Easy Set-Up and Does What is Advertised
Quality design and build. Does not run hot. Looks like something out of a sci-fi show with the design and the four movable antennae. Simplest set-up I have ever completed for a router. Took it out of the box, read the quick startup card. Logged onto the Linksys site as directed. Then plugged in the router to the outlet and the modem. Logged into the site as directed and set up the network and the router's password. Also, I set up another account that lets me access the home network remotely.I noticed how easily understandable and clear the directions for everything are. The router having a separate password and settings allowing for automatic updates is helpful. Can set up parental controls and can also set up all three bands separately with each having its own log-ins. The guest network is also nice.I was impressed by the strength of the signal in a 3700 square feet, two-story house with a full basement. It was five bars to the first floor from the router location on the second floor at the south end of the house, four bars to the deck and yard outside, and three bars to the basement Previously, the speed of the old router was 3 bars to the first floor and 1-2 in the basement and 2 outside on the deck. Also, ran some tests for performance (I am not an IT guy) but the results surpassed my old router.Also, just for our own purposes, we tried to overload the system, so we had three computers, three cell phones (playing music on two and one messaging), and two TVs (one streaming Netflix and the other Hulu). There was no drop off of any device and no buffering delays. I assume this is due to the router being able to manage the devices and the individual data needs, but all I know is it worked. I was worried about needing an extender, but at this point am satisfied with the results.I gave this five stars based upon the quality of the router build, the ease of and flexibility of set-up, the features, and the performance-based upon less than a day of usage. I will provide an additional review down the road and if everything is still working flawlessly (or nearly so), will be happy to re-affirm the 5 stars then.Ver másVer menos
