    Best Linksys Router by far

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've always had Linksys Routers and when I heard about a new Router with steady performance, I was interested. I finally bought this AC54000 to replace my old AC3200 from Bestbuy about a month ago. So far, its been a good buy.

    This router has fixed all issues with connectivity in my house and also broadcasts across the street by about 200 feet. The range is awesome. I really enjoy the smart WiFi app too in order to reset or change settings on the fly.

    I love this router. The web UI is very easy to use. The mobile app is awesome and it's very easy to configure the router remotely. The tri band smart connect feature makes things convenient. The router covers a 5000 sqft house.

    Good Router

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased a refurbished unit, unit arrived in good condition but was SLOW. I updated to latest firmware and then restored to factory. Once my network configuration was completed Router came to life. I got about a 15-20% in wireless speed vs my older Linksys Router

    You get what you pay for and this is a monster

    The rage these days are the "mesh" networks. They are pricey and you get 2, 3, or 4 units to put over the entire house for wifi coverage. The idea is there won't be dead spots or loss of signal. I tried one of those and suffice it to say it did not work the way I wanted it to so I returned it and bought this router. While it is a high end router and may be overkill for many homes, this was the one I wanted and needed. I purchased this router along with a MAX Stream repeater and I've never looked back. Connections have been solid, speeds have been great and I'm happy. Yes, this is a very expensive appliance. Sometimes you'll say, hmm, should I get a PS4 Pro or a router...but in this case the money truly gets you a router that just has amazing coverage and redundancy.

    Good enough, but not great.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really enjoyed this product when I barely had anything to connect wirelessly and before I connected some of my WiFi devices in my room which is on the other side of my house. When I connected more devices however it became spotty and slow. For the money it should be able to do simple connections within a 2500sqft range with no issues. I had to buy an extender and even still my Phillips hue bulbs in my room stay in the offline position. However it's good for gaming and streaming movies so that's why I keep it. Overall I give it 3.5 stars. The rating system doesn't use half stars. I would recommend it mainly for homes under 2000sqft. If you have more space than that and your house is long and not stacked up then you'll need an extender.

    Over all its good.

    I have had this router for over 4 months. Had a small problem with the router during the 2nd month. had to return it. now, works fine. the speed is good, but the range was way shorter than what i was expecting. my house its not big. about 1400 sqft, as soon as i walk out from the router room( which is my bedroom) my wifi signal gets weak and weak, if im staying in the living room, sometimes my cellphone will get disconnected with the wifi, i was so surprised with this high end router couldnt cover my house. And from my bedroom to outside of the garage its about 30ft long. And normally with this distance, i only gets fake wifi signal. But overall, this is still a good router, only thing that disappointed me its the wifi range.

    Super easy to set up and doing fantastic with all of our wireless devices in our home. The other router we had was not a bad one but it was slowing down some with the family watching movies, gaming, and web surfing.

    Better Router than the X8

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had the Netgear Nighthawk X8 before I got this router and the connection was unreliable to say the least, with the linksys one everything connects more easily and the app is much more intuitive and easy to use.

    Amazing technology to future proof your home

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This router has MU-MIMO technology. That means Multiple User - Multiple Input/Multiple Output. Instead of your router rapidly firing off information to one device at a time, it will hold a steady connection with each device (up to 8, I believe). I have about 15 devices on the network at any given time and I use the Smart WiFi app to prioritize my desktop and mobile devices. Again, this is a great router for future proofing the household. A lot of people choose the new mesh systems for greater network areas but they sacrifice some speed for it. Using a linksys network extender, you can easily hit those hard to reach corner rooms that most routers leave in the dark. I'd choose this over the mesh systems (Orbi, Eero, Velop) any day!
