What can't this handle?!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is a monster, not only is it huge but it can handle A LOT and the speed is impeccable. I'm pretty sure I won't have to replace it for another 7 to 10 years.

Great Router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this router because it is supposed to work well with multiple wifi devices. So far I am very impressed. Setup was easy, you can use their website or App. I have several wifi devices including pcs, google hubs, light bubls and outlet switches. This router connects everything with no problem. You can remotely management it when not at home. My download speeds have improved over my 5 year old router. I would totally recommend this for anyone who wants to connect alot of devices to your wifi.

Very good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this router to replace my 3 year old Asus RT-AC66U router. Has been using it for 4 months and it works great. But in terms of range/speed, I did not notice much difference between this router and my old Asus router. I feel Asus RT-AC66U has a longer range for 2.4 Ghz. I paid premium price for EA9500 router compared to Asus. But the performance gain is not that justified for the high price.. This router may be an overkill for a typical house owner. Overall I like this router and did not experience any issues so far.

Unstable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as prior router lost 2.4 GHz signal. Had to replace this router within 48 hours as it would not maintain communication with the modem. Signal speed in house EXCELLENT, and antenna signal strength is better than older router. However, very frustrated that router will disconnect periodically (I believe it has problems renewing the DHCP licenses, so it simply disconnects from the modem). Have to reboot the router every 24 hours. Have had to change the MTU to fit Cox (it is set by Linksys at 1500, but Cox wants 1472 -- but I had to test to find this out) and had to change the security protocols from WPA2 Mixed to WPA2 Personal, and both of these changes further (mildly) enhanced speed IN THE HOUSE, but did NOT change the problem of the router disconnecting from the modem. Now on my second Linksys EA9500. This one is more stable, doesn't disconnect from modem nearly as often. Router speed is still excellent in the house. Contacted Linksys several times regarding the disconnect issue -- learned this was a known problem, and is well reported in online chats. No solution yet: "Our Engineers are working on this." Comes with two USB 3.0 ports. Easy to add external hard drive. BUT, the hard drives will NOT show up on the network. Linksys blames modifications in Windows 10 for the problem but, again, no solution: "Our engineers are working on it." So, no ability to use my external WD Drive(s) for backup, etc. In summary, very FAST signal, unreliable connection to modem, and no ability at present to use the USB ports to add storage to the network. It does have a 3 year warranty . . . but I really wish I was not faced with having to use it. At this point I have pretty much decided to stop trusting routers to use USB ports for about anything (switching to a true NAS on ethernet). Also ready to give up again on Linksys . . . two routers in a row with the same issue, why would I want to try a third?

Wow, great speeds
