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

    We had to upgrade our router due to a new 4k tv. It can keep up with most of our electronics but lags a little when we have multiple things running at once. Otherwise it's been nice.

    I have a small network in a rural area that is not consistent. That made the wireless signal in the house iffy at best. The Linksys 2600 dual band router fixed that problem. It was money well spent.

    There was a problem with the firmware during setup but was able to return and replace the next day. Setup was a breeze and resulting speeds were augmented by an increase/upgrade to our data speed.

    Wifi bands and features are nice. Noticed that 5GHz range does not reach very far (but that's due to the band and not necessarily the router itself). Unfortunately, the router died after 30 days of use. Luckily Best Buy was amazing and let us exchange it for another one (due to manuf. warranty). Hopefully this one lasts longer. For the price, I expected longevity and stability...we'll see...

    After replacing my old router with this Linksys I noticed an increase in speed on all of my devices. From the Xbox to the laptops all the way to the smart phones. Why did I wait so long?

    This router was easy to set up and has been very dependable, replacing one that had to be restarted every few days. This one has not been restarted in over a month! The only drawback is the cost.

    I got this router to replace my Netgear N900 router. The difference in N versus AC is very significant. The 4x4 MIMO also allows everybody in the house to connect at fast speeds.

    I needed something to offer enough signal now that my home has so many demands of wifi. The previous unit kept failing and this new one really has taken care of consistent signal and no failures.

    Purchased to replace an old router. Works great, signal reaches further than my last router. No issues so far. Upload for my photos is quick and the family is happy. I would recommend this router.

    Throughout our almost 4000 square-foot, 3 story house there were some spots that Wi-Fi was weak or nonexistent. With the Linksys Max stream those issues were taken care of. Set up was easy...

    I bought this for a replacement on my old wifi unit. It was easy to set up and manage to keep the same account from the previous model. I love the built in controls that u can do from your phone app.

    Previously had a Belkin router which dropped the signal too often. This one is great. Main router is in the basement. This one is on the second floor and all three kids watch Netflix with no issues.

    Very easy set up but had issues on first attempt as wireless signal kept dropping the PCs. Reset the device and started from scratch. No issues since setting it up the second time.

    This was easy to set up and get running. Straight out of the box, it took about 15 minutes to set it up and connect all devices. Would definitely recommend to a non-techie to purchase and install.

    I bought two of these "DIR-3060", and tried to set up a mesh network using a gigabit ethernet backhaul line. The quick start guide and manual have no instructions on how to properly set them up as a mesh, only as a standalone router. After 45 minutes on the phone with tech support, it was also clear that they have no idea how to mesh network them together. They claim it is possible but had no idea how to do it. They were just telling me the usual basic stuff, restart the device etc...

    The AC 2600 router setup was probably the easiest I've ever had. I've always had to use a range extender to get service upstairs, but with the AC 2600 I have service without an extender.

    It was time to upgrade as I was only registering 8 or 9 down. This speed has made it possible to now use laptop, IPad, IPhone, wireless printer effectively and efficiently simultaneously.

    would give it a 5 but I had to move the router to my main floor to fix intermittent rebuffing issues on my TV upstairs. once that was done this thing has been perfect.

    Upgraded from older technology. Speed does seem faster as well as more devices share that speed on the home network. Would like to try the links us router for 399. Looks like a monster lol
