    Bought this for my girlfriend when her router went out and it has a much greater range than her previous router. She can now be in the back yard and the garage and still receive signal.

    Great android app to set up router. Performance is very good but not great. Some of the pet forwarding functionality was difficult to find in the programming menus.

    Works great with the Motorola cable modem and was easy to install.Better than paying equipment rental from Time Warner and provides ownership,so if any changes, I can take it with me.

    After getting it installed everything is very very simple. Lights are bright enough to see usage but not so bright as to blind you. Great wireless coverage for my home.

    This works great in our large home. Where the last router would loose it's signal strength in the upstairs rooms or work slow with 5 people's iPhones connected to it this does not.

    So far, so good but I still get a few disconnects that I don't really know whether they are from the combination of wired and wireless connections or our "friendly" cable company!

    This thing is a breeze to set up, plugged in and it almost sets itself up. the dual band is nice to have also, allows more things to be connected without affecting the speed.

    Decided it was finally time to upgrade my old wireless router and started researching. This Linksys N750 had the mix of features I wanted (USB port, wired gigabit Ethernet connections, and dual-band wireless N) at a good price. I am running a shared external hard drive through the USB port, my desktop and blueray player through the wired gigabit ports, and my printer, two laptops and two smartphones through the wireless, all with no problems at all. Setup was fast and simple. I also like the "guest" network access feature. If you are seeking a feature-rich combination wireless / wired router I suggest you take a look at the Lynksys N750.

    I bought this unit in early December 2014. Performance was slow and interrupted on all devices, which included pc laptops and iPhones. The unit was exchanged for a new unit in early January. Performance initially seemed better but deteriorated over time. I had the Geek Squad check out the laptop to see if it was causing some of the issues but the laptop checked out clean. I returned it yesterday and got a competing brand and overall device performance improved immediately.

    I didn't want to pay per month for a router thru the Internet company, I purchased this instead. It is good on some days, but it's hit or miss on most! I don't know if it's worth the money I paid.

      Hi Kristy!

      Thank you for sharing your experience with this router. We understand you are experiencing some difficulties with the router. It would be our pleasure to help you check what is going on.

      If the wired connection is also affected, make sure that you have a stable connection behind the modem. If you've observed this challenge only on wireless connection, try to adjust the wireless channel of the router. You may refer to this article, http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=141185.

      Should you need further assistance, you may reach us anytime via email at [email protected]. In the message, indicate your full name, phone number, location, and the link to this post.


      Sincerely,

      Linksys Support
