    Poor support for this particular issue

    Tech support couldn't understand that the router wasn't working because it was indicating it wasn't receiving an internet connection from the modem. Plugging a computer directly into the modem worked but the router still indicated no internet from the modem despite numerous reboots of both modem and router as well as replacing the modem, same results. Best Buy's tech support was totally useless. Had to replace the 6 month old router since I needed to have my network up and working, couldn't wait for the old one to go back to Linksys for replacement.

    Old router bad (broke) New router good (works). Set up takes a little time. If you don't have a smart phone it would be a pain.

    I am so f----n sick of every g-d-mn thing with a blinking light requiring a g-d-mn app, and every one of these apps is a halfa--ed piece of c--p, and Linksys decided to take it one step further and require a g-d-mn account to set up the d-mn thing. They don't allow any way around it and some gibbering witless suit at Linksys thought this was a good idea. I desperately need this thing to give me an excuse to return it. I've lost count of the number of access points and routers and other network blinkenlights I've set up in two decades and this is the first one that got me so p----d off I wanted it to use it for target practice before I was even done setting it up. I chose Linksys because of fond memories of their WRT54G line and past devices and now the very sight of their logo is going to reignite a seething contempt for anything they make. So far the range on this thing is just barely better than the older device of a different popular brand that it replaced.

    I have had this router for 2 days and is seems decent enough, but it says that it is good for a 2700 ft house. Nope. Mine is less than 2500 ft and the Wifi does not reach upstairs. I was hoping that I would not have to use an extender, but I have to. Otherwise it has been fine. Easy to set up.
