Better than Cable company's
By Erik Sarcasm on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2023
The router that my alleged cable company rented me... stinks. Constant drops, connection issues, etc. My Steam Deck never connected properly to the 5g. So I got this. Setup was a bit complicated. I admit I don't know routers and networking that well, but I have some experience. The smartphone app seemed limited at first but it's just because I wasn't familiar with it. I was eventually able to connect the old fashioned way, through a browser, but only from my pc. Once I was in, I was able to split the bands properly and tweak the experience. That was day 1. I haven't had a single connection issue since that day. Even my beloved Deck stays reliably connected to 5g and I'm finally able to stream from my pc properly, without any lag, over wifi. Price was good and it performs beautifully for my needs. My only complaint is that there's no way to alter the radio frequency of the 5g bands, to fully eliminate interference from my many neighbors. But my router puts out a strong enough signal that this hasn't been an issue. I very much recommend this router.

DO NOT BUY
By RAR on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025
This is the craziest router I've ever bought in my life. You have to install an app to even set it up, and then once you install the app you sit in a reboot loop forever trying to get it to set up. Linksys is definitely gone downhill, you go to their website you can't get any support documentation the user's manuals or anything anymore, this product isn't even listed on their website and when you search for it it can't find anything. It also can't find anything for very popular routers they've made. Also, it is crazy that you need to install an app to set a router up, this is no more than a 5-minute process usually. Also why do I have to have a Linksys account to set up my local network? - there is a reason it's called an LAN, local area network, not LAN for Linksys area network. And why does that account need location services on my phone?
