The range works well in my 1,100ft apartment. Covers all areas and goes through walls. Linksys app made the setup very easy. Can prioritize 3 devices for bandwidth in the app. For some reason my PS4 doesn’t work with but don’t think it is the router. Everything else works perfect!

Purchased this as a replacement for an Airport connected to Spectrum modem. Setting up the router was the simplest process, and it worked the first time. Our service with Spectrum is rated at 200Mbs, and the router is getting a strong 234Mbs (don't tell spectrum!).

I have plaster walls with metal mesh which makes getting signal through walls nearly impossible. I decided the mesh Wifi was the way to go. I got this and somehow it's able to penetrate walls like AC routers weren't able to do before. So far, no drops and it's noticably faster than the previous AC1200

Nice Router

Nice router, easy set up. The only thing is when they tell you to download the App to set it up, they should specify which one! I went to Apple Apps and downloaded the first Linksys app I saw. It turned out to be the wrong one, which actually when I set it up from the PC was a little trickier and which made me Reset the thing, which put me back to "factory". I went back to the iPhone app and found the correct one. Once I did that everything came up and worked like a charm. So when I say easy set up, that means you better pick the right app. Otherwise running fine now.

We needed to replace our Linksys router which had worked perfectly for years. We needed a more robust signal as we are using more devices. This was easy to set up with very little interruption in service. The app works well and our signal strength has improved all over the house and deck.

I was using an older router that had become a bit less reliable. I thought a lot of my issues were from my IP. I was wrong. This is a fantastic router, speeds are always fast and the ease of use on the app and their website is very good. I have had no issues and would recommend this to anyone.

Great router! I used to have a wifi 4 router and upgraded to this affordable wifi 6 and I can tell you it is amazing! Worth it. The app is excelente and let’s you control all your devices and settings. Very easy to setup!! Also like it has only one light and not 10 lights blinking like my previous one.

All i can say is i never had a issue with AX1800. Set up was about 10 to 15 minutes once i figured out what i was doing. After that never had any issues except when there was a power outage and just reboot and all was good.

Got this and a modem for my parents as they were still using the original Comcast modem/router combo from years ago. It got them off paying the rental fee and this router has SOOOOO much more range than that old one from Comcast. Even they couldn't believe the difference. Great purchase all around!

I'm using it as an extender in my den but I ran a network cable down to the den so this makes the Wi-Fi signal much stronger than a regular Wi-Fi extender would be and my family loves it.
The set up was easy and I didn't have to make many choices or do some complicated setup for it to work.

My really old Linksys router decided to suddenly stop working after many years of faithful service. Our home is 1600 sq ft, so the AX1800 looked to be the best fit. Within 15 minutes of getting home from Best Buy, I had downloaded the app on my phone and was done configuring the router. Was able to reuse the previous router names and passwords, so didn't have to change a thing on all of our devices. Highly recommend the Linksys brand, solid coverage for our 4 streaming tv's and a PS5.

Home Router, But Missing QoS

This router offers all the essential home features I require. However, I was disappointed to find that the QoS features have been removed. While this may be expected from a consumer product, it is still a drawback. Overall, it's a great product that performs as advertised. I'm not a fan of having to use a phone to complete the setup. Call me old-fashioned, but sometimes I prefer not to rely on my phone for everything, especially the initial setup.
