    The range on this router is the best I've ever had. I get Wi-Fi all the way from the parking lot of my complex. The only thing I wish wad that it was a tri band instead of a dual.

    Great Range

    The range on this thing I love it. However I feel like the antennas are cheaply built cause you have to screw them on really tight in order for them to be in a fixed position.

    This router has been amazing. I have used it for almost a year and it has never dropped my WiFi. It outputs all of my 300 mbps Internet and works great with my Time Warner Cable

    Not exactly what we went in to buy

    We needed a new wireless router our old Cisco Linksys was awesome but technology moves on and it was flawless since 2010. We recently purchased a Sonos Soundbar, subwoofer and play 2 all wireless with a Streamline TV box, two Nest thermostats, solar, cell phones, computers... hard to believe we had 17 devices hooked up. So we reluctantly purchased this most awesome device, my house is wicked fast with wifi, the range covers both floors and outside. Even my neighbor comments on how many bars my router has at his house. I also like the eight ports. My last router was seven years old and I hope this one does even better.

    Great Router - Outstanding Upgrade!!!

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

    I recently decided to update my wireless router from an older Linksys router to the new EA9500. We had moved a few months ago, and the old router just wasn't strong enough to broadcast to all areas of the house, and the house is not going to be easy to hard wire, so improving my wireless signal was my best option. And while a little pricey, it was worth it. We now have over 20 devices/phone/appliances connected throughout the house and we no longer have any issues. Add in the ability to restrict individual devices, see who's/what's connected, etc. and I couldn't be happier.

    No real complaints. It was easy to setup and has worked flawlessly. The only reason that I did not give this product a five star review is I cannot see how much throughout a device is using.

    excellent router for streaming

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

    This router has very good throughput. I was able to get the full speed that I paid for (100+ Mbps) and the extra 5GHz band makes it easy to stream without interruptions from buffering. The only down side to this router is that the range for the two 5GHz bands are much shorter than the 2.4GHz so it was harder to get the optimal performance of this router. Also, you have to rearrange the 8 antennas to achieve the best throughput throughout a large, multi-story house. This is still one of the best AC routers out on the market along with the Nighthawk X8 (X10 too) and Asus Ac5300
