Doubled my speed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is amazing to see my internet speed doubled after installing a new router. I had an older Linksys Velop and after a good comparison/research with Eero and Orbi I decided to get this one because it was on sale and had great reviews.

Expert home coverage
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an absolute must for those of us needing better coverage in larger homes! I will say I am not the most techno savvy individual so I did call the Linksys help line and they were amazing and patient with guiding me.

Posted .Hi, GaryjW,
The Linksys MX55EC3 offers massive simultaneous capacity for video, gaming, and high-speed data and has a coverage of up to 8,100 sq ft. Let’s make sure that the nodes are running on the latest firmware versions and place the nodes in an open area, free from common obstructions such as thick walls, metal objects, ceiling, etc. Please update us at LinksysCares@linksys.com so our Escalation Engineers can further assist you. Include your contact information and the link to this post for our reference.
Regards,

Horrible setup for devices with no range
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These devices have the worst set up of any device I have ever seen. First you need to install an app that requires location and an account. Fine, mandatory spyware is just how it is these days. Then the app just fails non-stop. It sets up the first device just fine, but all of the others it says that they need to be closer, even when they are six inches apart and both hard wired into the same network on the same switch. It gives no error codes, diagnostics or useful information of any kind. Just a nag to call over the phone for help. There is no manual. I don't know why it takes so long, but every failed attempt takes over 15 minutes of your time, during which your phone can't be more than a few inches from the device, and you can't use bluetooth. Over and over again it failed for 6+ hours. But hey, there's a 24/7 help line that you can listen to the hold music on while your device continues to not work. Maybe consider including a manual or basic troubleshooting information if you "are experiencing higher than normal call volume"? On the upside, I ordered this from Best Buy who has traditionally been great about returning.

Posted .Hi, TerranceL,
The actual coverage will depend on your network environment, but there are ways to improve it, like placing the router away from physical obstructions. We recommend putting it somewhere high or in an elevated area to get around the obstructions. Neighboring wireless networks and appliances that operate on the same frequency as your wireless device will also cause interference affecting the overall connection.
Please get in touch with us at LinksysCares@linksys.com, so we can isolate and provide better recommendations on optimizing the router. Just include your contact information and a link to this review as a reference.

Nothing but issues. Drop outs.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had nothing but issues with this product. At first, I was impressed with the looks, feel, and weight of it. But they constantly had WIFI drop outs, even while they were hardwired! The app constantly showed them disconnected. Just a mes. Returned to get a better product.

Works as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was very easy. Spacing throughout the house was straightforward. Doesn’t have the range of a stand alone range booster but it does spread the WiFi signal around the house.

Not my favorite
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well when working. Pairing and re boots were the main issue. The set up was difficult that I had to call customer services every time. I had better luck with Google mesh system

Great Product, Great Price, Great Best Buy !!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Linksys Wifi Router was priced very competitively, shipped and arrived intact on-time. Installation was up and running within 1 hour, although I had to call Linksys for a few questions. I also made the purchase at BB, because I knew the Geek Squad was available. The AX5300 3-pack provides excellent reception and speed for the 20 devices we are using, in a 5400 sq ft, 2 level house. Best But is getting very competitive with their pricing, and their support has always been the best. I have been using other suppliers for the last few years, as a BB was not local to me. But will now check @ BB in the futures. The purchase was made easily online, with no assistance or questions needed.

Very Satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems to work pretty good once we got it all set up. Customer service was great about troubleshooting and helping me with set up and installation over the phone. We have a large home and our wifi was not reaching our outside cameras but now they all get good reception and work the way they are supposed to thanks to this system
