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

    This doesn't add any noticeable speed to my internet, but it extends the range.

    It works okay. The antennas need adjusting and to be fiddled with.

    I received this product for free as part of Belkin's Friends + Family Program. The Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router is amazing! I absolutely love the speed I was able to get from this router! I had a pretty good router before but noticed a significant increase in speed. I was also pretty impressed with the range of the router as I've had a few trouble spots in the house with my old router. My home is about 2700 square feet and after I set up the Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router I didn't have a single trouble spot in the house. I also really like that the app lets you control your network even when you aren't at home and you can create guest networks right from the app so there's no need to even be home to allow someone to access your Wi-Fi. Setup was a breeze and I didn't have an issues. I've set up a few routers and this one definitely seemed to be one of the easiest. Another major improvement was both my husband and I were able to use Wi-Fi at around the same speed and when streaming we no longer had to wait for it to buffer. With my old router it seemed like one of us always got stuck using a slower speed. Overall, this is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their Wi-Fi speed! Disclosure: I received product(s) for free, in exchange for my honest review. I only recommend products I've used personally, and believe will be good fit for consumers.

    I bought this wireless router to extend my area of reception. I was coming from a Belkin Router. Unfortunately this router, tho with good reviews, is not much of an improvement especially given the price difference. I intended to pay for and get a better coverage area. Didn't happen.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi, Wagdud,

      Setting fixed channels for both frequency bands would help in boosting the range of your Wi-Fi network. Try channels 1, 6, 9, and 11 for the 2.4 GHz network, and channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 for the 5 GHz. Should you need a hand, email us your contact details and the link to this review at [email protected]. Our Escalation Engineers are always ready to serve you.

      Regards,

      Jay
