    This router/switch is amazing. I won't be able to max it out for a few years. The best feature is the 8 Gbit ports on the back.

    Best Router I have ever used!

    This EA9500 router replaced a Cisco/Linksys e1200 in my two-story 2500+ square foot house. The e1200 had been doing a good job, but I occasionally had trouble getting a strong signal on the 2nd floor on the side furthest from the router. After unboxing the AC5400, unplugging the e1200, and clearing a space in my cabinet for the new router (it’s BIG!) I had it up and running in just a couple of minutes. The antennas (all 8 of them) are easily adjustable, which is good because they were too tall for the space I had. :) I am now able to get a 5 bar out of 5 connection on my upstairs Blu-Ray player, and every device I have is connecting at a faster speed than before. My old router only had 2.4 GHz, so the microwave oven always caused issues. This one has 2.4 GHz PLUS two separate 5 GHz bands, so that issue is gone for my newer devices. And the Device Map feature on the router is great, as it shows all of the online (and offline if you want) devices that are connected, and what band they are connected to. I never realized I had 15 devices in my house!! You can prioritize bandwidth for specific devices, so I set all three of our Roku boxes to be highest priority. No one wants their binge watching to buffer! :) I also tested the parental controls, which can block traffic by individual device; for certain times; or even for specific websites. May not need that much, but it does work well. There is also a guest account available, to prevent folks from accessing your PCs and data while still getting connectivity. You can also access the router remotely, and Linksys has free app for SmartPhones to make that easier. Other features that I would like to test, but haven’t had the chance – USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports on the rear, which would be perfect for sharing a printer and a storage drive. I cannot recommend this router enough – it has surpassed all my expectations! If you have a lot of devices, do a lot of streaming and/or gaming, or have a large area to cover – pick up the Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream Router!!

    Reliable Router

    Reliable so far after 3 weeks of continuous operation. Band steering seemed to reduce 5g range which increased after I turned it off.
