    Haven't had time to actually hook it up but I think it will make the wifi stronger in my kids room.

    Was a little annoying at first with the built in setup wizard, but I was able to bypass that and then setup was familiar to me and easy.

    A fine router with terrible software

    I hate this thing. It works well enough most of the time, but getting it set up was awful, and trying to manage it now that it's setup honestly isn't much better. We just moved in and needed wifi because the cellphone signal in our house is abyssmal, but without a computer, it can only be managed from the app they make you download, so between having to use data to download it and wrestling with the app itself, it took almost an hour longer than it needed to. Even the cableguy who initially tried to set it up for us had trouble. I have a much cheaper linksys router that can be set up in 5 minutes very simply from the browser on my phone. I think the purpose of the app is to better manage your mesh network, and this router seemed like a good choice since we need a second router anyways to cover the other half of the house, but I'm honestly not sure if it's worth the trouble.

    Having problems with setting up my Kada smart plugs with this router. Had to reinstall my old router to get plugs working good. Past return date so I guess I’ll have to keep this new one. Might try one more time to install and use smart plugs with it. It did help the WiFi but if it causes problems with smart plug it’s no use to me.

      Hi, Mare,

      The Linksys MR6350 Mesh WiFi 5 Router is compatible with most SmartHome devices. But, smart home devices might have trouble connecting to a mesh WiFi router. You can try to customize the MR6350s WiFi bands to see if that will let you connect your smart plugs.

      Should you need assistance with other Linksys devices, feel free to reach out to us at LinksysCares@linksys.com with the link to this review for our reference.

    Great router. Definitely recommend Linksys over NetGear. I have had 2 (more expensive) NetGear routers go bad. No issues with Linksys (knock on wood).

    Requires App To Setup

    You can’t set this up without using an app and having an existing Internet connection to the router. This does zero good if you are trying to set up a router THEN hook it to the net. It works otherwise but it’s an awful setup.
