    This router has MU-mimo which makes it great for using multiple Wifi items in your home . Max-Stream also is great for streaming video.

    Consistent Device Disconnection

    I don’t ever write reviews but I was disturbed by this and felt compelled. I may be an exception but I found the router to experience heavy disconnection of devices even from just 15-20 ft away. Speeds were slow at the other side of the house (previously Apple Router with extender performed better). I kept for a week and still ran into issues. Luckily due to Best Buy’s return policy I returned and switched to a mesh network. Upon much research I decided to purchase the Netgear ORBI which is absolutely outstanding. If you have a large house save the time researching and buy the ORBI.

      Hi, Adam,

      This is a very unusual behavior for the Linksys router. It is possible that the firmware of the router was not up to date. We respect your decision in returning the device. If you have other questions regarding a Linksys device, feel free to email us at [email protected].

      Have a good day!

      Regards,

    This thing is awesome! Covers the whole house no extenders and automatically switches as you move around the house. Pricey, but worth it.

    Hands down the best router on the market!! I have used Linksys in the past and I am always more than satisfied with the quality of their products. Great connection and speed. Our connection has always been slow on any other router we have used. Since purchasing the Linksys EA9500 it has more than trippled our connection speed! Would highly recommend to those who have gamers in the family, or for those who connect a lot of gadgets. Love that it has a separate guest network that works equally as well!
