksys page so you can turn on desired settings, and see all your devices......very nice. I haven't had any problems with connectivity at all. You can still get coverage outside around the house. The price is a little steep, but wait until a sale or the holidays there's always something. Recommended!

Seems to be ok.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not to sure if it works great or not. Still testing the wireless transfer. I am having issues with latency. Don't know if the router is the caused or the cable company. My take is proper the cable company since at times, network is super fast during the none peak hours.

Super fast router. Easy setup.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for moderate home and office use. I ended up returning it because another router went on sale that was a more advanced model for the same price. No complaints on this one, I was just able to get something a little better for the same money.

Fast router - be patient with setup.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great purchase on sale. Replaced 10 yr old wifi, needed more connectivity with all of the equipment that requires wifi. Easy setup but pay attention to tips on the setup sheet. Had to turn all equipment off including the router to get it to work properly (follow sequence exactly from tips!!!). Setup with wifi requires the power down/up. Just have to read all the tips. Held me up for an hour. Not experiencing any slow down or buffering now even with 10 items connected at once.

Great Router for a Large House
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 2300 sqft house and the range on this router has been great. I haven't had any issues with signal/speed dropping out. It is easy to set up. Couldn't be happier.

Amazing fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided that my internet was too slow for the speed I was paying for. I have 200mbps, and was getting around 20-30mbps WiFi. Sales rep helped me make a decision and I couldn't be more satisfied. Getting around 150-200mbps WiFi throughout house on 5ghz network. Great purchase.

Perfect for lots of wireless internet!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a TWC cable modem, but it didn't work no matter how many times the reset the box put in a IT request so i bought a modem and router separately and they work amazing and haven't had a problem since. Also love that I can control all the settings from my computer or phone.

Perfect for my needs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went in to Best Buy looking to replace both my router and modem. After talking to one of the associates I decided I should probably try replacing just my modem to see if that helped with my speed issues. Since installing this produce my download speeds went from 8-9 mbps to over 100 mbps. This product is helping deliver the speeds I've been laying for and the associate at Best Buy sold me what I needed and nothing more. I mainly use this for Netflix, work, and general internet browsing. It's probably overkill for my needs but it handles dozen or so devices without bogging down.

Fantastic coverage and speed!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased and setup this router as we are in a new, large home and the router that we had in our condo was having a hard time getting down into the basement. The routers were located on the 2nd floor of the house and prior to switching routers, I did a speed test from my wireless computer down in the basement. My old EA2700 router was giving me 6mbps download speed, but when I installed this new router my speeds jumped to a whopping 90mbps! Considering our ISP limits us to 150mbps hardwired, I'm very happy with the speed that I'm getting from this piece of equipment!

Great Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and setup. This one does have to wall mount holes...I know the 7200 does not. So far great coverage and speeds across 15 to 20 laptops.
