    I've owned this router for a year now I must save awesome features and a must have. Please make sure you don't update the firmware to 1.0.6.184351 it will brick your 5GHZ wireless connection. Thank god I bought the geek squad protection plan! AND YOU SHOULD TOO

    Parental control was not available. This was a very nice router. However, I had to return it, because the software did not allow much adjustment. I had an old Lynksys N type router, and when i logged into this one... It was the same user interface. I was ok with that, but there were no new settings... I needed more control of online/offline hours for devices and so I returned it. Sorry Lynksys. Try again. Bestbuy did have a better model in stock when i returned it... and it has been perfect!!!

    This works great and it has two ways to hook up to the internet so if you have many items to run off it you can do so.

    This router started out great and after about six months the 2.4 band started to get real slow. I had to factory reset it to clear it up. It has been good since!

    The WRT3200AC has been an amazing addition to my home network. Finally I no longer need to use a base router and extender to reach the entirety of my ~2300 sqft home. Setup was a breeze. Physical connections, Power on, Wizard, DONE! Usually I have my own tweaking to do to a new router to "harden" it after going through setup on the web GUI, but in this case all of my typical configuration options were either the default or offered in the setup. Unboxing/Initial Impressions: The router comes in a very nice package and opening/unpacking the required parts/components is intuitive and simple. The router is rather large compared to older Linksys models I'm familiar with, but just a bit, and it would need to be to make room for those extra antennae. The packaging is smart and attractive and setup instructions are easy to find to get up and running. Setup/Configuration: As I mentioned in my summary, the initial setup wizard made it super-simple to configure, secure, and connect the router to the required resources and to specify my preferences as per my own standards of security, IP convention, ISP requirements, etc. It was also very easy to enroll the device in cloud management per the "Linksys Smart Wifi" cloud/mobile management service. They even integrated that enrollment with first time setup so that more novice users would be able to take advantage of it that otherwise wouldn't know it was there (a problem that many competitors have with their advanced management and integration features.) Use/Daily Operation: This router blows away my previous AC1900-grade router (from another manufacturer) in terms of coverage. While I understand that the AC3200 technology in this latest router only provides improved on-premises inter-device bandwidth and per-device switching/routing improvements, I noticed a major difference in coverage and at-distance throughput when compared to my previous setup, which included a base AC1900-grade router (Simultaneous dual-band) and an AC1200 dual0band repeater where I was repeating 5GHz to my upstairs bedrooms from a stronger 2.4GHz second SSID which, while it worked, was a complicated setup that kept me from enjoying fully automatic network band selection, and without such a repeater setup, devices on the outer halves of my upstairs bedrooms suffered. I left the WRT3200AC configured as per defaults (identical SSID for 2,4 and 5GHz, WPA2 auth, NAT class-c routing, etc). I noticed immediately BETTER bandwidth and coverage throughout the entire house with just the single device driving the entire network. I only evaluated the device in mixed 2.4/5GHz mode, which is the intended configuration for this Tri-band router, and I have no need to change anything as performance is excellent. Summary/Rating: While I've lauded all aspects of the router, and I'd recommend it to a friend, I have only one complaint keeping me from a 5-star review: Mobile/Cloud management. The interface is great and the applications for Android and iOS are excellent, but I have two concerns: - I observed a limited feature set when it came to modifying the router's DHCP or other advanced networking/config settings, the mobile GUI doesn't support that, and its JUST keeping me from a pefect 5.

    I purchased a Linksys AC1900 12/2016 to expand my coverage but it did not work well. The AC3200 is better but not as good as I hoped.

    Doesn't have the range to quite reach the master bedroom. Had to put my Linksys RE9000 Extender, right next to my bedroom door. Now I get a perfect signal.
