    Never a hang up, easy to setup, simple to manage my access. The range is "decent ", but I do notice difference in my phone vs. Laptop range. Great option with so many ports.

    I replaced the cable modem/router I was leasing through charter with this wireless router. Got tired of resetting the router two or three times a day to get wireless signal. So far have had no issues and it's run rock solid for me for the past month. No resets at all. The signal strength wasn't as good as I would have liked for the price I paid, but it is adequate for our family needs. May end up getting signal booster but for now it's okay.

    Bought this router to replace an older linksys that started regularly dropping wireless. After a firmware update, this one seems pretty solid, but only time will tell for sure.

    We decided to purchase this router because our old router was a bit outdated and slow. I followed the instructions and the setup was very easy- just don't forget the step to reset your modem! Love the functionality to view all electronics that were currently using the router wirelessly as well as the guest password capability. All this can be controlled from a phone app rather than having to log onto a PC to update router settings. Super easy.

    I had to buy a replacement for the last router I bought from best buy. I needed something quick and not too expensive. This router seems to do a pretty good job for what is asked of it. I have high speed cable internet and have a pretty high usage at times. There are some times when I notice a considerable drop in speed compared to the old router made by the same company. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase because of the sale price. I would not be so satisfied if it had been full price.

      Hi Wilbur,

      Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We're glad that you liked the product despite some challenge that you have encountered with it. Dropping wireless connection is normally caused by wireless interference in the area. Try to change the channel settings on the router's page to properly isolate the matter. Should you need more help, we'll be more than willing to do so. Email us at [email protected] and kindly include your contact details and the link to this post for our reference.

      We will be glad to help anytime.

      Regards,

      Linksys Support

    It works great for my family. We are a 4 generation household, with a high school student and a college student, her mother, myself, and my mother. We are all on the internet sometimes and we have 2 kindles and 2 smart phones. We don't have to worry about the connection failing like we did with the smaller router. This one does everything we need it to do.
