    I have about 15-20 devices connected wirelessly at most times with all the smart home devices, ring doorbell, tablets, phones, amazon echos, game systems, sonos etc and also about that many wired devices as well (desktops, receivers, apple TV, etc) Throughput has been great for all devices and the router has been stable as a rock.

    Once I decided to start making my home a smart home I knew I needed a new router. My old Linksys just would not handle the amount of device that where on it and the distance was bad. Now we enjoy connectivity in both the front and back yard. I am on a about half acre lot. Speeds show very little latency through the router and I can stream 4K on it to multiple devices at once.

    My first router was the Linksys 3200 it died after a year. I bought this as a replacement. This router is full of features and has superb range. You can control the router with your phone or tablet to change settings, prioritize which devices will come first in terms of priority for data speed. Great router would recommend to anyone looking for a high end router.

    This is my first linksys router in a long time. Ive had apple products for at least 10 years. I'm extremely impressed with the ease of set up as well as the performance of the router. If you are an advanced user, i'm sure you'll get even more flexibility out of the system. The router is quite large (really large) so be prepared to find a high shelf or something to get it out of sight.

    LinkSys replaces an Asus dual band that had lost the ability to connect on the 2.4 band. Set up was very easy. I have 4 mobile devices, a Roku 4, Amazon Echo, Sony TV, Sony Bluray, Samsung 4K UHD Bluray, Denon AVR, Dish 3 DVR, an Epson printer, a desktop and a laptop all connected. It handles them all. Very good device. It has been in use for 2 months. If it goes at least 12 months with no problems I would rate it Excellent. Time will tell.

    I had very poor signal before with dead spots 6-10 feet from the router. Now I no longer have dead spots and my Kodi works better than before.

    Simply amazing!! I have had the router now for a couple of months and it never ceases to amaze me how strong the signal is at such a far distance in our church .. it works perfectly for when we have three iPad syncing to wear to work our soundboard.. I have no regrets or any doubts that I will be needing a router for a long time now .. Perfect

    I kept dropping WiFi signals so I broke down and bought a new router. I read reviews about how great this model is and how the drawback is that it has a very large footprint. Oh my were they bang on. I don't have any dropped signals but this thing takes up a lot of space. It's a little pricey but I'm happy with it and would have no problem recommending it.

    I originally had purchased the 9300 from Walmart but had it home for maybe 2 weeks and it wouldn't stay on. It kept restarting . So I returned it and went to Best Buy(which I should have just done in the first place) and bought this one! Very simple set up. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. No problems. I would highly recommend !

    New model and installed in my 3 level 4000 ft home. Excellent signal although I did install a booster downstairs...not sure if I needed it but wanted strong signals at all points within all levels of the home. A bit pricey but worth it for updated technology and believe it is one of the best on the market at this time. Absolutely no problems and would buy again.
