Customer Ratings & Reviews

Prior router was unstable and dropping connections. I also have a WiFi range extender that was a pain because I didn’t have seamless roaming on the old router. No more, we have over 20 connected devices in the house, with multiple people streaming Netflix- we knew the prior router was the choke point. This router has handled everything we’ve thrown at it. We’re on a two acre lot and I can go anywhere and have a strong connection. I installed the range extender anyway since this router has seamless roaming, I can now visit the neighbors and stay connected to my house! Very happy.

I had problems with my old router. The router is better on the range of the WiFi. I can use my laptop in the most distant room.

I have a 12k square foot lot and pick up wifi throughout the house. Upgraded from the nighthawk x6 which was also a good one also but this linksys gets further coverage.

Just to give you an insight on what this router can do let me tell you whats being powered. I live in a 3 story 3000sq ft house with 2 wireless computers, 3 tablets, a pc gaming system and ps4. I have 3 smart t.v and 3 kids who all like to watch netflix on 3 seperate t.v. i have my router set up on the third floor which i know is not a good place but due to the layout of the house it was the easiest because i have cable. I have tried all kinds of different routers. The last one i used was a netgear range max dual band. This router did ok but would not reach the basement. I had to buy a wifi booster just to get service in the basement. The current router i was using before the linksys was the comcast docsis 3.0 wireless router and moden combined. This router was a big step up and was able to send signal all the way down to the basement. The comcast router was a typical dual band running 2.4ghz for your standard needs and 5ghz for highspeed streaming. The main issue i had was constant dropouts. When i had more then one person streaming media i would experience lag then for some reason the wireless side of the modem would stop functioning. Now mind you this is a $200 modem so its not exactly cheap like ths netgear but yet the netgear out performed at closer range. I was frustrated until i got the linksys ac5400. First impression of this router was that it looked like a beast. Its not small and its packing 8 adjustable antennas with 8 ethernet ports. This is a tri-band router meaning it runs the typical 2.4ghz band, 5ghz band and a 5+ ghz band. Basically its streaming two 5ghz bands to allow multiple streaming and gaming. This is ideal for people who have large families, roommates or a business that allows customers to access the company wifi. This router is different in another aspect that many may like. It allows you to download the linksys app which allows you to access your router anytime from anywhere. While accessing the app you can change many things such as router name, password, security access etc. But one nice feature is it allows you to see whos tapped into your router. So if you have a nosey neighbor who maybe got lucky and crakced your code you see them and kick them off your router and even block their isp for future access. It also allows you to set up guest passes and set up how much access they are allowed to your internet. This is ideal for buisness owners who want to give there customers a little luxury without compromising bandwith for the rest of the company. Im now getting full bars even in my basement. Im running 80megs of internet and in the lowest level of my house im able to stream 70 megs on just the 2.4ghz band. I have never been able to do this on any router i have owned. I know the price tag is steep but you definitely get what you pay for. There is so much more this router does that i just dont have the time to explain it all. You will not be disappointed.

I have a 7000 square feet home I tried different products to get more coverage but when I tried this I was amazed with the signal strength and broader coverage area.

Absolutely love this router. Zero problems. Have had it for 4 years and still runs like new.

If you are looking for reliability I would recommend you this router. It supports a gig and is support stable plus have 8 Ethernet ports.

I purchased the Linksys - Ea9500 Max-stream Ac5400 Tri-band Wi-fi Router because my current router was going out. It was easy to setup. It has a lot of great features.

Does everything as promised. Can't get speed test to work. But haven't called in to see how to fix but don't really care cause I can tell it's very fast.

With all our devices cell phones, laptops, iPads, blue ray, x box ones so forth things have slowed down. I got this when I bought my 4K UHD tv and not only is the wireless signal reaching even outside the house but all devices work great with no slow downloading or anything. I am watching movies on Apple TV and on the 4K from YouTube and Netflix with no interruptions or delays. I highly recommend this. One more thing it allows you to create a separate Wifi for friends that come over.

this get the job done which it helped that it was time for an upgrade at the time I can fill the speed and protection this device has.

Once it was set up, it operates well. Had a small problem getting it started, but not a major problem. Easy to connect to and operate.

The router is very easy to setup, comes with an excellent iPhone/iPad app for setup and management. Provides 8 GiGE ports and the Wifi coverage is excellent in our 3000 Square-foot home. Great features and throughput. A little pricey compared to others but build quality is excellent, 8 GiGe switch built in and excellent performance make it worth it. It also has a nice feature that maps all your devices on a GUI map. It is also easy to expand with a Wifi extender if you have a larger home, compatible with Apple Airport Express and Extreme for extending the network.

I’m really happy with this router. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I was expecting being able to get a signal from a farther distance. It is good but not excellent.

this works great for all my devices in my house and i have comcast for a service. i do notice the speed has increase from using this instead of comcast router

Love this router. Handles all of our wireless needs...and we all have a lot of those anymore! Easy install and we've had no problems with it.

Love spreading out our digital devices over three bands instead of two. Everything seems to take advantage of out Fiber Optic connection as well.

I just moved in to a new home. I had dead spots upstairs with my old router. Thanks to the linksys EA9500, my wi fi signal covers the whole house now.

This router is super fast and able to handle multiple devices in my house. It also allows for a guess use with a separate password.

I would recommend this router to anyone with a larger home and multiple items connected to the Internet. Even at the farthest point of our home, no buffering!!
