    Picked this for a split level 4000sqft house. It covers the entire house. I did use some extenders to ensure the signal to the theater room and the highest room in the house. An example of it Power, I can get singal 1/2 mile from the router. Kids can call this the "dead spider".

    Linksys has done a great job with having built "out of the box" ready with this one. The EA9500 set up is very easy to understand and achieve. The connectivity is unparalleled in the current marketplace equivalent units compatibility. Very happy to have purchased this unit.

    I opened box and connected everything and it practically installed itself. I have numerous Wifi devices and was killing my old router with freeze ups and loss of connections. After this install all devices have strong signals and no drops. Thanks Linksys!

    Needed to update my router - stayed with Linksys as I had been very pleased with one purchased over 5 years ago. Went for the tri-band and have been quite pleased. Great coverage and love the 'guest' band so visitors can have access without revealing main band password.

    I was having trouble with Wifi speeds in my home. I have a 300mbps with TWC Sprectrum and this router is amazing. It is pricey and is probably over kill but with 4 of us in the house with idevices and streaming I think it should suffice for a number of years.

    This router has enough power and enough antennas to get the job done. Setup was not much different than any other Linksys router (i.e. not difficult).It has the most current wireless technologies, and I have had no issues or problems with it since its installation.

    Router is huge and provides great strength. Highly recommend. The app is great too and super easy to set up. The app allows you to control internet on each device with parental controls.

    We had a Linksys router for 5 years, worked great but decided to upgrade since we had 2x the number of devices now. The AC5400 does not disappoint! Awesome coverage in our home and the capacity handles our 18 devices.

    Great Router I actually ended up returning the first one because it suddenly bricked itself. The router is great has far coverage and the signal strength can reach both upstairs and my basement. The Linksys app is far better than my old Netgear setup.

    Better tech support than my internet provider

    After being away from home for about two weeks I found an alarm on my router. I called the service provider and after running some test told me it was the router and not their equipment. I went over to Best Buy and asked for recommendations. The Linksys looked like it would be an easy setup so I bought it. After setting it up I could not get it to communicate with the modem. I called my service provider and they assured me their equipment was working. I then called Linksys and worked with them for over an hour. They proved to me the problem was with the modem. I called the service provider and demanded they send someone out, the next day they came and after extensive testing agreed the modem was bad. Linksys has excellent tech support and I appreciate the support they provided.

    Wanting a top quality unit with top speed and ability to handle 8 connections I choose this unit. Took a minute to accept the price but it has been worth it as it has worked flawlessly. Cannot risk having hardware problems when trying to run a business.

    I’ve got too many electronics and they were bogging down my old router. This is overkill otherwise. Good signal strength across my home. And a fairly useful app for quick changes or just perusing what devices are connected to your network.

    I am not tech savvy and this was easy to install, made a major difference in my internet use around the house. Tried a more expensive model of a different brand and it was tough to set up and failed a day later. This has been running no problems for awhile

    Easy set up, always want more coverage, but this covers 2700 sf home well. Did run in to an issue with WD MyCloud, but overcame without much trouble (resets and reboots). Have not seen any issues with up up to 18 users - pretty cool.

    I investeded in this since I work from home and at any given time there are at least 10 devices connected to Wifi in our home; 16 when everyone is home. It had proven to be dependable and fast at all times of the day!!!
