    We are able pickup wifi from a good distance away from the router. There’s very rarely any buffering. We have quite a few devices and they all run smoothly!

    I’ve been very happy with the performance and reliability of this router. It definitely fixed a lot of latency and range issues we had experienced with our old router.

    Needed stronger signal in the basement theater room for my new 4k TV this worked wonders. If you are having any signal issues in a big home this is the router for you very happy.

    This has expanded my home wifi network to its extends and thankfully no more dead zones :). Have to say that it is somewhat bulky and is missing the option to mount it on the wall.

    The router performed superbly for 8 months. Lost WiFi a few days ago and discovered the router in the infamous bootloop condition. Called Linksys tech support and within 10 minutes I had an RMA and they were sending me a replacement. Great service. Linksys will put a hold ($300) on your credit card until they receive the broken router. It has to be sent back to them within 30 days or else you just bought yourself another router. I’m anxious to see how the replacement works. I’ll only recommend the router because of their customer service.

    This router was not the easiest to configure. I kept running into issues trying to configure it with my Mac, but once I used a friend's Windows PC, the setup worked flawlessly. I only figured this out after sitting on the phone with their customer support for several hours. Now that it's configured, I have all of my devices up and running with no problem. I have a SmartHome with multiple IoT and Wifi items connected to the router. It is handling this traffic and prioritizing things appropriately 100% of the time.

    It works great, long range and good signal. Looks interesting and becomes a conversation piece. The app is quite subpar compared to other competitors these days -- hopefully that will improve via updates.

    This router can handle a lot of devices, without slowing down the bandwidth. Also the range is very good, I bought an extender to go with it but didn't even need to use it.

    Had to cut the cord from my cable company and own my own equipment. This router handles Gigablast and sends the WiFi signal to the far ends of the house. However, turn off the band boost (or whatever it called where the unit jumps around to find the best of the three signal) this caused major connectivity problems. After turning it off, there is no tendency to lose a signal in the midst of whatever you’re doing online.
