    This router was easy to setup and provides great wireless signal and speed. I like having the ability to monitor my wifi using my phone and laptop. The price was well worth it for this product.

    The time had come to upgrade my 6 year old router and this Linksys router was exactly what my family needed to meet our increased bandwidth volume. Exactly the right router at the right price.

    Incredibly Snappy!!

    Wow, I thought that I had a speedy router before and that the Mu-MIMO feature was just hype...I can assure you that it is not! I received this unit in exchange for my honest review and must say that it exceeded my expectations. With modern home networks now streaming on multiple TV's, and people online on multiple devices, I can say that this unit performs exceedingly well on all devices. I have seen a noticeable increase in browsing speed, which is sometimes hard to recognize from router to router, but this one set up in a few minutes and was much "peppier" than my last device (which again was a pricey and recent unit). I would definitely recommend this unit to friends!

    Cool router. Immediately improved signal throughout my house upgrading from an AC1200 router. No more need for a wifi extender. Always had good luck with Linksys routers in the past.

    Extremely fast and simple to set up

    This router replaced a Netgear R7000. I needed the Linksys technology to handle the family's ever increasing demand for Internet access on multiple devices. We just "cut the cord" and moved to full time TV streaming and the old router, while highly competent in it's own right, could not handle without severely slowing down access for some devices while others' had solid speeds. the MIMO technology in the Linksys router intelligently manages the network traffic and make sure that each device has the right amount of bandwidth to operate at it's best. The setup was simple and finished within a few minutes. Highly recommended.

    Very easy to setup. Took me less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Now I have some time to tweak a few things for optimal results but it works excellent right out the box.

    It has a LOT more power and range than the previous router I had, as well as dual channel high range ability. Three can easily work on separate things at the same time.

    Great Router

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First of all, I realized that the routers provided by cable companies are essentially worthless. I was paying for 200Mbs internet and was wondering why my wireless speed was tortoise-like. Lo and behold I run a speed test and I was getting at most, 35Mbps on wireless. I bought this router and it was very easy to set up. I love the Decepticon look it has! Easy to set up and as soon I was up and running, my hair was getting blown away with speeds. 191Mbps on wireless! Amazing. Glad I spent the money because this will hopefully be my router for a long time.

    Router was very easy to setup. I was able to configure the router while my wireless modem was functioning. Pulled the plug on the modem and everything worked.

    If you game and need it for day to day usage, this is the perfect router. You do not need to go for the higher AC because this is more than enough.

    Awesome Router

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a great router. I was sent this router as a free sample to review and give my honest opinion and this is a tri-band router and not a dual. With this router i didn't plug anything in by either net cable and just used wifi , I stream all of my tv show and boy it made my HD streaming look clearer and also very little to no waiting for my video games to load . In fact my computer even down loads faster . My honest opinion is that this is the best router that I have had yet so yes I would differently recommend this router to friends, family, and anyone!

    I upgraded from a 650N to the new AC2200. Night and day difference. At the furthest point in my house, my download speeds more than tripled what i was receiving. I have no issues whatsoever inside or outside my house and I find my phone holding onto the wifi until I get down the block from my house.

    Great while it worked!

    I purchased this router to replace an older Linksys because I needed a stronger signal to reach all of our house. The Linksys was somewhat difficult to set up, but I attributed that to my lack of knowledge. It worked very well for a month, but then it quit. All attempts to reboot, reset, etc. resulted in total failure although it would occasionally work for a few minutes. I spoke with technical support, but, due to his accent and my hearing impairment, I was unable to understand his instructions. I will write this off as an expensive lesson and will not buy Linksys again.
