Many found the router easy to install and use, resulting in reliable streaming and great coverage.

    I bought this to piggyback off of my isp provided wifi router. Gives much better strength and range than the isp router. Reccomended for when ones router decides to drop signal every 20 minutes.

    At the store they told me this would be a great router for the size of my house and where I had it located it should have no problem reaching throughout the house. It does work a little better than my old router but still is poor when trying to FaceTime or Skype and playing certain games on my phone. It will disconnect in the middle of a call which is very frustrating. Could be the phone, but I haven't had that issue with the phone in other areas with wifi so assuming it's the router. I don't know if maybe I have to play around with the settings but I am not that tech savvy.

      Hi, CJ977,

      Your feedback is of great value and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is not the experience we wanted you to have with our Linksys EA8500 router, and we would like to take this chance to help in improving the performance of your device. To achieve maximum wireless coverage, please make sure that the firmware is updated, and we recommend to adjust the channels for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. For the 2.4 GHz wireless network, we suggest to try channels 1, 6 and 11, and channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 for the 5 GHz. It is also recommended to relocate the router in an open area, free from possible interference like metal objects, appliances, thick walls and mirrors that would block its capability to broadcast a much wider range. Should you need further assistance, get in touch with us at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this post for reference. We would be more than willing to help you out.

      Regards,
       

      Linksys Support

    This thing just runs well... its been a year and I've never had to reset it. Its pathetic you have to spend so much just to get a product that actually works. It shows you these companies purposely sell garbage.

    Overall, a good router, though a bit pricey. Works best when used in conjunction with the companion Linksys range extender as that insures a smooth and seamless experience throughout the house.

    The router was easy to set up and has worked great for the past 6 months since I brought it. My internet speed is much faster on all devices and we usually have at least 4 devices using wifi at one time.

    I recently upgraded my old D-Link wireless router to this one. It's definitely got better range and I've had little to no connection issues. The step-by-step install guide made the transition seamless.

    I hooked it up myself but cLled tech support to review that I set it up correct. Since it was an easy setup I was just looking into it too much thinking that it had to be more difficult than it really was

    This was an upgrade to my old router which was way over due and it couldn't have been easier to set up. Expanded range is great and can connect to multiple devices which is so needed with family and friends.

    I purchased this new router in the hope it would provide wireless access throughout my 2,400 square foot home. It has helped with that and I have the capability for additional functionality in the future.

    We upgraded to this from an older Linksys. The MiMo is fantastic, so much throughput. It was a breeze to setup too. I really like that I can use the app to see who is on the router too. You can't go wrong.

    Linksys - AC2600 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router. I wish the faster band had more distance since I had to use an extender. However, it is a steady performer and has made my wifi more stable.
