Fast and stylish
Set up was pretty easy. It's slimmer then our other router wich is a bonus, and its not as bulky and ugly..lol Its much lighter weight, and looks better as well. So far it seems to work great. Our wifi server is horrible, and the equipment they issue isnt much better, but this router seems to be working great and much faster. We have  not had any issues as of yet, but only had it a bit over a week. We rent the router we have now from the server, but won't be any longer. This one will replace it, and it will save $15 a month rental fee. Im very satisfied with it so far.

It's a little too new.
I'm not sure if I can give an accurate review of this router. This is a preproduction item, there is only one version of software and drives right now, the media release. So it is functional, but not very customizable. Currently can't bridge, or pass though the router. As a router, this is great, love the Wifi6. Very fast, and has a modern design. Its not a big deal for most people, but I love the fact that this router has a on/off switch. That is awesome. One major draw back, is there is no lights on the ethernet ports. So if you have a loose or bad connection, it'll be a little harder to diagnose. I received this product from the Spark Reviewer program.

    Nice standup router.
    This Belkin WiFi Router is a good standing router that has a power on/off, reset capability, and back ports. It is meant for upright standing design and not for side position, so make sure the wires support the standup design meant for a desk or end table. My son is a heavy gamer and I teach college level courses online. I require a strong and dependable signal, which I get from this router. Setup takes a bit with password, but use the Wizard if it pops up as an option is my advise. I did mess up so that reset button came in handy with about 60sec reset time. In my opinion, this product requires some technical knowledge or some technology comfort level. It did reduce some lag and connection issues. Looks great and small enough not to get in the way. Overall, I like the results this router provides and works better than my older router. I would recommend.

    Easy to use home Wifi Router
    Easy to use router, friendly interface, clear and easy guided steps with tons of special specs for home owners. I configured the router using my phone (didn't need to use my pc or laptop) it took less than 5 minutes to unbox, to plug the cables, to power it and to make it work. If you get it wrong you can always reset the router manually and start over. I love the fact that is 110-220v, has port forwarding, guest mode so you don't need to share your private network, has dual band and good tech support through their web page. This is a very good option for technical and non-technical people, totally recommended!

    Good router
    I am definitely not a tech person, but it is extremely easy to connect to this router. All you need to do is just unbox components, connect correct wires, download the app, and push GO. Done! I am very happy that Belkin came up with this extra easy router. I have already set up my parental controls for the kids' devices. My favorite feature is when I choose what time they should be done. It is awesome! My only complaint is that the router is huge. It doesnt fit in our designated place. Other than that, I am very happy with this product. And I definitely recommend this router to anyone interested.

    Good quality router for the price!
    This router works better than I expected for the price! Upgraded from the one the cable company provides because the network was slow and didnt cover the entire house. We have 18 devices and 1500 sq ft and this thing does the trick! No more lag or connectivity issues!

    Stylish and functional
    This took me awhile to review because I am very fussy with WiFi routers. Connectivity, wireless range, speed, style and instillation ease. I have to give this a 5 star because it didn't disappoint. We have a large 3 floor brick house and can connect in every room including outside. We have a WiFi based security system and all my exterior cameras work uninterrupted. Probably my favorite part of this is the actual look. Granted no electronic is attractive, but this is better than the standard black ugly router. Good product and would recommend!

    Better performance
    I have 1 Gig connection at home, but most of us do not realize that we can not leverage that kind of speed if our devices do not support . By device i mean both - the one which is called as "Internet gateway or Model or Router " and the other end our ipad , pc or gaming console . Now the issue is we all buy new ipads/pc which are definitely upgraded with new Wifi adaptors which support higher speed but our internet gateway/Router is still old and does not support the gig speed. So it resolves this big ISSUE with its wider Wifi band - (means more actual internet speed) . Its really amazing and makes whole lot of difference when multiple devices are connected . Few Specs are: * MORE CAPACITY, MORE DEVICES. WiFi 6 provides more capacity to handle every mobile, streaming, gaming, and smart home device on your network—more than 20 devices. * DUAL-BAND WIFI 6. A sleek modern design and support for 20+ devices with coverage up to 1,500 sq. ft. * FAST, AX1800 WIFI WITH BELKIN. The latest WiFi 6 router offers capacity to handle 20+ mobile, streaming, gaming, and smart home devices on your network. The key points are - supports 1.8 gig , better security (which is always an issue in previous wifi bands), multiple devices , have enough lan ports for your direct connectivity and support QUAD CPU for better Internet packets forwarding . Now it also provides you the little to more management support . Quick, easy set up Browser-based set up and management are a breeze. You can have more control on the accessed websites(for kids) , timings for the internet can be enabled , so you do not have to rely on any Service Provider app to control such things rather you can do it yourself . The best thing i like is to prioritize the traffic for the device , lets say you are playing the game and you want that your PS4 gets the maximum bandwidth when there is congestion, so that can also be done . Overall its a good performing router at the given price point.

    quick setup
    I found this router to be very easy to hook up and get a signal from my wifi setup. The router was packaged excellent with very easy to understand directions. Unfortunately for me this product did not provide enough coverage for my house. I have a three story house and the signal would not travel as far as I needed to cover my whole house. I think this would work great for a smaller footprint house. The fact it is capable of wifi 6 makes this router further proof. I would recommend.

    Very fast router
    This BELKIN AX1800 WIFI 6 ROUTER is great! It was so easy to hook up and to get it started! It works great! My WiFi is a lot faster than it was with my old router. We constantly had to reboot our old router and have had absolutely no problems with this router. This router has exceeded my expectations in every single way! I also love how small and compact it is. I love BELKIN brand products! I definitely recommend this BELKIN AX1800 WiFi 6 router!!!!

    Exactly what I needed
    I have internet from my cable company, and was given a free router from my installer that does have wifi capability that I haven't used because I did not want to pay a monthy fee for wifi use. I have been using an "n" router that I purchased a few years ago instead. I have replaced my old single channel 2.4 ghz."n" router with this one and because most of my devices are 802.11ac I was able to see an immediate improvement of my download speeds by 2 to 3 times as fast. I do not own any wifi 6 (ax) devices yet, but when I do, I am looking forward to being able to enjoy even greater speeds. The RT1800 router is visually appealing and looks great next to my cable router in my tv cabinet. The hookup was simple and easy as was the setup program. The only issue I had setting up was the final step wanted me to connect, and then kept telling me I had no internet. I did recall reading in the instructions that I would not have internet until I finished the setup program. After some head scratching, I decided that I needed to exit the setup program to rerun it. I then logged out of the router, and then voila! I had internet! Maybe the setup program should instruct the user to log out of the router Admin account before continuing? At any rate, all has been well since then. This router is truly "set and forget". I have so far, not experienced any problems at all. I live in a 1500 sq. ft. house and am able to get a 5 ghz signal in every corner. I didn't need a router with a greater range. This one suits my needs adequately. My cable internet is about 200 mbps, and the router can pass that speed through to the LAN ports (verified using OOKLA) so I can hook up that way if I want to download some really large files. My upload speed is limited to what my cable allows, so it is the same no matter whether it is LAN or wifi. I like Belkin because even though it is a "budget" router, it is very reliable. I still have an old Belkin router from 2010 that still works, and I hang onto for backup. I like the RT1800 because it gets the job done without breaking the bank, and you don't have to know a lot about wireless technology to be able to use it. Though, if you you really want to dive in, you can fiddle around with the settings, but I would not recommend it if you don't know what you are doing.

    Great Replacment For my aging WRT54g
    I replaced my old Linksys WRT54g router with this Belkin Ax1800. While being complete overkill for me speedwise i figured it was time upgrade beyond Wifi B/G My newer devices are able to connect wirelessly to at least the base speed of my Xfinity Plan of 175Mb/5Mb The Web based setup was really easy. Too easy. Included USB port for Network Printing or drive access is great and cant wait to get that set up with a storage drive. As with most routers, only 4 Lan Ports are included so Im also using with a TPLINK 8-port gigabit switch also with no issues. Overall a great unit for small homes or apartments. All wireless antennas are internal and cannot be upgraded or moved. So unit placement in the Center of all your internet needs will be critical. The 5ghz range is okay but one wall made a big dent on the 5Ghz channel. Ive been running for three days and haven't had issues, I run most of my equipment wired. My phones and laptop being the only 3 devices that use wireless also have no issues. Being a wifi 6 router upgrading will be a non issue for another decade.

    Belkin WiFi 6 Router RT1800
    This router was so easy to set up, it was ready to go in under 5 minutes! It supports speeds of up to 1.8Gbps We have about 30 devices in our home, which were all successfully connected, and I was still able to get 300mbps speed on my internet speed test. Our home is roughly 2500Sq Ft, and all the devices around our home connected easily to the router, though it states 1500 Sq Ft coverage on the box. It can also be used as a wireless bridge. It has a usb feature port where you can plug a usb stick and share the files (media within your network to other supported devices). It comes with a 1 year warranty. it supports simultaneous dual band 2.4ghz and 5Ghz. it also supports guest access and parental controls, which is very useful to block unwanted websites, or simply limit the time your kids can spend online (a very useful tool).

    Belkin wifi 6 Router
    This is a good wireless router. It has 1 Gb WAN port and 4 Gb LAN ports. There is 1 USB 3 port. It has dual band broadcasting for simultaneously streaming, gaming, and social networking. Its firmware is automatically updated. It has WPA3 security. Its really one of the newest routers with the most up-to-date technology. At this price it is well worth it. Of course it is WiFi 6 and that is the best part of it. Quite easy to setup.
