Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product is very powerful and works great. The price was extremely fair for the performance of the product. The Best Buy staff really stepped in and made the choice easy. Thanks to all..

Fastest dual band router available on the market. Has best range that I have tested on 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. Combined it with my new modem receive 360 MB download. On wifi and around 250 mb from 50 feet away.

Had bought cheap ones before and never really last. This router is very fast compared to my 2 year old unit and the range is excellent. WiFi all over house, outside and even at neighbors!

After having some issue with optimum wifi modem, I decided to buy this modem, easy to set up, extended signal and most important full speed while using 4 or 5 devices at the same time

This router is very fast. Will support many devices streaming at the same time with no buffering problems. Covers a wide area with few weak spots.

This purchase is my second router for the new home we just moved into. I have tried others , but always buy Linksys for their dependability. This router is so far the best one I have ever purchased. It works so well I can walk down a block or two and still be connected! The software is easy to set up, I use the advanced setup, but the security is great either way. I also like the USB port for storage. I have another exact same router I had at my previous home, it worked so well, I bought this one. I use the other one in my auto shop! I have 4 kids, phones, Xbox, TV's and Kindles all hook up with no dragging down the system. Just a great router!

I recently bought this due to another brand crashing out on me in less than 6 months. This product works better than the competitor ever did. Easy setup and very reliable.

This router is easy to setup and extremely fast for allowing many devices at the same time. It has many easy to use features and can be up an running in less than 30 minutes.

Unit did not work as second WAP on my network using it in :bridged Mode" contacted support and upgraded the firmware and still not working. Unit would work for about 30 minutes and then any devices on the WIFI disconnected from the internet, Returning unit.

Easy to install , great signal in all corner 2000sf home at excellent speed in more than 10 device , I'm using with comcast service , is the one that I was looking for.

My three year old router was starting to get a little slow, especially when multiple devices were streaming at the same time. The Linksys router easily handles multiple devices, and has far more speed than my current 100 GB cable service. Speedtest app has me up to 120 GB, and my iMac wifi indicates the router can handle 1,300 GB. If you press the Option button then left click your mouse above the wireless sign on top of your iMac, you can see the speed of your current router. Setup was very simple. My old router was an Airport Extreme which is known for easy setup, the Linksys wasn't much more difficult, but has was more advanced features if someone wants to use them. It's been about a month now, but I believe it was up and running in about 10 minutes. I went further and named all my active devices on the software, which allows me to monitor what is being used. I like that I can prioritize up to 3 devices, so they get internet when the Comcast line is bottled up in my neighborhood (far too often lately). It also has an app to control the router from your phone (I assume also a tablet). I haven't set this up yet, but I plan to and it seems like a useful feature. One thing that surprised me initially is that even though it has both 2.4 and 5 Ghz signals, it only uses one connection. With my old router, I set up some devices to use 2.4 Ghz (usually the older ones), and others to the 5 Ghz. I did this to spread the devices between the signals. With the Linksys, everything goes to one router name, then the router divides the signal to optimize usage, another cool feature. One slight negative is how the "Guest network" is accessed. I have to enter a password to allow a Guest, rather than setting it up on the Guest device. I suppose this is more secure, but a little more hassle. Oh well, don't really use the Guest network very often anyway. It cost a little more than a lot of other decent routers (like AC 1900), but I know going forward I have enough bandwidth and speed to last several years. I think it is worth it, especially since I got it on sale at Best Buy. The sale price was about the same price as AC2600 routers from other manufacturers, so this was a great value in my opinion.

Bought this on sale. It works as expected and has provided good speeds and consistent connection to the Internet. I'm happy with the purchase. Good signal throughout the house and front/backyards.

This router covers our whole house without a glitch. Wireless signal is outstanding. You can set the router to manually administer both 2.4 and 5g wireless networks or let the router manage it. I tried both and depending on your activity it’s a plus. The response time is excellent. Streaming movies is outstanding. Not to mention the 1g ethernet ports. Makes for working from home a breeze. Highly recommended this router. 2600 sq home

I really don't know what to say about a router. It does well. I definitely have better range within my house. My house is 2500 sf with two floors and a basement. My old router wouldn't reach the edges since the router is in a corner of the house. This one reaches the whole house. The router also has easy to set network and parental control features. You can use the router to individually shut down device access to the network. The router is able to handle three TV's, an Xbox, three Kindle fires, three phones, three Google home minis, a desktop, and a surface. With a household of five people it does quite well.

I bought this router because my old one did not support what my internet provider was providing. Let's just say this bad boy definitely keeps up. The distance is unbelievable and I can get coverage all the way out to my car which isn't exactly right outside my place. It does get hot so I would recommend keeping it in a cool place or have some sort of breeze where it's at. I used a fan and even put it by a window so the cross breeze could hit it and it worked perfectly both ways. Best purchase yet

Super easy setup and it works flawlessly. We have at least 10 devices on it and there is never any lag or issues. The dual band is a great way to go.

Pain to set up (over course) once operational simple to maintain. I have wifi for ever like 3 city blocks away and it still shows up. It can determine which device needs more data and sends it directly simultaneously with all connected devices. Dual band comes in hand for a smart home. Also several ports to physically plug into. The cloud option, turning any ordinary external hard drive into a personal cloud accessible throughout the globe with an internet connection is the cherry on top. Does tend to run a little hot but Amazon has fans that are USB powered and fit perfectly on top of the vents.

This router was easy to setup and worked well. However, professional reviews say it delivers superior coverage, but for me, it was inadequate and far less than the coverage provided by the Apple Airport Extreme that it replaced. I ended up returning this device and replacing it with a much more expensive Linksys Vellop Mesh Router System. Please note; Linksys tech support is offshore and not very helpful. They appear to be a call center with no in-house expertise. Thier techs knowledge is limited to the scripts they read.

All Linksys models have worked great for me and this is no exception. Easy setup and good performance

Our other router stopped working and we replaced it with this one. It is so much faster and was easy to hook up. We are very pleased with this product.
