Great router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love the router and modem we purchased. Gave us such a large boost with our internet
I would recommend this to a friend Reliable, as usual for LinkSys!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very Solid router. The only complaint I have is that I wish they would make the screw holes (for hanging on a wall, etc.) BIGGER. The holes currently only accept really small screws, which typically don't have much screwing depth. As a result, when I try to hang it, I can usually get one screw to hold the unit snug, but the rest of the screws usually rip right out of the wall when you try to 'seat' it properly.

Great product, worth the money.

I would recommend this to a friend Poor Tech support from Linksys
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The router wouldn't stream properly to the new Smart TV's in my home. After about 2 minutes the audio would lead the video by about 5 or more seconds. I called the TV manufacturer and my cable company and both said there wasn't a problem with their equipment or signal. I called Linksys Tech Support and their support person couldn't understand the problem and insisted that I buy a range extender from them. I tried that and it didn't help so they escalated the support ticket and I worked with them for another week. They wanted to send me a replacement router but it was out of stock and I'd have to wait 3 weeks for a new one. Instead of waiting I exchanged the router at my local Best Buy store. After I installed it the problem was gone and I returned the range extender to Linksys for a refund. It would have be nice if the Linksys Tech Support group spoke English better and I didn't have to keep repeating myself. I also spent several hours on the phone and then I'd have to wait one day for a call back with another solution to try.
