Do Not Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this router 3 times and all 3 wouldn't work. They would work for a few hours and then nothing. I talked to Linksys support and because it is a new model they didn't know how to troubleshoot the issues and told me to return it. After the third return Linksys sold me there too in router for about $50 less than this one. I would avoid this router until they at least have the firmware upgrade ready.

Posted .Hi, Funtimes,
It's good to know that you find the setup process easy. As for the range, we can optimize the wireless settings of the router by setting fixed channels on both networks. Our Escalation Engineers would love to assist you in making sure that you are getting on what is expected from this unit. Please email us your contact information at LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to this review.

Awesome product, fast streaming!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sweet product, great features, easy to setup as primary or slave access point. Highly recommended over Netgear.
I would recommend this to a friendGood overall but annoying issue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its great that you can set up 4 different networks on this router. Also like the available options the firmware provides. One annoying issue I have been experiencing is that, one of my devices will suddenly display an exclamation point next to one of my networks and say internet not available. I fix this by switching from my 5ghz connection back to my 2.5ghz connection. It happens about 1 time a week. Other than that, this router is great.
