Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router is a powerhouse! The wifi signal is so much stronger and goes much further than my old Linksys router did. I love the user friendly interface and the ability to attach a USB 3.0 hard drive for shared storage space. I like the 4 directional antennas, too. To sum up this product in one word, awesome!

Plug'n'played!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Linksys Wi-Fi Router box had everything I needed to plug'n'play on my Wi-Fi network. Connected to the cable modem and followed the easy start up instructions that came with the router and all worked without a hitch. My download speeds increased by 100% and achieved the speeds that the cable company promised.

Simple but Powerful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the easiest routers that I have had to set up and works great. I was having trouble getting a strong enough wifi signal in the farthest room to use my iPad with my Slingbox with my previous wireless router. It has been much better, although not perfect with the Linksys. I have 8 units connected to it.

Great Performance For Multi-device Homes
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most routers drop Wi-Fi 3+ times a day in homes with video streaming and 10+ devices. This router is up for the job

Easy set up but guest wifi not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was very easy to set up this router and connect my equipment and devices. I especially like the different bandwith options. I wanted the guest network but not sure how much I will use it as it requires one to open a browser first. This is not a true guest network.

Excellent WiFi Router

It is no better than cheap $40 ones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I knew I had to spend hours to hook it up to the intenet, I would not buy it. Once you plug in the Ethernet cable to inlet you should not expect your outlets to be live. You have to power cycle your modem and this sh...t. Again you think you solved the problem but you r wrong. You need to repeat this 10 times and hope one time it gets connected to the Ethernet. If each power cycle takes 5 min, 10 times mean you wasted already 50 min. Once it recognizes the Internet it works ok. If for any reason you have intruption the.you need to repeat what I said.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Linksys Staff
Posted .Hi. Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re really sorry for all the challenges that our router has caused you. The router’s connectivity will actually depend on the modem. Have you checked if the internet from your modem is steady? It is also best that you try reset the router if this happens again. Should you need further help, you can email us at [email protected]. Please include your contact details, location and a link to this review in the email. We hope to hear from you the soonest.

Excellent signal strength
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product was recommended for the extended reach that I needed in my house. The unit is located at the front of the house on the second floor,approximately 100 feet away. The signal is so strong I can still use the wireless connection in my back yard, an additional 100feet from the house.
