    Great router!

    Great coverage around the house with no dead spots. Always have multiple devices going at the same time with no issues or pauses. Great for streaming 4k content without load times and fast connection to gaming consoles. The kids are always happy with the connection quality while streaming shows on their devices unlike old routers that required constant resets and caused complaints. Best part of all is the management! I am a huge fan of the linksys app and ease of setup or prioritizing but most of all is how easy it is to make sure my kids are not sneaking in any videos while they are supposed to be in bed or doing homework, I can cut access to any device right from the app on my phone and turn it back on when I want just as easy. Great product with even better management that makes life easier and stress free. I received this product from Linksys for my fair and honest review.

    Good Router with one exception

    I replaced the Google On-hub with router because the range of the On-hub was subpar and the family controls did not work consistently. This router has much more range but the parental controls could be better. I would still recommend this router to all.

    Great router, highly recommended

    I've had this router set up for about 2 weeks now, and it has been rock solid. No crashes or reboots - up 24/7. And I can't believe how much more responsive all of my networked devices have been - and I have about 28 of them! I really like almost all of the features of this router. For instance, it has a really straightforwad support for VLAN tagging - essential for my ISP (Centurylink). This feature is rare among routers and Linksys got it right. If you have Centurylink Fiber that requires VLAN tagging, this router will connect directly to the ONT (ethernet cable from exterior connection). I was able to get rid of an extra managed switch I was using for my prior router. The management and configuration interface is very well organized and easy to use, with all the features you would expect in an advanced router, and more. I love the network map, and the ability to assign friendly names to all your devices. I also like being aware of every device that connects to my network. I was put off at first by the guest network, as it requires guests to log in with a browser. But after testing it for a while, I found that once you enter the guest password to the web browser, it works just like any other remembered wifi connection. No hassles. With my Android phone and linux laptop, I found that after leaving my home and comming back, these devices automatically re-connected to the guest network, without requireing the web browser login. My only criticism is that think it would be better if it had WPA2 encryption available for the guest network. The available Android app is also really solid. It has an outstanding user interface that is easy to use, logical, and aesthetically pleasing. This is true of all the linksys software I've encountered so far (including the web interface in the router). I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

    My new computer and Roku are now connected on the AC side. Computer loads web pages about three time faster. Even the older laptop running wireless N is faster. Fast install and easy setup. Only complaint I have is the price for the speed.

    Letting me wonder around the house with my laptop and getting top speed is great! Also the streaming movies look good too. The setup is flawless and that's what I expect from Linksys. Thanks for the performance and clean setup.

    This router was the easiest router I have ever set up.I am an old retired lady, not tech savvy at all, so if I can do it anyone can. Working really good so far, no dropped signals. Will give any updates as they come up.

    My 2 year old NetGear along with an ISP that kept dropping was making my life miserable. I went and got the Linksys - Max-Stream™ AC2200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router and had the ISP Tech out to fix in-house issues and so far so good. No drop offs and I get a better signal in the back of the house compared to the old router. I'm happy with my purchase.

    I purchased this router after a different branded router died and their support was unable to help. This Linksys router was easy to set up, has great speed and works well with multiple devices. Thank you Linksys and Best Buy!

    The AC 2200 wireless router from Linksys is working perfectly! The staff at Best Buy were very helpful and recommended this as the best option for my home. They were spot on, from easy set-up to great Wi-Fi coverage, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank-You!

    The tri-band router was easy to setup. The speed is good and the switching between the bands is faster than the dual band AC router that was replaced. The router switching between demand loads seems to work really well.

    This router was definitely the easiest I have ever set up. The Linksys app also allows you to control everything to a T. Being that it is a tri-band router and in use with the linksys app you can give priority to certain devices to enhance your internet experience on the devices. Having the extra 5ghz band is a life saver when you have 4k Netflix streaming in multiple rooms at once. This router touts the latest technology at an affordable price for small to medium size living areas (1000-1500 sq. ft.). Also has 4 gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB 3 port for external USB or NAS. ZERO complaints here. Overall rating is a 9 out of 10. In my opinion they could have added 2 more antennas, but maybe that's me just being selfish.
