    We used to have problems with the internet: the router often disconnected us and the firewall did not work at all. Since we purchased this product there are no interruptions during the work day and firewall is working as it should.

    We have a large home and it was difficult to get a signal from the router to my office across the house. THe combination of the two new products has drastically changed all that and I would highly recommend them!

    I didn't know much about routers before considering this purchase and I first purchased one that was way over what I needed, but after spending a little time educating myself I discovered this one and it suits my needs perfectly.

    Needed a new router to match my new 1GB internet service. Easy set-up, less than 5 minutes after inital power up. Expanded wireless coverage in my home & fully customizable interface to control bandwidth. Great price for a great router!

    Overall, this is a good product. Good for a three bed room apartment. But, if I walk few meters away from my patio, the signal gets lost. I was expecting little more coverage area for a four antenna router.

    Great Dual Band Router

    I received this product for free as part of Belkin's Friends + Family Program. The router was a breeze to setup and didn't take much time at all. I have 10+ devices connected to the router and it has been working great so far. I haven't witnessed any performance issues when most of the devices are connected to the network and streaming movies and other content. I have a 50 up/down connection through Verizon FIOS and get more than the advertised speed. I also have my Lexar 256 GB thumb drive connected and other users are able to stream movies off of their without any issues. I also think that the 5GHz signal is a little bit better than my previous router and I get a tad bit more coverage over all. I will be keep using this router for my day to day operations at home. Overall great router but expensive in prices.

    It literally took more time taking it out of the package than setting it up. I believe I was up and running in two minutes. I've had it running for a couple of weeks now and there has been zero issues thus far.

    This is a decent router for smaller homes and a few devices. We found, however, that we needed to bump up to an AC5400 try-band. The speed difference was very noticeable when outside or with several devices.

    Solved the problem my other router was having mostly the instability of wireless signal. Had IT specialist at my office look at the problem and they were recommending expensive options. I changed the router and problems solved.

    I bought this for the wrong reason but it turned out to be positive. I bought it to replace my current router but it is actually a booster. Basically it amplified my wifi to the maximum level even with a multiple devices connected!

    This is a good wifi router for multiple device internet streaming. The range is decent but could be much better as wifi signal consistently drops at less than 20ft from router. Overall not a bad router.

    Amazing product! Super easy to configure and has unparalleled capabilities. The distance you have with this on just the wifi alone is over the top! I need two and have bought 2 of these and can't believe I used anything else.

    I really like this router. It has boosted my home network speed and has been a great upgrade to my 5 year old Linksys router. I would highly recommend this router to anyone looking to upgrade their home wifi network

    The router options are quite overwhelming. When I went to the store, the helpful salesperson assisted me in choosing a router that would fit my needs. The router was easy to set up and internet speeds are great.

    Decent router - some quirks

    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 I've always used NetGear routers, so this is my first experience owning a Linksys router. To start, the router was very easy to setup for someone like me who is tech savvy. I would say though, if you're not tech savvy, be prepared for very little documentation. The guide that comes with the router is basically pictures showing where the antennas and plugs go and that's it. There's also a CD that is a little bit more detailed but not by much. After hooking up the router, I used my laptop to connect to the default network with the default security code and was prompted to update the router's software. I didn't see any notes on what updates were and the router's web interface didn't really give a status as the router was updating, so after about 20 minutes I tried resetting the router and had to go through that process again. Once finished, using the web interface was simple. There's also a mobile application. I have an iPhone 6S Plus and using the app is easy. You can do many things from the application in regards to router administration and even checking for software updates for your router. One thing I do like is that you can (or should be able to# remotely reboot the router. I tried this a few times from the app while at work but the router did not reboot and the app didn't say either way whether this occurred or not, so that is another bug I found. Range and speed with this router have been excellent. I connected to the 5GH network and hit 154 MBPS download, 99 upload easily on my iPhone and my computer. The signal strength looks strong even in my bedroom which is about 40 feet from the router. I also have a few Apple TV's and additional smartphones in my household that were able to connect without any issue. One iPhone is having trouble and the network keeps dropping on it, but it may be a hardware issue as none of my other devices experience this. The Wi-Fi network is pretty stable for the most part. I had some issues with the Apple TV 4th generation disconnecting on the 2.4 GHz network but once connected to the 5.0 GHz network it stays connected just fine. All in all, I'm happy with this router. As mentioned above, there are a few bugs and the router could use better documentation #I didn't even know I could mount it on the wall until I looked myself, not in the documentation), but I have never met a perfect router yet and things could be way worse.

    This is one powerful machine. We had difficulties with full house wifi distribution with our three story large house. We had to do something and the choice was for power, which we got one of the best. Problem Solved!!!

    I had a < $100 wireless router which rendered a 20 gig wireless download to my laptop. With the new router I'm getting 50 gig to my laptop and 56 gig wireless to a smart TV using the 5 gig option. It's worth the money.

    Bought this near top of the line model and brought it back shortly after as it dropped the network repeatedly- sometimes 3 times an hour. Replaced it with a $49 modem that has worked like a charm.
