    So far it's been excellent. It supports a large number of devices and is very fast. Setup was pretty easy and I like the guest network feature. It has great range for our 3700 sq. foot house, too.

    The router works, but it is not as strong reaching all equipment on two floors. our condo is not that large but if you are more than 20 feet away and not in direct eyesight of the router it does not perform well. TV and Computer are on First Floor and sometimes the signal "gets Lost". Additionally, the reset time is far too long, it takes 20 25 minutes to reset the router. Definitely not worth the high Price tag and only marginally better than our old Liinksys WRT1900AC.

    I haven't had any issues with this router so far. Set up was fairly easy and the AC range exceeded my expectations. Getting the full speed I'm paying my ISP for which is a plus to me.

    This quite frankly the finest router I have ever installed. Simple to setup and simple to use. For a product this good, I do not believe that the price is relevant. Love this router. I would recommend this router to my friends and family.

    Did the job extending the range well beyond what the cable company's router provided. Now no need for a range extender. (And thanks to the sales assoc for steering me away from buying an extender) Haven't yet put it through its paces on streaming video to my tv. Haven't had many drop off issues

    This is the 4th router I've owned, and by far it's the most powerful and most convenient. It easily covers my two story house, even into the farthest corners, and seamlessly connects with our increasing number of wireless devices - cellphones, laptops, tablets, Roku's, etc. I'm very pleased.

    Much wider reception range than the previous router. Had issues with old router staying connected in the family room downstairs. Now no problem. Did get kicked out of the wi-fi connection today & had a bit of difficulty reconnecting. Might have been a cable issue.

    Great Dual Band

    Having had it a little over a month now, I have no complaints at all! I have 93 Mbps that comes out of my modem and coming out of this router, I get ~75 Mbps through ethernet and ~50 Mbps over both bands. The signal is shared between two adjoining apartments and with the router in roughly the middle, signal strength is great throughout both apartments. The dual band is also great at spreading out the usage to increase speed to each device. The ability to quickly, efficiently, and securely give out passwords for the built-in guest connection is something I see being very useful for B&B's and others of the sort.

    I had to call Lynksis 2 times to get this working. The router needed a software update out of the box and installing this took over 2 hours of help time. The router works much better than the old one but with an upgrade after 4 years, I would hope so.

    I reviewed this router on-line and thought it was worth the expense if it performed as other reviewed it. I am very pleased with the performance. With my old router I was continually having to wait for video buffing. There is no delay with this router.
