Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great product. I have extensive internet coverage throughout my residence. When other products are connected to it, there is no lag in internet perfromance. When my granddaughter comes over to watch Elmo on YouTube on the 55" UHD TV, it runs smoothly without interuption even if it's a HD file. It does a great job with Video Calling from my smartphone. It is a bit pricey but you also get 3 years of Parts, Labor & Technical Support included . I look forward to gaming with it with my grandchildren when they get older!

I was looking at this Max Stream router from Linksys because of the speed and the 8 Ethernet ports on the router. The network is more stable than the AC1900 that I had purchased previously. This also has the ability to merge with the extender that works with this router to make it appear like it is one Network, instead of Network and Network Extender and automatically changes to the stronger network without having to change it myself. I purchased as a Deal of the Day from Best Buy back in December. Great buy.

I needed a new router for my home to get better coverage. This router definitely did the trick and is surprisingly easy to set up.

Great technology, especially at this price. Easy setup. Covers my long narrow house with 10x speed of my previous EA6900

I recently turned my Comcast/Xfinity modem/router to "bridge mode" and installed this Linksys EA9500 router. I now have full coverage in my home, even without an extender. This totally fixed my wifi issues.

I have had another Linksys performance router and had to get an extender. It has been acting up especially since all my neighbors have also upgraded WIFI equipment. I literally had to manually manage the channels and also had issues with slow speeds. Usually fixed by changing channels and/or rebooting the entire system. Since I got the EA9500 all has been quite no issues dropping connections or slow speeds. Already ordered my MaxStream extender to make sure my whole house is covered.

This is the best router for bang for buck. Linksys is an amazing brand and has super reliable customer support! I have had both netgear and Linksys's highest end models (Ex. Netgear AD series) and yes the netgear has better specs but only if the router is in the same room as the devices you are using. so that AD signal will not be very worth it in a decent sized home/apartment at all. The router is super easy to set up. Good if you are doing lots of gaming/streaming/high bandwidth applications.

I got this WiFi to replace my old router i have to say it's the best router i have own to date. I needed something stronger that would get wifi to the second floor. I have to say this thing is a beast no drop connection even on the second floor. . The fact that it have Tri-Band was a selling point for me i can change the name of each band and put a password for each. So i have one just for my brother. Once i got this router we both can steam and play games without issue.

It's great!. Great upgrade from my ac1200. No more lag on my pic and dramatically faster downloads on my Xbox one.

Unboxing it felt powerful. Plugging it in felt powerful. Configuring it -- well, that was easy and exciting. This router has been a dramatic upgrade, with the newest and latest network protocols and WiFi technology. Among those, the MU-MIMO technology, which has the ability to intelligently route to multiple devices. We've seen dramatic increases in speed to all of our IoT devices and are excited for the new paradigm this box sets with us. Highly recommended.

I was so excited to receive this router! We stream a LOT and I have security cameras in my network so we need the extra bandwidth that this would provide. Unfortunately I had to unhook it due to only ONE out of six of my cameras working on this router. I was extremely disappointed due to this. I do love the app though and the ease of the rest of the setup. Fast router, but I need all my networked equipment to work. I contacted support for linksys, but I had an emergency and they said I could call back. They closed the ticket without actually resolving anything.

extra antennas are good for max coverage and the speed is better than most

By all means the best router for the money! Linksys knocked it out of the park with range and speed! A must have!

Router was very simple to set up. It is handling all the demands of our 4 plus children at home. Range is good.

This unit extended the range and strenght of the wifi signal as compared to my old unit. It was easy to set up.

Outstanding router. Very easy to setup and maintain. 2800 sq ft home is covered end to end with no dead spots.

I love the router except I got the dual-core one instead of the quad-core one. But it does run fast and very reliable

Love my Linksys - EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router - black. Easy to use. Quick wifi upload

I decided to spend the money on this because I have a lot of devices at home and I do notice when I have a lot online at same time with xfinity service some are slow loading. When I got this hooked up there was a big difference on speed and I feel better about the price. If you use the app you can see and control it which is nice. And my wifi signal has increased. If you can get over the price you will be happy once you start using it.

I bought this router right when it came out just over 3 years ago and have been beyond impressed with it. I have NEVER had an issue with the router power cycling, not sending connection, not displaying or being discoverable, not having enough range for a 3 story home and even a single issue with capacity. Have ran it in 250mb service in Xfinity with a 32 channel modem and have replaced the modem twice already. It has a lot of devices on it from 2 4K TVs, PS4, Nintendo Switch, about 20 hues light bulbs on bridge, 10 Sonos speakers, 4 smartphones, a desktop, a laptop, 2 iPad, 4 nest cameras, nest thermostat, nest protect, smart door lock, garage door opener, etc. Super easy to set up and manage as well. On the more expensive end but worth every penny due to piece of mind and lack of frustration. Beyond pleased with this product, will always recommend
