    The router works great with a couple minor exceptions. My older thermostat will not connect to it and a couple laptops will disconnect and not reconnect until I reboot them.

    I want to say it’s the router but I believe my internet provider is the problem. When I first got it I felt like every device worked perfectly but now it too many devices are on my computer doesn’t take. I would have to get my internet fixed first. Other than that the router is pretty easy to connect and get started it also has an app you need to download to control which I thought was pretty cool. You can turn on or off or give access to people through the app which I thought was a cool feature.

    Since we are all home these days, everyone using their own tech, we needed a more powerful router. Once set up we are streaming so much better.

    These newer routers do not lend to the same adjustments as older routers. Example 1: i wanted to change the third octet and had a very difficult time finding where that was buried. Example 2: if you go along with 'priority devices' you will actually be ramping down all devices to fit those priorities. I am not real happy about it. The only newish feature I find useful is that you can do a speedtest on the router to verify your ISP is delivering advertised speeds.

    The setup instructions were less than minimal, but setup was reasonably easy, if you have had a previous router, you should be able to do this.

    I have to say this is a great router! Setup was super easy, there's an app to download and you just follow that. All my devices connected right back up. I ran a speed test on it and I'm pulling in 42 megs on a 40 Meg plan. With my old routers the highest I got was 32. Signal strength is excellent. I can see the signal outside of my aluminum sided house. Before I couldn't! I upgraded to the dual band and love it. No more Bluetooth interference with the 2.4 ghz channel. I moved everything (Alexas) to the 5 ghz and no more dropping and disconnecting. Super!

    Easy. Fast. Stable. Great App. Room for the future

    The quick version of my review is that the router is easy to use, fast, stable, has nice coverage, comes with a great app and gives you the ability to expand if needed in the future. It pretty much checks every box. It has a nice design for a router. Muted black, simple and not TOO large. It is solidly built and has good connectivity with 4 ethernet ports and a single USB 3 port. Set-up is very easy. Connect it to your modem, download the Linksys App and follow the steps. That’s it. I had zero issues. I really love all the functionality the app provides as well as its design. I love the UX. I can see the network, traffic, devices, set controls and a host of other functions. It is just so convenient to simply open the app and have data and control at your fingertips. As for performance? Again, it is great. Devices connect without issue, stay connected, and do so all over my space. My space is not that large, but this thing is rated for over 3,000 sq ft, so it should meet many people needs. Of course, building construction and floors...etc… are something to think about. That said, all of my devices are solid, and I have been getting great speeds. I recently made the move to 300 Mbps internet and while my wired connections outpace them, the W-Fi speeds I am seeing with this router are fantastic. I consistently test in the 150 range. Not only that, I seemingly cannot even dent the connections. I typically have over 20 devices connected, and while they are not usually all active at the same time, I can hammer away with concurrent streams (4K in there as well), games, updates and other uses and everything hums along and is rock solid. I really have no complaints. Further, as I mentioned earlier, my space is easily covered with this router, but it does have the ability to expand by adding Linksys Velop nodes to the network. A really nice future/issue proof feature. Lastly, as I stated in my opening, this router does everything I need it to, and does it well. Easy set-up. Great and easy to use app. Fast speeds. Stable connectivity. Blanket coverage. Future proofing. I think it has a great balance of features, it has been able to handle everything I have thrown at it and I am very happy with it so far. Depending on your needs or use case, I think it should be worth a look.

    Works fine. I do like the interface through the Linksys website. Does allow to see at a glance IP addresses for everything linked to it. Ya get what you pay for.

    This is a quality product. I have noticed a difference in the speed of my connection, especially streaming in the upstairs bedrooms.
