    I’m very happy with the product but not the Best Buy in Waxahachie. It was on sale and because their machine was working I has to pay full price. I had to have it because my grandsons needed it for class on line. I will NOT be buying at Best But again! I asked for a manager and they wouldn’t do anything! Some they lost a regular customer!

    Easy to set up and maintain, some issue with getting devices to stay connected or nintendo switch needs to be on 2.4ghz or it will never connect. Wifi distance is okay, not good outside brick walls.

    This router has much improved the coverage for my wireless network. My only complaint was the lack of instructions for the installation. The flyer expected I would have internet service to connect to online Instructions. Duh! Why would I need a router? Used the 800 number and very friendly cust service made the install painless.

    So easy to set up. Just downloaded the app and followed the simple instructions to set it up. Saving myself 15 dollars a month renting the wifi router from Verizon. This was perfect for me as I only do streaming to the TV.

    Pro: Easy to setup and add to my existing network as a mesh node. Con: Tried to connect with ethernet but light kept turning yellow, meaning weak/poor signal. USB worked flawlessly though.

    Bad customer service from Best Buy and Linksys. I bought as a present. Total of 3 hours of trouble shooting with Best Buy and Linksys. Thats more time than the thing worked. I only wanted some store credit for the 4 days of working on the router.

    Was told by cable company to update my router for better internet service. I was getting medium signal strength. After installing this newer router my speed increased a little, but my signal strength is still medium, lol. Very possible it's the cable company. Cheers!

    This product functioned well, however, it did not work with the internet provider’s equipment as it was made redundant by the ISP’s equipment. Returned to store, though I would have kept it if I did not already have what I needed from ISP.

    Max Stream AC1300 good coverage, tricky to install

    The Max stream, AC1300 provides good wi-fi coverage in my 2500 sq ft house. However the installation instructions enclosed are inadequate, and unless you are a tech geek, you will have to call Linksys tech assistance to be able to get the router to function.

    It was easy to setup, however it requires you to download their app in order to do so. I’ve had it for over a month now and haven’t noticed any lag. The signal is sometimes slow maybe because it’s in another room.

    I have my PS5, XBX Series X, TV, and Alexa all plugged into this router and my streaming/gaming speeds are very good! I connect this to the main router/modem in my house, and it's like I have my own private network in my room!
