I’m a sucker not only for performance, but also looks. Back when I got my first router, it was a Linksys WRT. The classic black & blue ones. I was absolutely driven to this one first by the looks which were a more modern version of their first models. The specs are also fantastic!! Since I’ve installed this router, I’ve had absolutely no problems with WiFi around the house, at all. 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands work very well together. The router was easy as cutting in to pie to setup. The mobile app kind of sucks though.. but I won’t grade the router on something like that.I tried installing DD-WRT firmware on this router and it was very easy and supportive. I highly recommend this router to anyone who wants something that functions very well, looks very nice, and works with open sourced firmware. In the right hands, this router can be a very powerful asset for any home or business. I’ve owned it for a month now and have not had a single problem. Not a single reboot needed. Cons? I can’t think of any! This router truly has everything any residential and even business person would need. I will however gripe about how you can’t block a website to every device at once. You instead must block it to each device individually, to my understandings. But open sourced firmware like DD-WRT will have you covered there. One other con I suppose, there’s no bandwidth meter that truly works on this router.Pros:- Looks amazing. Feels amazing.- Works very well. Runs without making a sound.- 5GHz & 2.4GHz bands for home & another set for Guest usage.- Very fast internet speeds.- Can work as a homegroup when a USB or eSATA HDD is connected.- Easy to set up.- Open Source Friendly (DD-WRT, etc). can have two firmwares installed at the same time (one active at a time) with its two separate partitions.- 4 powerful antennas which can be removed and replaced if necessary.- Handles multiple devices & 4K streaming without a problem at all. Great ping in games!- Future-proof with 1Gbps speeds & bandwidth handling across antennas.- Guest Networks & WPS (very unsecure) can be disabled.- Can be used with OpenVPN!Cons (kinda milking it here just to be fair. The router truly is great):- No menu for monitoring bandwidth usage or other fun statistics.- No easy way to block websites for all devices. Only each device individually.- Mobile app really lacks features & web interface does not allow usage in mobile browsers.- FTP feature seems not to allow individual FTP accounts to specified folders.- Almost no updates from Linksys in years.- Interface is difficult with assigning dedicated DHCP IPs to devices. Very picky with validating the IP, even when the specified IP would work perfectly.

I bought this router because of its feature set, most important being that I could easily modify the firmware to include a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The router easily manages traffic from several computers in our home, some 24/7 server types, and heavy use desktops (I’m retired, but a computer nerd, and my wife is frequently streaming)… The VPN shows us popping up 1200 miles away, and having an encrypted path from the router to the VPN server makes me feel comfortable… The router just handles everything without a complaint, and the web-interface is easy to navigate

My wife is a teacher and has been holding classes online since the world fell on it’s a$$! Our older Linksys (2015/16) router had seen its last glitching freeze frame. “Gone are the days of $50 routers my job site IT tech told me after approving of this model. It took a painless few minutes to install and set up network via the app. Soon after we were basking in the loving glow of wifi streaming and video conferencing! Thank you

We recently got Express VPN to deal with an issue we’ve been having, and it’s been great. So great, we decided we needed it on our router, so we could share it with the entire house. This is the router Express VPN recommended.Seriously, you have no idea you’re living in the dark ages until someone switches on the light.First off, we didn’t used to get much of a signal in half the house. We now get a strong signal throughout the house. And it’s fast, way faster than our old router. Putting Express VPN on it was easy too. My husband tried to do that with our old router, and it was just an exercise in futility. With this router, he was done and our Wi-Fi was zooming in half an hour.Yes, it costs more, but so does your time and having to deal with a slow weak signal.I’m glad Express VPN recommended this. So far, so good!

I had no idea that all of my internet problems were the cause of my old, antiquated router! Netflix and Hulu would just stop working randomly and I’d have to restart them. Buy a good router, people! That, along with higher internet speed, makes ALL the difference!

I have tried multiple wifi routers from every manufacturer I could find and have FINALLY found one that combines great features, rock-solid performance, and ease-of-setup! Furthermore, I did NOT have to download and (temporarily) install an app on my phone just to get it set up — working great and I could not be happier! This is absolutely the BEST! So many of the others had to be returned because (1) did not run at advertised speeds (2) was very unreliable — lots of dropped signals (although re-connect was often automatic) and (3) just did not last. I hope this one lasts but at least it performs perfectly so far!

OK, this router is just what the Dr. ordered, reasonably priced and enough controls so that you don’t have to be an Einstein to take advantage of the enhanced speed.First off, PAY ATTENTION to the labels on the bottom of the router (I took photos for reference). Also in the Quick Start guide there is reference to WiFi Name & WiFi Password. This is where you will/might get confused !You MUST use your cell phone by going to the LinkSys web to start the procedure…. Save some effort here DOWNLOAD to your cell phone the LinkSys App (Apple Store/Google Play).Launch the app and enter BOTH the WiFi Name & WiFi Password. Once completed you can complete the process through your computer’s browser by going to the address/url at 192.168.1.1 or continue using the mobile app.These few 1st steps if NOT followed will have you pulling your hair out trying to get the router configured.Do yourself a favor, if you have an existing router that is working then take a moment and do a screen capture of each of your current settings THEN install your new router. Make sure your CHANGE the NAME of your router and suggest changing to a more robust password. I suggest you do the same once the new router is configured too.Once the router is up and functional you should run a speed test the see the improved performance.Hope this helps ?!SEE ATTACHEDAfter experimenting (I have three (3) Fire Sticks), I have found the best 2.4 & 5 GHz setting for my home environment. Note that 2.4 GHZ is best for homes with the router’s signal passing through multiple walls, not my situation. Wherever possible 5 GHz would be preferred and indeed provide excellent coverage for my home (as shown in the attached screen capture).FACT: With each release of the latest Fire Stick performance increases. I have the latest version and two earlier versions. So your result may vary. Experiment by using a WiFI Analyzer App on your cell phone to view performance (in each frequency) after each setting change.

I initially had purchased NETGEAR Nighthawk Smart WiFi Router (R6900P) – AC1900. I got to admit the misleading/fake number of amazon reviews and star average rating – paired with its cool spaceship like design made me opt for Netgear’s product first…. But, after spending multiple unfruitful hours with tech support because or poor quality issues and frequent disconnects I decided to return it and purchased Linksys Dual-Band WiFi Router for Home (Max-Stream AC1900 MU-Mimo Fast Wireless Router).Speed test are perfect as I’m able to utilize my full 300/300Mps bandwidth at full speed OVER WIFI – no need for ethernet cables to reach that full speed ( i have Verizon Fios). With Netgears Nighthawk i had to plug in the ethernet cable to reach those speeds as something in that lousy devise was limiting the bandwidth over wifi.

I didn’t really know how to rate some of these items above as I installed the ExpressVPN router firmware on this router, so YMMV there. That said, I got the mid range Asus Router first (R6700) which they say is lower end. That was true on my case. I finally bit the bullet and bought this one and it’s WAY better. I have a very connected house so your environment may be different, but I thought I’d put the specifics below as I did tons of research and no one really shared what I needed.Four family memebers with laptops / smartphones.Multiple connected devices (TV, xboxes, PS4s)…All in all not all on at the same time but the router says I have about 30 connections registered (wow, sad really).I pay for 100 Mbs from my fiber provider and get roughly that when I use a standard router.With the 6700 – 50ms ping, under 10Mbs download, under 3Mbs upload. Working from home wasn’t possible with Skype / Webex / Zoom. Had to have it call my mobile.With this router – 8ms ping, approximately 80Mbs download, approximately 75 Mbs upload. Working from home is fine.I’m using the firmware from their site, not tweaking. So, if you’re thinking about it and you’re in my situation, you need to get the better router.One note, Amazon Prime streaming won’t work behind a VPN. You can set it to bypass a device by using a device specific setting and just toggle it when you need. I leave it always off for my Plex server so I can use it outside the house, but there’s nothing on that and it’s still behind the router.

Initially, I was going to purchase another ASUS router to replace my aging RT-N66R, about 8 years old. Reading reviews, every router “recommended” in reviews by various publications, I found people complaining that they didn’t work well or had problems. So, which reviews do you trust? I had been using Linksys routers prior to purchasing the ASUS, and was very happy with it. I decided not to go with TP-Link as it’s source is from China. ASUS is sourced from Taiwan. As electronics from these countries have been questionable, I decided to go back to Linksys. This unit is made in Vietnam.So far, the unit is working perfectly. Setup was simple and took about 3 minutes. I am able to control the router with an app on my phone. I am no longer experiencing the drops I encountered with my ASUS router. The manual states coverage about 1800 Sq. ft., but it seems to be strong no matter where I am around our property. So far very satisfied.
