    The router had the features and range I needed for use at home. It was easy to set up and has a lot of features especially for monitoring and regulating what the kids can search. Overall seems to be a good router at a decent price.

    I have always bought linksys wireless router. I have an old linksys router 54g and it is still working but I wanted to upgrade the data transfer rates. This wireless router is the best deal for your money. Easy to install/setup and I immediately noticed the improvement in my wifi. Will recommend this wireless router.

    I bought this router when the Netgeat router I had just bought crapped out. The setup was long however once it was set up it had been very reliable. Compared to the Netgear that took 2 minutes to setup and died One day later I'll take the longer to set up but more dependable Linksys router.

    I bought this for Father's day for my dad to update his woefully out of date router. Internet at his house is now much faster and more reliable. The unit covers a large house and some of the exterior porch area.

    Having gone through the hard way of setting up routers in the past I was relieved to not have to call my ISP to get assistance in setting this up. It automatically got the information it needed to operate and I was on the web in ten minutes from the time I took it out of the box. It gives numerous options for security and settings however you don't need them unless you want to mess with it. It also allows you to connect a ton of devices to it for internet connection. Phones, tablets, computers.. everything. The only drawback I have with it is during times with multiple downloads it is unbearably slow, however that is more a result of the Wireless ISP we have then the router.

    Picked up this router about a month ago after my old router died. I was looking for something much stronger than my previous one as I have 3 laptops, a tablet and 3 smart phones all access the network frequently. This handles the load much better than my old one and with the easy configuration allows me to prioritize what systems get bandwidth over others so I can make sure my wife's laptop gets priority when she is doing school work vs my daughters phone and laptop watching youtube videos. If you have a small to medium home, numerous devices connecting to the wireless network this will do the job for you and is easy to setup for those not too familiar with this sort of device.

    We've had this installed with the Motorola ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 for a couple of months so far and have no problems. We switched from AT&T Uverse to Time Warner internet. Glad we switched and we also avoid the monthly modem/router fee.

    I bought my first one and really liked the performance. Unfortunately I lost it in a fire and didn't think I would be able to find it again. But Best Buy had me covered. I have this one in the basement and it supports all my wireless device with full strength reception up to the second floor.

    After years of using a combined modem/router, it gave up and I had to get something...but what? I talked to a Geek guy and decided to go with this router and a Netgear modem. Setup was stupid easy and it's amazing; faster, wifi has no lag time compared to before. I could not be more pleased.

    Performance has been very good; however the initial set-up was somewhat cumbersome and unclear. Would have been better with a more straight forward start-up, especially where security was concerned.
