    Great general router. This has been working great with two iPads, iPhone, ans Samsung smart tv wirelessly connected. Easily streams HD content from amazon and Netflix.

    Purchased this router for my brother to use in his dorm room. The wireless connection in his dorm room is poor so this works great to help him stay connected while in his room. It also allows him to do wireless printing.

    I'm a college student living with a roommate in a smaller sized house. This works perfectly for what I need it for. I run wireless Internet through my apple products and laptop. Wired through my Xbox and smart TV. There are plenty of ports for everything I need. No complaints. Solid purchase for the price.

    While this device works exactly as it should, we had a nightmare of a time trying to recover the password from the manufacturer. Better customer service on the manufacturer end would've increased our rating of its product.

    Unfortunately I had to return it as it cannot support of lot of connections. But during the time I had it, it did not disconnect or drop at all. I would certainly recommend it for a small house or apartment. Value for money.

    I've been using this wifi-router for over a month now, intensive use at home for Netflix, school and work. Not issues at all. I wish it has lights indicator in the front, not only in the back, will make life easier.

    The wireless part of this router is very poor. I have good strength but I have to restart it several times a day. When I contacted best buy they just wanted to send a tech at 99.00 No phone or online support

    Great buy! I was somewhat nervous about the set-up because im not a tech person but it was a breeze... However I do lose a bar from my signal when I go in my bedroom, but I cant tell a difference in the service speed.....

    I have only a Mac and the software for setup is ONLY PC. Great customer service as I had to call them to get it set up correctly. The tech was great and patient, though hard to understand his accent.

    New device not compatible with older laptop wi-fi

    Good value for money, but there are some troubleshooting gaps. Live chat process was NO no help - the usual communication problems were alive and well. Finally got a Geek Squad house call. Squad guy determined no wireless connection was an incompatibility problem with the laptop's onboard wireless circuit and the router. An external wireless module cured the problem. The laptop's wireless works everywhere else - just does not like the Linksys router for some reason. Bottom line to me: it was a really expensive router , but my new Bose Soundtouch works well. That's why I had to buy the router.

    If you are an advanced user who wants to configure there who settings, this uses the classic Administration interface which easy much better then the interface found on some other linksys models

    Wanted to buy a wireless router since I had just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and wanted to have wireless at home so I wouldn't have to purchase a higher-price data plan for the phone. The router has been working great and I've been able to stay below my data limit easily.

    This is a petty solid device fit the price. The only thing I didn't like was the out of the box settings that affect download speed. Its like linksys is trying to get you to buy their technical support.

    My only complaint is there are no indicator lights, so you can't see what's wrong if you lose a network connection.

    for some reason my laptop wouldn't read the installation disc, but I went to the manufacturer website and got instructions to download the installation software. A bit more hassle, but it worked!

    This router is just "n" performance and yet is reliable for up to 75'. The signal strength is adequate for a smal home that does not have wifi "ac" appliances to attach to the network.
