Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Linksys EA9500 max stream router is the fastest, most powerful router I have had the pleasure to own and use. It is beastly fast -- I'm pulling 160MB+ wired and over 50MB wireless on all channels. The signal is equally strong in the furthest reaches of my home, the pool and walking around my immediate neighborhood. Form follows function -- not only is this router a super performer but it looks beastly as well. Like something from an Aliens set. I am delighted with the hardware!

I bought this massive router to replace a old Linksys router. This is super easy to setup and is strong enough to push good signal to every part of my house. My wife led one would have weak signal at the furthest part of the house. I have a 100 year old house with plaster walls so it's not easy to get full strength signal everywhere. With the EA 9500 I am even able to get the 5ghz at full strength everywhere in my house (2000sq ft.). It might seem expensive but I think it's well worth it. It might seem overkill for light to medium home use but it future proofs yourself a little bit.

When I wanted to Best Buy, I spoke to representative about one of the best Wi-Fi routers that they have, he suggested that I buy the Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-Band WiFi Router. I’m glad I purchase this product I am truly satisfied.

Excellent stable fast easy to install handles many devices good distance strong signal returned a 2 system orbi and bought this no regrets

I bought this for a small office router and it performs very well. 8 antennas are pretty amazing. This thing puts out amazing signal quality anywhere in the space I put it in. Also has a nice cloud admin app to manage the router remotely.

Great Speeds, easy set up, great signal strength, just an all around great device!

want the best speeds for your gaming experience? or perhaps 4k streaming capability? or maybe you just want the best this product works great and from what I understand it can support up to 50 devices I personally have 50/50 Mbps internet speed (fios) and have quiet afew devices from cameras to laptops to even smart TVs no matter what you would need this for whether it be for family visiting you can be assured you will be receiving the best speeds on your devices (especially if this is in your room and you direct connect ethernet and set everyone's internet speed :P

Easy setup, stable, does not require reboot like Netgear R6300 did every few weeks. It is expensive but price going down quickly as competition is heating for the 5200 Mbps routers.

Great range, 5ghz frequency is not as large as 2ghz but that is to be expected. Setup is easy and works like a champ. It is a little on the big size, so you need to make space for it.

Tried 3 different routers, nighthawk x6, asus rt5300, and this linksys. Linksys out performs the others in my household. Only thing is the parental controls. Haven't been able to make them work straight out the box.

Good speed, no dropping signal. Eight Ethernet really a big plus that I have not seen in other routers. Mobile map is well defined and quite helpful.

I recently upgraded to this router from a Linksys WRT1900AC router. I had no issues with the old one, I just like to buy the best tech gadgets when I can afford them. I'm very impressed with the speed on this router, I can definitely tell a difference over my old router, which was already pretty quick. Having 8 ethernet ports on the router is also a huge plus, I use most of them. If you're looking for one of the best routers you can buy, this is definitely a contender for that title.

I upgraded my Linksys AC1200 with this beast. What a difference!! I have my wireless media streaming devices connected to the dual 5ghz band. The range is very good, it covers my entire house and the backyard without adding a range extender. Setup is simple but you will get better results if you do some reading on the different wireless bands,which is easy because Linksys has good information on their site.

This Wi-Fi router is good for running lots of devices. It can prioritize your devices, so what you want to have the best connection will have it. Also l used to have a switch and no longer need it because this router has 8 ports, so less clutter and easier to use. l purchased this router because its 2.4 channel has up to 1000 mbps and most devices out there don’t do that. l would recommend this to someone that has alot of devises And don’t want to deal with lag.

This device is pricey but well worth it. I paired it with a new Motorola SB6190 and enjoy the speed on my comcast connection. I'm happy I was able to set up dedicated wifi connections on 5ghz for my nest cams, previously I was always getting dropped connections. Overall I am satisfied that the Ea9500 can manage all our devices: 4 cell phones, 4 laptops, 2 game devices, 3 nest cams, all at once. Not to mention when the kids friends come over with their phones and laptops - using the separate guest network. Just one thing, call your internet provider prior connecting a new cable modem.

I bought this router after going through two NetGear NightHawk x8 routers. Those routers died after about two weeks where they went into an infinite loop cycle. What I found with this Linksys router is unbelievable reliability. I have 24 wifi devices connected to it including 4 rokus, multiple tablets and laptops. From about 25 feet away on the 5g band I'm getting copy speeds to my qNap NAS at about 40MB per second which is incredible. I highly recommend this router.

Was having serious issues when playing online gaming and wireless throughout the house. All I can say it this solved all the problems and never hear any complaints from my son about lagging.

I have owned a number of routers over the past years from a number of brands to accomodate the increasing number of Wi-Fi dependent equipment in my household. Installation was never as easy and smooth as claimed. Performance was spotty at best across my large/older house. The new Linksys Max-Stream changed all that. Remarkably simple installation. Truly outstanding performance. Not inexpensive but definitely worth it. Go for it. It's the best avilable.

Very fast, easy to install and stable delivery. Whole house coverage. Supfast with Comcast gig speed

We purchased this to replace a WRT 3200 model, which never worked very well (much cutting out and needing to be rebooted frequently, before it died abruptly after less than 2 years). The new one set up extremely easily (unlike the other) and has worked well since. Haven't had it long, b it's perfect so far (and fast).
