    Followed the quick setup guide and internet was up and running in a few minutes. It has 3 Frequency bandwidths that can all use the same SSID. When connecting a device to the router, the router will automatically select the best frequency for your device. Great router for the price, I got it for $100 on black Friday.

    I have been having a problem getting a good connection when using PS Remote play from my PS4 to my PS VITA. Someone recommended to upgrade my router, and boy am I impressed. Not only are my internet speeds faster on my devices, but remote play streams flawlessly without any lag. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    Performance is Excellent. Tested the product with 4 devices (phones and TV) connected st same time and speed is good. Delivers the 100 MBPS speeds.. have not tried it for 1G speeds but sure it will be good. He range of the router does not cover distances more than 100 feet, So one must be in same apartment or house for WIFI signal. Will have to see if it lasts the 1 year warranty.

    I bought this router to replace my under performing VZ Fios wifi routers and it has been rock solid. With two teenagers I have a decent level of daily usage across multiple devices. It was easy to install and the range has been better than I expected. Good value at the price!

    Only have had it 1 week. So far it is great. Was fairly easy for a novice to hook up. Easy to switch existing devices to new router. Has not kicked anyone off internet as of yet. Old system did nearly everyday. Good working with Netflix and Amazon Prime for downloads.

    I went from 24 mbits to 64 just by changing to this router for my home wifi system. Menus are easy and has all the features a novice or expert would want. I have no problems with 4 pcs, 3 tables/netbooks, 4 phones, lazer printer, and 4k tv hooked up. No lag or issues.

    I bought this router on Black Friday. Got a really sweet deal. Installation was pretty simple. I have hooked it to my Xfinity connection and is working great. I have around 15 devices in my house all connected via this. Till now its giving excellent performance.

    My old router was having issues keeping up with all the devices I had connected. This router handles them with ease. The phone app gives u control from anywhere. The parental setting let u choose a schedule for each device as well as site blocking by device.

    Our previous Wi-Fi router was much slower and we experienced dropped signals in certain areas of our home. No more connectivity issues and much faster speeds with a strong signal all throughout our home.

    This was a simple choice. I needed a new wireless AC router to replace my apple airport extreme base station. The new router provides a stronger and stable connection. It was easy to set-up. I used the Linksys app to easily set-up and secure my network.

    I have a two story home, so I bought it for all my home automation stuff, I have 20 devices connected to this router 24/7. I have been using it for two weeks, no problem so far. Highly recommend for high speed over 100mbps and long distance.

    I had an old Asus router that was working well but we struggled with range. I researched a lot of different routers in the just under $200 range as that price range seemed to have router feature set I was looking for. I settled for the Linksys Max-Stream AC2200 and I am very happy with it. It was easy to setup, it's fast, I can manage some features on my phone, and the range is great. There are two spots (the furthest points) in my house that coverage starts to get reduced, but I retain connectivity as it transitions from 5 GHz to 2.4.

    I got this router at half price as a Black Friday door buster. No problems so far. Easy set up and seems to reach all parts to the home. I have 3 stories and the router is located in the basement. Only minor disappointment was that the router won't connect to a Netgear extender that I had using for the farthest point in the house.

    Best router I’ve owned. The app UI is so simple and easy to use. The parental functions make it easy to limit the Internet time for your teenagers. In terms of speed, I notice things up load and download faster wirelessly. Also the 5G setup and device priority is pretty sweet. I can make sure the PS4 doesn’t steal all the bandwidth when I’m working from home. In terms of reliability, it has worked flawlessly over the last month. No glitches. It is early,so if I have issues I will report it here.

    Just upped my Internet speed to 400 mbps so I wanted a router that could handle it. This is doing a great job in speed and coverage. Bought an extender because the coverage area is pretty spread out but I’m not sure I need it.

    Easy to install and manage, offers excellent speeds. All said and done, took about 10 minutes to install with necessary reboots. Also nice to have an app that manages the network traffic. Nothing negative to report as of yet!

    had a router that was about 7 years old. the range was fine for my old single level house but was just really spotty in the new three floor house. This router increased the speeds and range significantly. works as it should.

    Replaced my wifi with this device and the coverage is stellar. I am able to use wifi all over the house now with all my devices. With the auto distribution on three bands, I worry less about congestion and sluggish response.
