    The router arrived to my house within days of ordering and I liked how quickly the setup took. Including firewalls passwords everything it works great for anyone looking for a router that just works.

    Have had a fantastic experience so far with my EA9500 router. It's been reliable, and the UI on both web app and mobile app are incredibly user friendly. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.

    Before I purchased this product my internet would drag and I always got the loading circle every 5 seconds as I was streaming. Since I've purchased this product I have not had a single loading circle.

    Absolutely love this router, obviously a bit of a hefty price tag but if you tend to have a lot of technology in the home, have issues with bandwidth allocation. This router is worth the investment.

    Linksys - EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi

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

    I bought a Netgear Nighthawk router last year and had trouble with it within the first 2-3 weeks. Took it back and should have known then, to go to Linksys brand. But thought I would give it another try and got another Netgear Nighthawk. BIG mistake! Had trouble with it as well but just kept on resetting it when things got so bad. I ALWAYS used Linksys in the past and had great success with them but thought maybe I would try something different. Maybe there is something better out there. Never again will I buy another brand than Linksys. I am very happy with the new Linksys - EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router. It is everything I want in a router.

    I went to pick up a router from my home wondering if I would need to also install some extenders. When I saw the Linksys 5400 AC I was sold. It covers my home and entire yard, 7800 sqft.

    Amazing Router

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

    I have always loved Linksys routers, and this one is no exception. It works amazing with all the devices in my network and has enough bandwidth to allow me to continue to add devices. I can stream in 4K and not see any bottlenecking with any of my devices. The setup was very simple, the interface was clean. I was able to get through the different settings to set it up the way I wanted with no problems. The app allows me to monitor the network remotely from anywhere and will let me know if my network goes down.

    Significant upgrade over my previous router. Was receiving poor signals to devices on the other side of the house. This new router easily broadcasts through multiple walls. Love this device.

    I work from home and I also like to play videos games or the wife likes to watch Netflix or Hulu at the same time. This router can support multiple devices at once with no lag on any device!

    Best Router

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

    This is the best router I have ever owned. I can run three xboxes, two laptops, and two phones with intense gaming and nothing slows down. I don't need to hard wire any devices either.

    This router was very simple to install. Once installed the unit has the capacity to manage all my devices without delays. The software works well for monitoring usage by all the devices.

    Excellent Router

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

    I've had this router for around 1 year now. I do a lot with my network, and I needed something that could handle it all. Besides having a much stronger AC signal, it also has 8 ports instead of the standard 4, so I didn't need to use a secondary switch or hub. Since it can be linked to the mobile app I have full control over it, and I can shut the internet down on all my kids devices when they forget who is the boss, or on my wifes stuff if I feel like getting yelled at. The first one I owned was damaged by a power outage, and Linksys was quick to help me out and send a new one, relatively hassle free. My only wish is that it had more customizable firmware, or better bandwidth management software, so I know who is hogging all the bandwidth when things slow down.

    Easy setup, 4 bars everywhere

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

    This is a very powerful router. I get at least 4 bars all over the house, garage, and yard. It is large but is worth the desk space if you can't mount it vertically. But make sure you get the comparable wireless adapter to make full use of its features. I've seen them advertised together. You will need an adapter for each wireless device. Setup is simple and make sure you set up the Smart Wifi app as it is great and allows you to take full advantage of the router and also check your download/upload speeds. Once you get this router I can't imagine your ever needing another one. I don't know how this could be improved--but I said that three routers ago.
