I bought this and paid nearly 4 times more for it then my little Belkin router because it was supposed to have a significantly better range. After spending 2 hours on the phone with lynksis tech and doing everything he proposed it is only slightly better than my Belkin. The only reason I am keeping it is because the next step up is an additional $60 (+) and I'm pretty sure the range is not going to be much better. My house is not huge and it doesn't have any more or less walls than a normal house...it is a single story and these are clearly not made to go through walls...only ceilings...according to the tech...what?

This router is reliable but slightly on the pricey side. The features available on the app are nice, as I can set my laptop to priority for media streaming.

Upgraded from a Linksys 320 and have really enjoyed this. Easy interface as well as additional parental controls. Works well and have had no issues. I have always had good luck with Linksys products and will continue to buy them.

Fixed Comcast router problem to tolerable

We purchased this since Comcast apparently still cannot make a functioning router for wireless devices. This was purchased on recommendation of the tech person in the store. It set up easily and improved wireless performance for some of the devices to tolerable levels. We still have one bedroom (maybe 25 feet away) that has horrible signal strength, and all the auxiliary devices (phones, tablets) keep insisting they need the guest access code even though they are all programmed with the home system and password, which is rather annoying. For the price, it fixed some of the problem, but not completely.

Trust the company... Router with mobile app makes it great to control and to see what's going on... Great for Parental control to shut down access when your away from home...

I purchased this router from Best Buy for my 2nd home and tried to set up myself by follow the instructions provided with the router, it did not work. After spend over an hour with Linksys Technical Support personnel, still can not get this router to work, she even remote in my computer try to set up, finally, she determined it has to be a defect unit. Since there is no Best Buy store from where our summer home is, I had to purchase a different model to replace this one with extra expense for expedite shipping from Linksys directly in order to get my WIFI working.

Bought this router to replace another LInksys that I had for a little more than 6 years. Works great, easy to set up, minimum computer or networking knowledge needed to get this up and working. Great range.

So far it is working out really well. Haven't had any problems. It is easy to connect to all the different electronics used in the household and it has a guest password so that I don't have to give out the home password.

Good router but you have to use the smart setup to initially set it up.
A lot of extra steps for the smart setup, some may like, some may not.
Once set up still a good Linksys Router for home use.

Recently switched to digital phone and internet and service technician chose to bypass the router in the system he brought with him to hook up and used this one instead! NO Problems since purchase over two months ago!

My old router was constantly dropping signal and even the hardwired PS3 would disconnect all the time, particularly during software downloads. As soon as I got the new router, there has been no issues at all. Love it.

When setting up, "Router name" is also Network name but it doesn't tell u that. Won't let you change name of GUEST network. Other than that, it's a nice, easy network. Works well and range isn't bad.

Out of the box 3 easy steps to set up. Improved reception and handles all my peripheral devices (6) in all. Better then my last unit, Cisco n600 which was slow and only lasted one year.

I purchased the product due to poor signal on my wireless items. Since purchasing this product I have faster speed and am not dropping signal
