    Well, the router is fine. We were promised by the best buy rep that this router would cover the square footage from one side of the home to the other. It does not. Sure it provides faster speed for video and more clarity on the TV; however, we bought it for internet access on the far side of the house. We wanted to purchase a repeater and got talked into a router that does not meet our needs.

    I really like the app that allows you see what’s connected to the network. App allows fast changes of guest networks for guess. Works well in our 2 story colonial house.

    This router wouldn't work properly out of the box. I was asked to set up an account to manage the router online, which I did. After that, I was unable to ever log into the router. I did several hard resets and tried doing the setup with and without creating an online account, and was never actually able to log in. Supposedly the router updated itself during the set up to the latest firmware but this didn't help things. I used to use and recommend Linksys, but since being sold to Belkin I get the impression they've gone downhill. I returned this for the Asus RT-AC87R and have been much happier with that, and it was cheaper with very similar specs.

    The sales clerk really helped me get the right one. I was looking at a smaller one and he asked how big my house was, and because he did I now have a router the services my whole house

    Linksys AC2600 - Great router

    My old Cisco was showing signs of slowing down, and areas I used to have WiFi coverage in the house were getting very spotty. So after a lot research I settled on the AC2600. Setup was easy, and navigating around 'inside' the router is simple. I have a WD Passport Ultra 1Tb HD hooked to it for network storage, and access to it is easy. This is the first router I've had I could use as a print server. Not very impressed with that, you have to install yet another program (that wants system resources) in order to access and use the printer. I only wanted to use the print server because HP printers constantly seem to lose WiFi connection for a few seconds and thought this would relieve that. Maybe this is how all routers work as a print server, but this doesn't seem like a reasonable setup. I'll stick with accessing the printer via WiFi. WiFi coverage is awesome, I have pretty much full strength throughout the house. So far I'm very happy with this router.

    After researching wireless routers for a few weeks I decided on the Linksys ac2600 from the reviews of similar Linksys routers and of this specific one. The out of the box simplicity of this router was outstanding. I also love the feature that Linksys offers to manage connectivity, etc. remotely. Even better was that I found it on sale for a very reasonable price based on other offerings I found elsewhere.

    Sony did an excellent job with this TV. They did have a problem with light bleeding on the bottom section of the TV, but bestbuy was great about exchanging it for another one.
