Still on the fence
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Linksys routers for many, many years and have not had issues with them. I am expected faster speed for more devices, but the jury is still out...Amazon Prime movies buffer and stop on my smart TV 15 feet away, but I think its an Amazon issue...Netflix is fine.

Posted .Hi, AVTom,
Thank you for the feedback. For your challenges with streaming movies through the Amazon Prime, it could be due to the speed requirement from the developer as the Netflix is working fine. However, if you continue to observe the same behavior with other sites or channels, we'll have our Escalation Engineers help you optimize the routers performance. Please notify us via [email protected] along with your phone number and the link to this post for our reference.
Regards,

I would recommend this to a friend Great for only 3 years, 4 months – now dead.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It ran great while I had it. It also had much better coverage, in my old wooden slat and plaster house, than the Comcast default wifi router. Very disappointing a $388 device only lasted this long though. I even bought the 2-year warranty.

I would recommend this to a friend Did the job for us
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Time Warner kept telling us it was our router causing the disruption in broadband service. Well, he was correct. It has been three weeks now and only one reset necessary and that was the modem, not the router. If you have an old router and have connection issues, I would recommend first trying a new multi band router. I balked at the cost but it was truly worth it.

Best Router I Have Had
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this product for free as part of Belkin's Friends + Family Program. The moment it arrived I was excited to see if would help us have better service. We live in a 2500 Sq ft home and with our old router we had to use an extender, and we still fought over who could be using wifi at the same time. This router solved all of our issues. No extender needed. The installation was super easy and immediately I knew we would be thrilled with the router. My oldest plays COD on Xbox one, my middle son plays Destiny on Xbox One, at the same time one or both are listening to you tube videos on phone. My daughter is down the hall on FaceTime with her friends while streaming pandora on her phone. My husband is at the end of the house streaming Netflix on the tv. I am uploading recipes and pictures to my website. All of this goes on and the router does not miss a beat. No one is lagging, videos aren't buffering, and no one is fighting to get someone off the internet. My phone switches off wifi to data if the signal is not stable, not once with this router has my phone switched to data. That alone saved our cell phone bill this month. For a house our size and the amount of people using wifi, this router performs far better than any of our previous 8 routers. Before this router I kept blaming Comcast for our lack of signal and service in the house.
