This is the best router I have ever owned. All my devices in the house connect and get the same signal strength as the next device with the MIMO technology. It was easy to setup and was working within 10 minutes of unboxing. Great buy, would have paid full price for this (but I didn't!)

as a refurbished item, we did not expect any issues but finally we ended up talking to Linksys support, extended warranty and will be returning the item to the manufacturer soon. The router behaved like a switch - it allowed the wired computer to acquire the IP from the modem. (Yes the modem was connected to the right jack in the router.). Since the router could not acquire the IP from the modem, wireless networks worked but after authentication, laptops could not get to the Internet. Wasted couple hours, ended up connecting back six-year-old WRT Linksys router which worked without any issues. So much for upgrading technology to newer. Support outsourced to India was not much help. Language barrier substantial.

This router was very easy to set up. 1. Removed previous router 2. Put in new router (I did need to use different power cable, but Ethernet connections were all the same) 3. Open web browser on with my computer (connected via Ethernet) 4. Open up browser and log on to the router (admin is the password) 5. Create new WiFi name and password It can update itself (a feature you can turn off, but why?)! I can now connect with my phone from a much further distance, insomuch that I've removed an extender that I had once needed. I can open ports for specific devices, rather than just specific IP addresses! This makes it very friendly so I don't have to configure my devices to specific addresses. I can log on to the router with my phone. These are some very cool capabilities of doing that! 1. I can give all connected devices specific names, so they're easier to identify 2. I can give priority to 3 of the devices, just in case there are LOTS of devices connected, or internet is slow. 3. I can restart the router 4. I can set times for certain devices to receive a connection 5. I can toggle on/off a Guest connection 6. I can see everyone that's connected to each wifiRead full review

Fairly easy install. Turned off WiFi on my CenturyLink C1100t Modem/Router (it's WiFi is terribly unreliable) and had this router take over Wi-Fi. Did drop the 5ghz signal during a movie a few days after install for some unknown reason. Switched to 2.4ghz to finish our movie then rebooted router, 5ghz came back and has been okay so far. Been about 10 days w/o issues as of this review. 1500SF range is about right too. Overall pretty happy with it.

Significantly improved signal strength in my home. Some quirk in setup prevented my access to the setup routine. Had to call tech support, who helped with entire setup. Guest access is only password protected -- cannot use WPA2-PSK or any other encryption scheme on ANY Linksys router. Great deal getting a free range extender.
