    This router was extremely easy to set up, literally just plug and go. I'm very satisfied with it as my internet speeds have never been faster. I hope linksys continues to make such great products!

    Best Router out there.

    After trying two top of the line routers from net-gear and being very unsatisfied. I took the leap and bought the EA-9500. From day one I have had nothing but great satisfaction from this router. Everything from ease of setup, ease of use and reliability make this the best router on the market.

    Good router, missing features for the price point

    Good range on the 5g band, handles my gigabit connection well (my previous tmobile branded asus ac-1900 could only handle ~600 down). With 8 gigabit ports and the price its selling at, it should really support port bonding

    It's a little expensive but definitely worth it for those who use gigabit Internet. I get range in my whole house and experience zero lag. And you definitely can't go wrong with 3 year warranty.

    This is the third tri-band router I purchased at Best Buy. The first two Netgear Nighthawks failed due to a firmware issue. This router was so much easier to set up and has not failed yet. Very pleased with the router and its range.

    great for multi user households

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have used the router for over two months. Its worked without any problems since it was setup. you can setup three devices as priority devices. I use my smart phone to monitor and maintain my WI-fi network. It comes with four years of 25-7 support and warranty. I choose this router because I am able to setup my wife's work computer with priority usage.There are eight Ethernet ports along with eight Wi-Fi antennas. This router is capable of performing many more tasks then I have used so far, looking forward to learning about more of its capabilities. I look at reviews from numerous sources along with contacting customer service about products I am interested in.

    Great router

    Speeds are pretty good. It's great to have all of the Ethernet ports. Annoying tinkering with opening ports for gaming. I enjoyed the Nighthawk X8 more, but I had two of them have hardware failures so I tried something new.

    This is exactly what you think it should be: Powerful, long range, multi-device, etc. Super easy to setup and manage it's pretty much plug and play. Only knock - it isn't cheap.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC

    I purchased this particular router because of the speed and power that it harnesses in my home Wi-Fi network. Being a MIMO device (multiple input-multiple output) was also a MAJOR decision factor for me. Its blazing fast and can support a TON of connected device. I opted to get this device vs a less-powerful router, in order to future-proof my household. In other words, as I add more and more wifi-connected devices in my home, the Linksys - EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router will be able to handle all the extra connections without allowing down my network! Love this router and would highly recommend!!
