    Have several devices that depend on consistent, high speed wireless and when old router died, choose this model and have been delighted at the performance and value for price.

    Works great in my home. Good price. The only thing is I was hoping the signal would be strong outside also. But I didn't want to pay more for a far range router.

    This is the second Linksys we have had. The first was over ten years old. Sales person suggested that we get a new one just to keep up to date. Works great and no problems.

    apparently, I reviewed the modem I bought, and thought I was reviewing the WiFi router. This works great. Running computer, tv(netflix), phones, etc. No problems yet.

    I found the router to be easy to set-up, including both the security and guest security if necessary, and it is plenty strong enough for a two-story, 4000 sq. foot home.

    Typically have to replace router every 2.5 years on average due to failure. This one has been performing flawlessly just as the previous Linksys ones I have owned.

    We just had too many cell phones, laptops, smart TVs, and tablets for our one router to handle. This solved the problem immediately! It was easy to install as well!

    Works well, doesn't have extended range.

    I bought this router specifically because the Best Buy employee that helped me in the store said that because it was dual band that it would enable me to have increased range without needing a range extender. That said it doesn't. I should have bought a less expensive router and then purchased a range extender. Other than that it works just fine but if you're looking for range this one doesn't work any better than the 49. dollar one that I had previously. I would recommend it as it has a reliable connection but other (less expensive) routers probably do also.
