    I ordered on-line with in-store delivery--I highly recommend this approach. The first one I received would not install--returned it and received a replacement. The replacement installed right away as indicated in the instructions. I then altered the LAN addresses, SSID names and passwords to match my earlier wi-fi router (a Linksys EA6350). I then reinstalled my range extender (Linksys RE6500) which serves the Family Room TV and Roku. The Tri-band Router gives me better range on the bedroom side of the house-which I needed for lap-tops, phones and Kindles. Note that the desktop computers and printers are wired into my Xfinity Router, I have turned off its SSIDs, since I don't need them.

    Good performance after a configuration tweek

    I replaced an older Linksys router with this one, so the setup was familiar to me. The setup is accessed with your computer browser and is fairly easy to understand. However, after installing the router, my computer OOKLA speed test was much slower than I knew was being provided by my ISP. Checking on some internet forums I found out that increasing the speed "settings" in the "Media Prioritization" menu might help. In fact, it resulted in my getting the full speed. It is certainly not an obvious tweek, and I am not sure if it works for everyone, but it worked in my case. Apparently this "throttling" aspect of Linksys routers is a known issue, (at least to some people) so don't assume the unit is defective.

    This replaced a well used D Link which replaced a well used Linksys. I had to go back to Linksys. The setup and install was a breeze. Coverage was better. Speed was better. Family was happy.

    The router is easy to set up and works well, it automatically switches devices from the 2.4 to 5 mhz band accordingly which its higher priced brother (AC4000) doesn't do at all from my experience. Router does not cut out and works great no complaints.

    If you're paying for over 100mbps download internet at your house, you must buy this router! Perfect for streaming and having multiple laptops going at the same time without any lag.

    Good, but not great router

    Purchased for my in-laws to help speed up their internet and extend range in their 2,200 SQFT home. I did purchased on Black Friday 2017 at half price and the reviews seemed very good. Install was very simple and used the web based setup through the computer (can use Linksys app to setup). Features some very complex setting, which is great for those that need port forwarding and more, its also can be super easy. Firmware update is also on the easy side. I made sure the newest firmware was updated. The reason for the 4 and not 5 star review, is due to the weak signal. I could walk 30 feet away from the router and drop 1-2 wi-if signal bars on my iPhone or iPad, which is very odd. I had the router properly placed on a desk with all antennas correctly placed... not objects blocking the router. If I would have paid normal Best Buy price and not Black Friday deal, would give 3 stars for over all value.

    There's nothing worse than having your router bite the dust when you are working from home! Used my phone's 4G to quickly review routers and found that this Linksys Max-Stream model had good reviews everywhere I looked. I completely agree with all of the positive reviews that I read. Set-up was a breeze, the Linksys seamlessly synced up with all of my WiFi devices and, even though it is located in my basement, the signal is strong throughout my home. I was up and running in no time!
