    Purchased this router as I was no longer able to access my old router online. Simple to use even for beginners, just takes some time to read and understand. Still need to set up a few more items but look forward to utilizing all the features offered with this router.

    Easy to set up. Works great for our home network. We have two computers, PS3, printer and two smartphones. The router is on the ground floor and we use all of our devices on the second floor of our 3 bed house.

    Previous router was always disconnecting. This one stays connected. I had to reset the device And redo the wizard installation several times. It was frustrating.

    Bought this product to replace an old router that was cutting out. Since hooking this one up I have had no issues on my PC, I-Phone, I-Pad, or Wii loosing internet connection. Good overall performance. Have set up in basement. Works well all over the house and in the yard as well.

    This was bought to replace an older unit which was starting to create problems with the wireless side. Set up was simple with the enclosed disk, it even downloaded the latest revisions. The only bad thing was the power cord was shorter than the old one so I had to install a shelf.

    This router was ways to setup. I can use my iPad any where in the house, and our house has about 2700 square feet. It is made by Cisco, and I am a longtime fan of Cisco quality and reliability. Wen my sister shopped for a router, I convinced her Linksys (Cisco) was the way to go

    I bought this after getting fed up with my old wireless router. We had just installed internet through our cable company and our old router wasn't working, neither were any of the older ones we had. This one not only works but it works great. I would but it again in a heart beat.

      Hi Sandeep,

      Your time for reviewing this product is valuable to us. We understand that your wife's iPhone will not work properly when connected to the network and allow us to help.

      If the connection is intermittent, you may try adjusting the wireless channel of the network. You may refer to this article, http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=141185. It would also help us isolate the situation if you'll try to connect the iPhone to another wireless network and observe the stability of its connection.

      We'd be happy to hear the results from you via email at [email protected]. In the message, indicate also your full name, phone number, location, and the link to this post.


      Sincerely,

      Linksys Support

    Really needed an upgrade on my last generation router to handle multiple smartphones, laptops and my blu-ray player. The Linksys EA3500-NP really fit the bill. Affordable and easy to set up. I'm getting 5x the mbps when I stream content on Amazon and Netflix. Great buy.
