    I needed a more powerful router than the router I had been using for 10+ years. I stayed with Linksys brand because my prior router was one. It always worked well, so I figured I'd upgrade a bit. I bought this router because it would allow more streaming from multiple sites in my home. I have NOT been disappointed. This router was easy to set up and worked right away. There have been times when we stream a bit too much and the download gets bogged down a bit, but overall, it works beautifully. I unplug it to clear it out and reset it regularly which seems to help. I haven't had any problems with this router at all and would highly recommend it.

    This is the best tri-band router that I have used, and I have tried out many. Super easy to set up and connect everything. I have a strong signal in any part of my house which has always been an issue for me in the past.

    I finally broke down and replaced my 7 year old wireless router with the Linksys AC2200. Set up was quick and easy, and instantly, I noticed a significant improvement in range and speed. I highly recommend this product.

    I was looking to upgrade from an older linksys model. So far, so good. This router’s signal reaches much further than my old one, which was my main issue before. Setup was a breeze also. Very happy with this purchase!

    Upgraded from a E3000 router since it started to show its age with having so many smart devices online. Setup was a 10 minute tops and used the exact same network name and password so saved from having to setup every device in the house again! Kids stopped complaining about lag with their game systems and I seriously picked up at least 100 ft of WiFi coverage outside the house and have zero dead zones inside. Absolutely LOVE the mobile app feature and being able to turn certain devices on & off and set schedules for them also. Don't have to stumble into the kids rooms to turn off their devices from playing videos all night. Can kill their WiFi until they get their chores done or for quick punishment...HAHAHAHAHA!

    I had troubled modem-router with single band from Netflix which have been using for 2years. Though i had 100 gbps speed but over wifi i was getting under 6 gbps, i was totally frustrated and called Xfinity multiple times and they said they can't look into the product as its from Third party. So i started investigating on my own and found that router is at fault. I bought linksys which they say is triband , not sure about the third band. But definitely it will provide you great speed over wifi. I have 100 gbps connection and after buying this router i am getting speed of 116-118 gbps over wifi which is great. I can happily do my office work via vpn. I very content with the purchase of this router.

    I bought this product to replace my aging N router. This was so easy to setup and easy to manage using the app on my smartphone. Best of all, the wireless speeds are faster and no more buffering.

    I've been very happy with this router. Routers are a lot like cell phones these days in that you only seem to get about 2 years of good use out of them. While my old Linksys was still going strong, I was starting to see some issues come up. I picked this up on Black Friday and it has been awesome. It has dual 5 GHz bands and a 2.4GHz so it would take a lot of devices to overload this thing. I get a solid signal throughout my 1 story house. I think the best part about this router is the app. You can do just about anything you want through the app and it's all pretty straight forward. It handles updates, device prioritization, restart, guest access, etc. I'm very happy I upgraded.

    Very easy to set-up. Decent range and has dual band 5 GH & 2.4 GHz and guest account. The WPS button for quick connectivity to wireless devices works well. No dropped signals so far.

    Compared to a dual band router it doesn't put out that up front speed but does get close. 3 floor small home works great to reach all corners. The tri band feature is fantastic for multiple devices though. Haven't seen a bit of speed decline as with the dual band.

    This router has the capacity for all of my wi-fi needs. It is easy to set up right out of the box. After installation, my internet speeds exceeded the rating from the provider. Additionally, it has boosted my smart phone signal at my home because the phone will automatically switch to wi-fi on any call that is encountering a weak signal. No more dropped calls! This is an outstanding router for the money.

    We needed to replace an older router that served us well for over five years. However, we found that many of our devices started to disconnect from Wi-Fi, and streaming of Netflix and Amazon videos had issues. We purchased the EA8300 on Black Friday as Best Buy had a great price for it. It was delivered in a timely manner and set up on the day we received it. Setup was extremely easy, all devices connected without any issues, and we now have great speeds/connection all over the house. The EA8300 has all the features that we need for our current situation and we are extremely pleased with our purchase.
