    Lots of features for the price, easy to configure- whether using local access or web account & strong Wi-Fi signal for decent distance. I have used Linksys, Linksys/Cisco, Linksys(now??) for a very long time & never had 2 DOA routers in a row, come on Linksys quality control. I am an onsite-service provider that can't stock 3 of every type of router on the truck, just so I have a working router. Still, it is a good router though, the only real drawback is it won't allow for Guest Wi-Fi features to function without having the internal DHCP enabled, which is fine for a home but has to be disabled for small business servers to provide DHCP - so for most small businesses, it a lost feature. I think that is true with all of their new Wi-Fi routers.

    This is an upgrade from our previous Linksys router. I am starting to think we need our own data center, with all the wireless devices we have here. Gamers are still complaining about speed, but I think it's definitely an improvement. If you have serious gamers in your house, you are better off direct connecting them to a cable modem. No complaints for use with I-phones, I-pads, Kindle Fires, laptops. Gamers are never happy.

    Ran through three routers before I found this one. I have a small home and the other routers should have provided coverage but did not. This one is perfect and was very easy to install.

    I installed in my mid size home with ease. This unit has great range with no down time. I never I have to reset it like the old unit. This unit is faster than my internet provider.

    Our initial purchase proved to be seriously lacking, as neither I nor the computer tech we hired could get it to work. After exchanging it for another, the second worked fine. The basic installation was fast and easy, and it provides excellent coverage. However, creating a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account proved impossible. Every attempt has ended up with me being stuck in an endless loop. If this worked, the system would be well worth the money. Without it, it's a bit pricey for what it provides.

    I bought this as a replacement for another Linksys router I had for many years. I though the old router was starting to fail, so I replaced it with this one. It turned out that there was an issue with our service provider. I highly recommend this brand.

    This router was very easy to set up. It is replacing a Netgear WGT624 v4. It was up and running in less than 30 minutes. I have not had to reset it once which was a regular occurance with the old one. The range is very good. It is on our main floor and reaches upstairs and into the basement with no problems. I can also be anywhere in our yard and still get a strong signal. I would recommend this router. Also check your prices because Best Buy will match prices and that includes some online sellers including Amazon. I also regularly stream movies and have encountered no buffering and that is with my wife and I both streaming at the same time.

    Had a G-router that didn't quite push signal to the far end of my house. Looked at getting a range extender and was informed that if would drop down my overall speed. Decided to upgrade to the new router for about the same price and am very pleased.

    I bought this wireless router for my business. It was very easy to set up and install the software on my PC. It has guest access which can be limited to a certain number of guests or turned off completely. Good reliability and functionality.

    The price was indeed very good. It was easy to set up. Directions were straight forward and clear. Though my previous router was taken out by an electrical storm, I still had to go to the manufacturer's site and disable it. Satellite internet wouldn't recognize more then one on the connection . While it very nicely gives internet to all devices in the home, my only complaint is that I still have to download movies to watch. My satellite connection isn't fast enough to stream video and audio. The price I pay to live where I do. Definitely, and I repeat, definitely not the fault of this router.

    Most all linksys routers I have ever used were easy to set up and this one is no exception. Insert the cd/DVD in your computer and follow the directions. For the money I'm always going to chose linksys over belkin or competitors, it just always seems they have a better quality product. The only bad thing and the only reason it lost one star is the range. I live in a 2500 sq ft home and the router is on the first floor. In the bedroom in the farthest part of the house and upstairs there is some minor signal loss, and random disconnect but all in all a good quality router

    Linksys/Cisco have made router setup effortless these past few years and I continue to purchase them as they have had a good track record. The gigabit ports allow for speedy access for my units that are hardwired so file transfer between them smokes!
