Average product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $400, you expected a nice boost, but I lost signal around the corner. I really wanted to like this, but my Netgear 1900 was doing the same as this and it is 4 years old.

Posted .Hi, Maverick,
Physical interference can limit the signal coverage of the router. We recommend that you place the router in the middle of your home to maximize its signal. If there are rooms that separated by multiple walls, then you might need a range extender to get signal to that location.
We can have our Second Level Support team assist you with further adjustments to maximize your signal. Just send us your contact details at [email protected] along with the link to this post.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Thaddeus

I would recommend this to a friendExcellent improvement to network
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Always been pleased with Linksys products. Bought this EA-9500 after reading online review and needing to improve home network. Replace an AC-1900 Linksys router and immediately noticed better wifi coverage throughout the house. Would highly recommend! Best Buy had the best price I could find. Only dissatisfaction: The manual has mixed languages throughout and is EXTREMELY difficult to use. Very aggravating. I have never seen a manual like this.

Great Router!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the most reliable routers I've owned for the amount of devices I have connected to it.
I would recommend this to a friend Not quite fully vetted ...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performs well, fast connections on both networks (Smart mode) and snappy GUI. Unlike the other current Linksys models, there isn't an overall wifi scheduling tab. That's a huge disappointment considering the price. I need this feature as do others I would bet. Is this coming in a firmware update Linksys? Soon? Expensive but has a longer than usual warranty and mine came with the USB dongle. Fix the firmware, then I can safely recommend this product. Docked one star because of the lack of a critical, missing feature.

Great for a family with lots of devices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use our devices constantly and are finding this router able to keep up. Looks good too!
I would recommend this to a friend I thought it would be better....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was excited reading about this new technology and how much it would improve over my AC1900 model. I seem to have more not connected to internet issues than before. When it's working however, it is great. Netflix 4K streaming can last for many hours without any issues. But then sometimes, it loses connection, comes back, and then loses connection. Maybe a firmware update will help, since it is still very new. Because of the cost of the unit, and these erratic disconnects, I would not recommend this to a friend just yet.
