Customer Ratings & Reviews

Gigabit Router that doesn't hit 400 mbps, Called linksys they wanted to charge me for the free support. I informed them I was within the three year on the box free support. Went through trouble shooting steps with the phone rep. They told me it would take an hour to work which that we all know is a thing they say when they wanna get you off the phone. They rated this to work up to 4 GBPS. I think they have the decimal point in the wrong spot on this one. I have worked in the tech industry and setup many routers you expect a $350 product to work straight out the box with how up to date technology is these days. 20 years ago this might have been acceptable but not today. I will never buy a linksys product again. I had this issue with another linksys router about 5 years ago as well and i switched to ASUS AC5300 it is an awesome router even though its older it works way better than the new stuff. See my screen shot I am getting almost 900 mbps down with the ASUS plugged in and ready to surf.

Good router for large home. I cant take full advantage of this router as i dont have gigabit connection right now. But hopefully soon i will jump the gun. Overall good router for large home.

Just purchased this ok 9/6/16 and hooked it up and had my network back up and running within minutes. Simple setup, enjoying the smart wifi app as well.

This router is great i have over 20 devices connected at a time and handles them all. Between gaming HD and 4k streaming this thing can't handle it all

Very happy with this Linksys wifi router. Expensive but worth the quality and reliability. Highly recommended.

A great router with excellent range. Super easy to connect after replacing a Netgear router. Love the mobile app, which allows you to monitor use.

Lets start off with a disclaimer. I received this router as part of the Best Buy tech insider program at no cost in exchange for my honest review of the product. This router is being used in a 4500 square foot house. The home has a main floor and a partially finished basement. The router is located in the only upstairs room in the house, a bonus room above the garage that is the termination site of all of my wired and wireless connections for the home. I have Time Warner cable and am using a surfboard SB6141 cable modem. Lets start by talking about the router itself. The router is bigger than other routers I have owned. But there is a lot of technology inside this box. The router has 8 antennas that are permanently attached but are designed to be directed at devices in the home. There are two usb ports, one usb 2 and a usb 3 port. This router has 8 gigabit LAN ports on the back and 1 WAN port. There is a power button, a WPS button, a wireless on/off button and a reset button as well. The router features tri-beam technology and Mu-Mimo technology to increase network speeds. When you set up the router, there will be one 2.4 ghz and one 5 ghz channel available. The third channel is another 5ghz channel that is combined with the first to increase speed (5+5). There is also a 5 and a 2.4 ghz guest network available. Setup is easy. Once you attach the router to the modem, you connect wirelessly (or wired) to the router with your device and follow the instructions. For those who want to get the most out to this router, there is also a manual set up mode. Easy setup requires the router to be connected to the modem and an internet connection established. Wireless coverage in my house is very good, even to the basement rooms. I have not noticed any drop in speed due to distance from the router. I have some devices on the 5ghz side of the router and others on the 2.4ghz side. I have two 4K sony televisions, two cell phones, one ps4, a roku and an amazon fire on the network along with 2 laptops. I have been able to watch 4k movies, download software and play online with the ps4 without any noticeable lag from any of the streaming devices. I have used the Linksys EA9500 router for 4 days and I have not seen any issues with range or speed. To this point, this router is the best I have used. The 8 LAN ports of the back will also make it convenient to add wired devices to this router. There is also an app that allows you to manage your router from anywhere you have internet access.

Set it up quick and easy. Signal strong all over my house and pretty much covers all of my outside area with very good signal. A must have for a family.

With weak zones of wi-fi throughout our home.... and no wi-fi in the yard.... this has fixed everything. Thanks to the Geek Squad for the installation!

traded in an Apple time machine for this zippy little number. Now my signal reaches all over the house without need for booster

Solid 1gbps on all 8 lines and 5 I have hooked up to a switch. Easily handled the Cox 300 mbps plan. Solid WiFi signal on entire property

This product works really really well. We have several items on two floors and it had no issue servicing all of them at once with no slowing.

Replaced a very good Asus router with the Linksys and experienced immediate improvement to my WiFi coverage, even with 10 devices connected.

It's everything that I needed it to be. I have a 3000' sqft. Home and this item supports all my wifi needs. It's great. No problems. Thank you.

We purchased this router on the recommendation of the sales clerk and it is awesome. We now have high speed WiFi throughout the house.

Super fast. We have a lot of WiFi connected devices but yet no issues. Truly the speed of download I paid for is what I get (and more).

I have had over 30 devices running off of this router without any detectable slow down in speed. Great decision to optimize my cable connection.

This has been an incredible product so far and easy to hook up. The gigabyte ports are amazing and range for wifi is incredible in our home.

Item I received was defective. Returned to BB and bought from another retailer. Awesome range & power. Destroys my old Apple 3TB router.

I was haven't a lot problem with me internet wifi in my house install this powerful router little pricing but very good for 4500sqt home
