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).

No shortage of antennas on this bad boy. Struggled with whole house coverage for a long time until this jewel came along. Now I can even get respectable wi-fi in the yard. Totally satisfied.

As an IT professional, i am very familiar with Linksys products. That said I still did my research by reading reviews and comparing this product against other routers in its class. My choice was based on ease of setup, proven performance and the quality of support that Linksys has historically provided. I configured this router in less than 15 minutes and all of my streaming, email and web browsing are working flawlessly.

This WiFi router is a monster. I have not had any issues now with slow loading and buffering. My old system would constantly default me to the neighbor's equipment. No this one!

This router works great. After trying DLink and other routers of the same class this router turned out to be the only router that worked consistently. A lot of the other 5GHz routers fail and drop out all of the time. This one works great and has decent range. The range is about what you expect, but a little less than the packaging advertises. That is the only drawback as the speed and connection quality are typically very strong.

I was having issues with speed and connectivity with my old Linksys router (6 years old). I purchased this and what a change it was. We run 1 X-Box, 4 phones, 2 laptops, 1 iPad, 4 smart TV's and 2 Blu-Ray players. My speed tests went from 20 - 30 mbps to 99 - 100 mbps. I love the prioritization feature so I can ensure our video streaming pre-empts the kids games....NO LAG.

Hands down the best router I’ve owned. We have 5 fairly tech people in our smart house that is roughly 1,700 square feet on the main floor and 1,500 square feet in the basement. This router handles all of the devices with no issues. Never do we experience lag or connectivity issues. I’d recommend to anyone looking for high speed connectivity for multiple devices.

For your home use, multi-crazy tons of WiFi devices, and you need range to cover a large house- this can't be beat. I've used tons of routers over the years, Netgear, Asus, Linksys, Dlink and more. Nothing compares to this monster. It's huge, and ugly, but it performs like no other router. The last time I had a router I was this happy with was the WRT54G that was the most bullet proof router of its day.

I already had a very high end router before I bought this one, but I decided to upgrade because it was two years old. I already had good range and speed, but this router just took everything up to the extreme. I now have a signal at the furthest most corners of my back yard and at the end of my driveway which I did not have before. Speed is consistent throughout my house and I am a happy customer.

This router increased my bottleneck of my wireless n router. I was running around 25Mbps and now I am at 150Mbps. The usb ports on back hold two external hard drives and since it has eight Ethernet ports i can put it in my entertainment center with wired connections to home media pc, Xbox one, tv and my bad with room to spare. It is a good size but all good things come in big packages.

We had previously owned a router, modem combo. After purchasing this router with a separate modem our problems were solved of our laptop getting bumped from the internet. This unit may be a bit more horse power than we initially needed but it allows for future expansion. Also has the feature for a guest wifi so you don't have to worry about giving your own login information. I would recommend anyone to buy a product that fits your needs.Do some research and utilize your Best Buy associate if you prefer. I think Linksys makes a great product.

I have had this router for a month and has worked perfect for me. My internet speed has increased, 2.4 ghz reaches the whole house. 5ghz almost reaches the whole house. We have two xboxs going on the same time, 4 laptops, multiple ipads & iphones connected. Xboxs are always on OPen Nat Type unless playing call of duty seems thats the only game that will have open on one and Moderate on other. no lag or dropped connections. I am really blown away by this router. Exceeded my expectations as well as my internet speed connections.

Great router! Super strong signals with this bad boy! Also LOVE the fact that it has 8 wired ports as well....Thats very hard to find nowadays. Setup was a little confusing at first, but eventually got through it. I have a pretty big house and this does a great job with the coverage. I also paired this with the Linksys powerline wifi extender which works great as well.
