    Not a bad router but if you already run a tri-band AC router, I’m not sure it’s fully worth the upgrade. I have a household that’s running 20-25 connected devices. I’m not an advanced user, so just a disclaimer about that. My comments are based off a week of use and may change as time goes on. Hopefully for the better as I learn to tweak some settings. Pros Use – I’m not a power user so I can’t attest to the uber features. Overall it was easy to setup. The web interface is nicely laid out. Easier to deal with than my old Netgear router. Ports – 8 Ethernet ports right on the router, that’s nice. My old router had 4 and I was finding myself trying to prioritize devices between two locations. The second supported by a MOCA adapter that also only had 4 ports. MU-MIMO – It appears to work. I’ve noticed that my phone is has more pep on wifi than it used to. Cons Size – This bad boy is big. I may have to reconsider my device arrangement as the primary ones were in a shallow height TV stand. This won’t fit on the shelf and I have to leave it exposed up with the TV. I have it there because that's where my cable modem is feeding the DVR. Speed – This isn’t so much a con as it is just not the results I was expecting to see. Transfer speeds aren’t any faster than they were with my other router which was also an AC3200 router. Price – It’s probably the most expensive home router I’ve seen to date.

    I brought this item to replace an older slower netgear router , but half of my home equipment did not see the Linksys WiFi. Even when I did a manual input. So after several atempts, I had no choice but returned the item to Bestbuy.

      Hi, Nick,

      We regret to hear that the EA9500 Router is no longer with you. Your experience is very uncommon and we could have requested one of our Escalation Engineers to optimize the router's settings to ensure that all your devices can connect without issues. Should you wish to give it another chance, don't hesitate to email us anytime at [email protected].


      Best regards,

      Jay
