    So Far So Good

    Sick of getting super expensive routers that break on me in a year. Went with this router because it still has dual-band and seemed to have decent reviews. So far, so good. No drop in speeds or signal. One thing I don't like is that it doesn't have any indicator lights on the router itself to tell you signal status and whatnot.

    I have used Cisco products for many years and have always had good luck. They make very reliable equipment and offer many features. I really like the guest wireless feature and that I can make changes from anywhere with my online account.

    This router was not compatable with the whole home system i was hooking it up to. This unit is on the 10.84 starting IP address and the system required it to be on the 192.168 starting address. Was not compatible. Check your device compatability before buying this.

    This has been a great router so far, it took ~15 min to install. We have ~10 devices connected to the router and have not run into any issue with stability. Router is faster than old router (improved speed by 50% to ~30MB down load speed)

    Easy to setup, configure and manage. We have over 22 devices on our network (never all at once) and this thing works like a champ! I can give three of the most important devices priority and manage from my cell with an easy app. EXCELLENT!!

    I am not a technology whiz. So worried about installation. Installation was quick and easy, and even provided a separate password for visitors. After weeks of use, have discovered no glitches. Connections to ipads reliable at all times.

    I bought this system to replace a new Brand X which was trouble from the start. The Linksys EA3500 practically installed it's self, I had it up and running in about 15 minutes. It has been a month now and not one issue. Great router.
