Robust WiFi Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were having issues with my children's computers dropping off of the network. I did some research and settled on the Linksys AC2600 Dual Band WiFi Router. The setup was very easy. I was able to utilize my previous network name and password with ease. The speeds of WiFi are much faster. The complaints of devices dropping from the WiFi network has stopped!

Nice Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought thais router to replace and as an upgrade of my Linksys router that I had for many years. I was in the process of increasing my internet speed and the old one would not allow the higher speeds. I have had this router for several months now and it is great! Covers my 1900 sq ft home easily. Setup was a breeze. I highly recommend it!

Great value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up in no time at all. Internet speed is impressive even with multiple devices going at once. Coverage is also impressive and has greatly improved as well. We live in an apartment on the 4th floor of an old brick building in a very high density neighborhood. I can now get coverage outside our building as well as to our roof deck.

Has issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switched from my nighthawk to this because on paper it should blow that out of the water. Unfortunately, there is a serious issue with random resets on this. I work in IT professionally and there was no fix for this. If you go to linksys forums over 100 pages with this issue and linksys cannot seem to fix it. When it works, its a great router but having to wake up and reset your router every day is not fun. Also their app interface is terrible compared to Netgear's. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it is a nicely specced router when it works. These should have a recall in my opinion as tons of people having the same issue. I have since returned mine and switched back to the nighthawk.
