    My old router was starting to become intermittant. I sought to replace it with the same. When I got to the store, I found the newer version of my old router. The sales person showed me many options, frankly, some that were a little cheaper. I stuck with Cisco and am happy that I did. Good reliable service for a competitive price. No complaints!

    The router was very easy to install. Have noticed a difference in speed for downloading and watching videos. Still having some slow speed but think it has to do with our provider.

      Hi dd2zack,

      Thank you for taking the time in sharing this review. Here are the possible solutions that you may do:

      • Make sure that you have a stable connection to your modem.
      • Position the router away from windows, thick walls, and move it to the floor where you're most likely to use Wi-Fi.
      • Adjust the router’s wireless channel to avoid possible interference in your network. Use the Wi-Fi analyzer app. It helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.
      • Update or re-flash the firmware.

      If the connection will not improve, you can send us an email at [email protected] with your contact details, location, and the link to this review so that we can assist you further.


      Regards,

      Linksys Support

    This router is easy to set up and use. It is a good value for the price. It comes with software disc so even the non technical user can set it up.

    After opening the package, it didn't take long before I was able to use the network, both wirelessly and wired. It has worked flawlessly since.

    I bought this to use in a dorm, the only criticism I have is that the dashboard isn't very user friendly and the app definitely needs an update. But it works amazing as a router, even streaming and playing online games.

    I didn't plan on spending $100 for a router when I went to the store but after talking with the geek squad, I'm glad I did. It works perfect in our home with a lot of wireless products. Four iPhones, two iPads, satellite hopper, three laptops, an xbox 360, blu ray player, and a net gear box along with our HD tv that hooks up to the internet. We didn't realize how many products we use online until we started listing them.

    This was a pretty easy setup. The new Linksys interface was relatively simple to use except for a few minor quirks mostly with just how they laid out the user interface, but overall easy to use and setup. It has some automation with the CD but I just wanted to do it all manually though too. It is in a VERY large (6000 sq ft) house and has a signal just about everywhere, even being on one end of the house on the top floor.

    Great router with rock solid reliability and good signal strength for > 6 devices. On the expensive side for N750, however, I would purchase it again.

    Needed an upgrade since our previous router had not been replaced in over 5 years. This product solved our problem. Installation instructions a bit confusing.
