    Bought this to replace an older model. Took it home and popped in the CD and it was working in less than 5 minutes. Coverage is great.

    Bought for elderly relatives who recently made the leap to smartphones and tablets, very easy setup and attractive, low-profile design. Reasonably priced and provides more than enough transfer capabilities for them, would be a great choice for anyone who needs a wireless router and is budget-minded but wouldn't like to sacrifice performance.

    I have Comcast connection for my internet and was using the modem/router combo provided by them. It was way too slow and the videos never played with out pausing for buffering. Since I got my own modem and added this router. I have noticed increase in the speed drastically. The videos play mostly seamless and the pages load very fast. Also the prioritization of the video device is awesome.

    Nice price and easy to setup. We needed a faster and stronger router. I was hopping for our wireless TV to get a stronger signal. I still get netflix to switch between HD SD with a flicker. can't figure out if I need a direct network link. But everything else with cellphones it works great with clearwire as the main service.

    I have this connected to a TWC Internet Ubee modem. From there, I have wire-connected my PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Tivo DVR. Everything works flawlessly and as fast as my Modem alone. Additionally, I have all my other devices connected via Wi-Fi on both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, Wireless N only, and have not experienced any drops. Setup was easy with the CD, and all updates wre downloaded and installed automatically. I am extremely pleased with the router.

    A quick and simple router

    this router has really exceeded my expectations. after trying out a few second hand routers (a nicer netgear router and an older d-link router) from my brother I was worried that this one would be just as difficult to use and as unreliable as the others. but I'm happy to report that after using this router for a few months now I am completely satisfied with this product. it literally took only 5minutes to set up and works great in my apartment. I am a nursing student and my classes are recorded online for us to watch later and this router is more than able to keep up with streaming videos, music, movies, games or whatever you might need it for. so far its been very reliable and i dont have to worry about it acting strange when im trying to take an exam online or some last minute research. just open up the box and follow the simple directions. if you live in a bigger house you might want to get one with a bit longer range, but I would definitely stick with the linksys routers. they really make a great product.

    I purchased this upon moving to a new apartment with my wife. It was simple to install via cd, I was able to create my own wifi network name and password with ease, and once the smart wifi account was setup, I can access the network from locations away from home. I was able to prioritize my network devices (So our sons Xbox online use or our daughters Netflix use wouldn't hog bandwidth). Overall it's easy to use.
