Fast Speed & Nice design
This Linksys dual-Band WiFi 5 Router does prove to be more advanced then the average WiFi routers on the market today. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve their WiFi signal. It's pretty easy and simple to set it up. Only took me a few minutes. I have connected multiple devices to the Linksys router and didn't notice any interference. (My WiFi speed is 100Mbps) However, I do have one complaint, I just wish that the Ethernet cable that comes with it was a little bit longer.

Really decent router
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is too hard for me to tell if the slower speed is because of my geographical location or the router itself. There is a chance that I probably could have selected a higher Gbps than this one but it still worked good. The bandwidth covers over 15 devices; it did cover all of ours : 3 smart TVs, 3 smart phones, 2 tablets , an xbox and a laptop. We never have them all running at the same time but we did power them all up for the sake of testing out the routers abilities. I really like that it has the app to check and see which of our devices are using the most WiFi. Also the fact that it has parental controls was huge for me since I have a 7, 6 and 3 year old. All in all I would say this is a pretty great router.

    Game changer!
    The Linksys MAX-STREAM Dual-Band WiFi 5 Router is a game changer! My 1600 Square foot home is very spread out. We have always struggled getting the WiFi to work quickly and efficiently. But not anymore thanks to my new max stream dual band WiFi router. It is easy to install. Now my family can game and stream in all the rooms of the house without any interruption. This is the best router I have ever had.

    Great wifi router with not so great looks
    I am using this router from last couple of days now. It is working perfectly as it is supposed to. It has 4 ethernet ports, 1 usb port and network range is full signals within 1100 sq ft Nd drops a signal till 1500 sq ft. The aesthetics of the device are not very pretty as compared to some nice looking routers out there. It has same old traditional looks. Although it does the job it is supposed to do. Since I have started using it, I have not seen a single dropout in my connection. So pretty solid in that area. From speed perspective I did some tests using fast.com and received good and consistent results of 150-200mbps download with a parallel of 30 devices at a time for my 150mbps plan from cox. Overall, I am very happy with this device and would recommend this to anyone.

    Perfect Multi-Use Router
    When I connect this router to the modem, replacing is with the one that I had from Spectrum, I immediately noticed a difference in how much more smoothly my internet runs now! This router actually came at the perfect time because we were experiencing internet connectivity issues with the old router, and we were in desperate need for it to be faster since the kids have started their online school year. Now we don't get those crazy-long loading pages that we were experiencing before. Additionally, my husband does a bit of streaming since he is a gamer, and he also noticed and improvement in loading the streaming site pages that he regularly gets on for game streaming. When it's peak time for streamers he would typically experience slower loading times with pages buffering, but in the few days we have had this router, her hasn't really had that issue. It still buffers, but for just a few seconds and then he is connected to the streaming site(s) without any interruptions or the frequent freezing that he experienced before. I also like the convenience of being able to switch between the two different router speeds that are offered 2.4 and 5.0. If you are a streamer, work from home, or your kids do online school, then this router is the perfect investment to make!

    Fantastic Router!
    Routers have come a long way in the last few years in terms of both data rate performance and ease of use. I unpacked this router, plugged in the power cable, plugged in the ethernet, and it was done. Before, my macbook on the other side of the house would get about 10 Mbit down, and now I get 140Mbit down, 14 times faster! When wired directly, I get 230Mbit. I couldn't be happier. It's a combination of stronger RF with the 3 antennas, and going from 802.11n to ac. Thank you Linksys.

    Bye bye rented router
    Router works just as it says plug and play pretty quick all our devices are connected just fine. Time to get rid of the rented Internet router save some money. The router has the same speed if not better than Internet providers router. I have no trouble with all of our smart devices (insert name here) connecting.User-friendly plug and play pretty much all around good router.

    Better Connection
    I've struggled with my router going in and out for years and I thought it was just my wifi but since I got this router I haven't had that problem once. It is sleek and very simple to set up. I have 8 devices hooked up to it at all times including 2 laptops, a desktop, 2 cell phones, 2 Xboxes, and an Alexa and I do not have connection issues at all. The price is reasonable for the quality, I only wish I made the switch sooner and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

    Stronger WiFi and parental control too!!!
    I needed something that would actually make my WiFi connection strong and could help me set up parental controls on my ps4. I did not actually think I could find one product that could do both. I have two daughters ages 12 and 13. My oldest likes to go online and make new friends as she says. She is young and nieve and gullible. So I needed to block access to the browser on my PlayStation 4. It took my husband about 10 mins to set up the linksky WiFi router. It works great. Our WiFi signal works outside now in our yard and even next door. I am beyond happy we chose this router. I like it a lot. It's one of the best routers we have had. It's nice and sleek looking too. I would definitely recommend this router to anyone that needs a router. It's affordable and works great. I was able to download an app for the router and block websites and things from the ps4 in a matter of mins. I even get alerts from the ps4 when my oldest tries to go to the websites I blocked. It will say that the links broke. I would buy this router again if I needed too.

    A decent router
    The ‘Linksys MAX-STREAM Dual-Band WiFi 5 Router' offers the look of a professional software. It's a crisp,clear (the interface for the router settings). It has the 3 antennas which allows you to set up your best connection,however it doesn't have quality of service settings. (It won't let you adjust bandwidth.) the led lights that allow you to see if you're connected are located on the back of the router which was a little inconvenient. Otherwise it's a pretty good router the speed is good.
