    Great router for a two story home. Signal gets to every room, stream and online gaming is flawless. Make sure that you have good internet service as well (not AT&T). You can control what devices can access your network as well as change network name and password. Very easy set up all you need is the Linksys app which is free and doesn't take up a lot of space on your phone.

    After 10 years our router needed replacing, The Linksys was super easy to set up. Can be maintained from app on your smartphone. Has worked like a charm over the last couple of weeks with no issues. I would highly recommend this product. Best Buy had the best price and product was in-stock for same day pickup.

    My old router was outdated and did not produce very strong signal(s). Although I am still using a WiFi extender due to the configuration of my house, my signals are a lot stronger now throughout the house, out on my deck etc. Installation was also very easy. It has not lost connectivity since I installed it. So, it seems to be very reliable.

    Works great for 3,200 sq fr home. Manages up to 25 devices and I was amazed how many of my devices actually connect to the router. The app is easy to manage and set up. Only issue during set up was my modem recognizing the new router. If this occurs I recommend calling your internet provider and not the Linksys support number.

    Great router for the money. I did not want to spen 300 or more on a router but still wanted a decent one to connect all of our gadgets to. This one has exceeded my expectations. We have more than 10 things hooked up to this and it has not given us a problem at all. The best part is I spent under 200 for this.

    Works great, price was really fair at Best Buy. If you have a large house, consider buying two and running one as a node or buy a tri-band node to go along with this. Through two walls and about 80ft away I was getting 1-2 bars and 30megabits per second down speeds. Right next to it I would get 300mbs as a reference.

    Bought this to replace a router that was fried by a lightning strike nearby. It's really easy to setup via the iPad app, and has all the "advanced" features that my use-case requires (e.g. port-forwarding). Got it for $100 off, and it's able to reach through the plaster walls in the apartment all the way to the back rooms.

    Finally cut the cable and had to purchase a modem and router. Chose the Linksys based upon reviews and cost. Easy to set up and has been in service for about seven months and no problems so far. Also purchased the extenders and now entire house and detached office are on the net and seamlessly mesh.

    Quick and easy setup; signal strength is great! When my dual band Linksys stop broadcasting the 2.4 GHz channel I had no choice but to go out and buy a new router. Considering my Linksys router served me very well for so many years, I was skeptical about replacing it.

    Excellent for gaming and and 4K video streaming. No issues or lags of any sort so far. Highly recommended. Links ya is a trusted name when it comes to internet routers. LinkSys app is also very user friendly and provides us with host of options to manage the router.

    I had bought a Netgear Nighthawk Router in 2016 and it was complicated to set up and the Nighthawk completely broke down in July 2020 so I bought this Linksys router and it was a breeze to set up and their app is a lot easier to use as well. Happy with the purchase!

    This is a replacement for an earlier Linksys router that finally gave up the ghost after about 10 years of good service. The new one (this one) seems to work even better than the old one did, at about half the price of the earlier one.

    Really easy to set up and can be easily controlled through the app. My internet reliability and speed seem better since I upgraded to this router. My only knock is that it advertises 3,000 sq ft of coverage but my 1900 sg ft home still has poor reception in a couple areas.

    The antennas stay put, aren't wobbly like the first router I had. Was very easy to set up and connected easily to all my devices. Could definitely notice a speed difference, much quicker and a smaller footprint compared to its previous edition.

    This is a fantastic router with decent range. The signal definitely does drop when you move further away from the router but it still provides great speeds through my whole apartment.

    The Max-Stream AC3000 was easy to install. I was online in about 5 minutes. I received maximum bandwidth provided by my ISP, and the received full coverage in my 2-story, 2200 SF home (including garage and patio).

    Linksys's smart wifi setups are going strictly app based lately which means you need your phone and app to be near the router while you set it up. This can be problematic only because the app can randomly crash and leaves you having to start over or pick up where you left off for set up. Thankfully after having to force-close the app a few times I was able to successfully get through the set up and get this router going. This is a lightning fast router you won't regret this purchase!
