    I work at home and found one morning that my old Linksys router had died so it was off to Best Buy to find a replacement. Seeing what they had in stock and reading reviews I was drawn to the MAX-STREAM AC5400. Having 8 built in Ethernet ports made it perfect for my home office and the dual band WiFi would take care of the family needs. Setup was super easy and I was back online shortly after getting home. No issues since setting it up.

    I love this router. My old router would loose signal from the basement to the living room, and good luck getting a signal in the bedroom. With this router, I have not lost signal one time and I get signal all the way to the bedroom. I was looking at getting 2 repeaters for our house. I am so glad I found this router. Now I don't have to find a place for repeaters and I have string signal all through my house.

    The Linksys Max-stream made a great difference in the performance of our TV and wifi ! Quick response makes for a more satisfying experience at all levels. The difficulty was in set-up and Linksys support was very patient with the trouble encountered. Once the problem was worked out (we had no connection e.g. IP signal) everything has run smoothly. Thank you Linksys!

    What a difference!!!!

    I know it costs $350, it's a lot, but it's all worth it. In my office on 3rd floor, I was getting inconsistent 15+- mbps download / 15+- mbps upload. Over the years, I've tired different extender, I even planned to run long cat5 outside the house. But today, after hooking this monster up, I'm getting consistent 50+ mbps download / 30+ mbps upload. I just hope the speed stays this way long term.

    For as sophisticated and robust the capabilities of this router are, it's extremely easy to use. The best wifi signal strength I've seen. I get wifi almost 200 yards from my house! I admit that it's a little pricy, but it will keep up with growing internet speeds for years to come. It's ability to handle a lot of devices at the same time without slowing internet speeds is also a plus!

    The Linksys - EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router has been in use in my home for several months now. Set-up and home network integration was easy. Advanced functionality is also available. The wireless range is impressive. The router and all of our Wi-Fi-enabled devices have been running flawlessly since installation day one. I would highly recommend this best-in-class product.

    I Have Hue Smart Lights around the house, Apple TV, Xbox One S, 2 MacBooks, 4 iPhones, an iPad, a Ps4 pro, a 4k Smart Tv and a Fire Stick. This Router Easily powers these devices. I also like the fact that i can seamlessly set up a guest wifi password for visitors and the wifi still works great for them as well. The combination of AC technology and MU-MIMO is well executed on this unit.

    This router is just amazing! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor at first I thought it would be overkill. But my wife and I are very tech savvy people each of using 2-3 devices at a time each. And this is just what we needed both of us are free to roam our entire apartment building and we can even get signal from our cars in the parking lot! Highly recommended device!

    BEST ROUTER EVER

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

    I tried and wasted my time with so many other routers. I have found the perfect one. The AC5400 is the fastest and strongest router I've ever used. Linksys knocked it out of the park with this one! I recommended this router to all my friends, it boosted my isp speed by 50 mbps ! It gets amazing range and I've had it for 6 months now and it hasn't been restarted since i got it! A++++++
