Like I died and went to heaven
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.outstanding router, a bit pricey but had I bought it before buying the 2 wireless N's that kept causing issues with Windows 10 mistaking my private network for a public network and denying me access to my network and the internet. I also have owned it for a couple of months now without having to reset it or my modem once. Tht used to be at least a daily issue if not more often. I thought my issues were coming from my ISP but turns out it was my routers, not 1 but two different Wireless N's both top brands. AC is definitely worth the added cost.

Good router, occasional problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router has been great for the most part, but there are occasional problems. For instance. The first few days I had the router, my speeds of internet were terrible when I'd get home from work. After power cycling the router and modem, speeds would go back up, but that problem has gone away. Another issue was on occasions two nights in a row, the wired connections weren't working properly. Power cycling the router fixed those problems each time, and they haven't come back. It's been great now.

Need for speed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an array of internet devices and a had an older linksys router I thought was fast. I have been upgraded all my stuff to latest and greatest. I wondered how much of a difference this would make and I was not disappointed . It was super easy to set up and recognized all my devices with no problem except my vonage router but that's really a vonage issue. Their router even the new ones are fossils. Since it's slow anyway I routed through my old router and Wahla. Everything is online. Next step upgrade my cable modem
