Ok, I was in the same boat as many other negative reviewers here. I couldn't get the Smart WIFI Web Based Setup to work, then the router started to loop and then it would randomly reset/reboot on its own. Now, I am not a network tech or even in IT but I do know my way around most electronic devices. These symptoms that others had written about were the same that I was now experiencing with this brand new router. Heck, I couldn't even make it to the setup page to try and update the firmware because of the hardware resetting/rebooting every 10-45 seconds. Stepping back for just a moment, this reminded me of a 12v audio/computer installation that experienced similar problems/behavior. Our 12v in car PC would have instability and random reboots/random hardware failures. After many hours testing each component in the setup as well as checking each wire in the custom harness, a ROOKIE, yes a ROOKIE got his multimeter out and tested the source power (where the harness was hooked to the battery/distribution box) and the destination connections (where the harness lead into the car PC) and as it turns out, the voltage was below 10V, causing us to realize that we used the wrong gauge wire. We essentially used the bare minimum wire for the installation and whenever the in car PC would have a load on it (cold boot), the voltage would drop just enough to cause issues. We beefed up the power line considerably and all was well after that. Why the heck do I write a router review that includes a story about a 12v car PC? Cause the same problem is here: The Linksys label on the bottom of the router calls for a 12v 2a power supply. I checked the power supply that this NEW router came with and low and behold, the darn thing is rated for 12v 0.5a. This router will NEVER work properly without the correct power supply. I got a power supply from my LED strip parts bin that was rated for 12v 3.0a and plugged it in (same barrel connector). The router immediately came online, downloaded its updated firmware immediately and went online within 1 minute. I have only had this router for two hours since the power supply was corrected and I have had NO issues as of yet. To all of the folks that still have this router and are having any intermittent connectivity issues or having setup issues, check the power supply label and see if it is 12v 2.0a or higher. If it is not, replace it and hopefully that will solve your issues. Keep in mind that you may need to complete a factory reset with the new power supply and go through the setup process (as noted in the forums and manuals). If your router still is NOT working after correcting the power supply and redoing the factory reset & setup, then you may truly have a defective unit.

Quality made - Outstanding performance

ROCK SOLID. Easy installation. The router is well built - heavy duty. Note: Please download and use the Linksys app for set up - as it makes it smooth and easy. The in installation in total took about 30 minutes, not including logging into the new wifi on all our devices. I am getting great reception throughout my larger house - full bars everywhere. Consistently great speeds when tested. Great speeds even at other end of house. I use to use (2) routers EA4500 - before one died - prompting me to buy this one. The E7500 - AC1900 blows them out of the water with its performance. I wish I would have done this sooner. Also,the concurrent speeds of our devices (when they are all in use at the same time), seems much faster and more stable. I do not pretend to understand the MIMO technology - however the results have been are impressive. Buy with confidence if you have a larger more spread out home and have many online devices. It will deliver a strong signal and great speeds.

Great router!

Bought this the last day of 2017 and got delivery yesterday. It was to replace my 7 year old N300 router. No manual in the box, just a quick set up sheet of paper which I found rather confusing. Saw some videos on YouTube but still had issues configuring it. Called the 800 support line and spoke to someone in broken English who asked for the serial number of the unit and explained it was out of the one year warranty with free support. I explained I just got this thing in the mail today and purchased it "new" (I thought) just 3 days earlier. She said okay, they would start the one year warranty effective today then. She talked me through set up which didn't take too long, and I got connected. I saw speed increases of up to 58 MBS on 2.4 GHz where I used to see just 24 MBS, on 5 GHz I am seeing 115 MBS on my Android devices which apparently has dual band wifi modems. To sum it up, nice device, decent price , setup challenging for newbies. Tech support could be better.

Installation and setup was pretty simple and I'm not computer tech

It was definitely time to replace my old router. I've had this one a week and so far it seems to be a big improvement over my previous 10+ year old Linksys. Installation and setup was pretty simple and I'm not a computer tech. I estimate it took about 15 minutes including thoroughly reading the instructions but you can honestly do it without reading anything if you just go to the website. It will walk you through everything. It solved my disconnect issues. I have 17 devices in my house that can connect to the internet and it isn't too uncommon for 8 of them to be connected at once with up to 5 of those streaming a movie or video game. The old router just couldn't handle that and it would force disconnects at times. So far this one has handled that volume with no problems. The 5 GHz connection seems to have helped streaming as well. I haven't had any lags in video streaming like I did before.

Part of the Linksys faithful

I replaced an old model of Linksys model WRTG. It was still operational and must be 10 to .15 years old,maybe older.Nonetheless with cutting the Comcast Cable I now have Amazon Fire T.V. ,Netflix,Amazon Prime video and Hulu.While watching movies it took a while for them to load up and at times that buffering effect was going on .So I figured I'd try replacing the router.Stayed with Linksys and purchased the EA6350,it has a second band at 5 ghz.The old router had only the 2.4 ghz band. That did the trick,all movies stream great now at 5ghz.The EA 6350 was a breeze to install,just followed directions and it was operational in 10 minutes. I was able to set new passwords one for each band .It has been about 1 month now and all is well.I would have to assume that this unit from Linksys will perform just as well as the last.I would recommend this router to anyone.I don't have a lot of devices using the band width,at present 3 Kindle Fire tablets,Amazon T.V.,2 cell phones and a laptop.All seven have been used at the same time with no problem at all.

4 Wemo Smart Plugs, 2 Google Home

**Updated** 1/19/2018 I was beginning to notice deteriorating performance on my Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 WiFi Cable Modem likely due to both its age (~5yrs) and the increased number of WiFi devices in my home. I have 2 Android phones, Android tablet, 4 LiFx Mini Smart Bulbs, 2 Google Home, a Google Mini, a Chromecast, a Chromecast Audio, a Roku, and occasionally my work laptop all connected to my home WiFi. Therefore I decided to upgrade my router and based on the reviews the AC1900 seemed like a good mid-range, dual-band WiFi router. I disabled WiFi on my WiFi Cable Modem and setup the new router. I connected the 4 LiFx Mini lights using the 2.4 Ghz "802.11n Only" mode and the rest of my devices using the 5GHz "802.11ac Only" mode. At first I didn't notice much improvement over my 5 year old router so I suspected that something was wrong. I factory reset the new router and immediately noticed a significant improvement in speed, range, video quality when streaming video via Chromecast/Roku, and VOIP phone calls via Google Home. 802.11ac does make a noticeable difference over 802.11n and so far performs as fast as an ethernet connection. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I had a Linksys router before and needed a replacement, after looking through reviews and determining my needs for home wifi this model seemed the best. It was very easy to setup it was up and running with minutes. I was able to connect all my devices (2 TVs, 2 Tablets, 2 Phones, video game console, Fire Stick and Chromecast) within 30 minutes. That includes labeling them in the app, which I feel is one of the best features of the Linksys routers. All in all great buy for the price and I get to have 2 wifi network on 2 different frequencies (2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz). I highly recommend buying this product especially if you run a lot of devices and do a lot of streaming.

Great Router!

I intentionally waited a month before reviewing this router. I got it on Deal of the Day or it would have probably been out of my price range (or needs). I work from home, have 8 desktops/laptops, 2 printers, security cameras, various tablets and smart phones, smart TVs and devices, netflix, Amazon Instant Video, etc. My needs are more than most, but still not necessarily so extensive that I would need this router. But, I got a good price, and decided to splurge. I've not been disappointed. This router replaced a Belkin RT68U that was about 3 years old, so I do typically purchase high end routers. Setup: Simple and quick. I configured my Network name and passwords exactly as in my old router, and all my devices connected without the need to re-configure. This was a huge time-saver. Setup time took less than 20 minutes, including connecting cables, going through the setup, and updating firmware. Speed: I have Xfinity (Comcast). I did a speedtest (wired and unwired). Download speed went 80 Mbps to 180 Mbps and upload speeds from 25 to 40 Mbps. These speeds can vary and I only ran the test once. Range: Awesome. No other word for it. Placed the router middle floor, same location as the old Belkin. I now have 5 bars on top floor and basement and 4 bars in far corners of both. I have a fairly large yard (3/4 acre) and I'm connected all over the yard. Features I like: Linksys Smart Wifi allows connection to the router from anywhere and the ability to setup alerts. Static IP: reserve an IP for a device (like security cameras, printers, etc.) by simply clicking on the device in the network map and selecting reserve DHCP address. I can't say I've used many of the advanced features I payed for, but I'll get there. I hope this review was helpful.

Replaced the Verizon Fios G1100 with this...

I decided on this router to replace my Verizon Fios "Quantum Gateway" router, model G1100, which I was paying $12/month for. I am an engineer by trade but I am by no means a networking expert, in fact this is one technical field that I don't have a lot of experience or knowledge about. Despite that fact I was EASILY able to replace my Fios router with this one, literally within minutes. No problems to speak of. Once you disconnect the Fios router (there are instructions for doing this on the Fios website) this router will automatically connect to the service and activate within a couple of minutes. It is that simple. In addition, the Linksys website and app are both useful and very easy to use. The main reason why I decided to get this, aside from saving myself from the monthly payments, is because I was having connectivity issues in my home. I discovered that there were several reasons for this. But in terms of a direct comparison to the Fios unit, I can tell you for certain that this router is slightly better in terms of overall range. After I switched the Fios unit with this (in the exact same location) my televisions and other devices in my home were receiving a slightly stronger signal and also stayed connected in circumstances when they used to disconnect. I also ended up moving the router location in my home and added a Linksys ethernet switch to further improve the network in my home for streaming, but that really has nothing to do with this review. Overall I am happy with this purchase. This router has improved the overall stability and range of the wifi network in my home and has reduced my Verizon monthly payment amount, which means it will pay for itself in about a year. Any investment that pays for itself that quickly is probably worth it.

WOW!!

First of all, all I can say is WOW! All of this time I have been complaining to my ISP about slow internet speeds and not getting what I am paying for. I have been signed up for 100mbps for the longest time, but on the best of days I would only get 35mbps. I checked my modem, it's a DOCIS 3.0 so I guess I just chalked it up to being in a bad coverage area. The slow speeds really started annoying me as the wifi in my bedroom would barely reach 5mbps and I would end up switching to LTE on my phone to get webpages to load. I purchased my wireless router in 2010 (seven years ago) and the whole time in between I was ignorant to think that WiFi technology hasn't changed and that I didn't need an upgrade. Boy was I wrong. I finally concluded that the problem has to be with my router so I hit up Amazon to find a new one since mine was so dated. I looked at various NetGear routers but decided against them from the many negative reviews. I stumbled across this router, and even though it is on the pricier side of the house, the reviews were solid and I took the plunge and boy am I happy I did. My internet is now faster than ever and I am finally getting what I am paying for! I couldn't be happier. These are the speeds I was getting before and after purchasing this router: Living room: Before -- 35mbps After -- 118mbps Bedroom: Before -- 5mbps After -- 102mbps Bathroom: Before -- 1mbps After -- 50mbps As you can see, the speeds have been significantly impacted. The antennas on these bad boys send the signal all the way to the back of my house and I can finally browse in peace where ever I am. Honestly, I can't believe I waited this long to make the upgrade. If you have terrible service and aren't getting the speeds you are paying for, your problem very well may be in your dated router, as mine was. If you have a few extra bucks to spend to finally get those speeds you've been dreaming of -- GET THIS ROUTER!
