There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My main issue has been trying to get a strong and decent signal on the lower level. I tried multiple set ups (large router, mesh router, wifi extenders/repeater, and powerline), but I ultimately ran a wire from the upper level to lower. The main reason for running a wire was that I was only getting a fraction (at the most 200-300Mbps on the download) of my 1gb speed on the lower level.
My current setup (update):
1. TP-Link Wifi 6 AX6000 (main router on upper level).
2. TP-Link Wifi 6 AX6000 (lower level router as access point. Cat7 wire from main router). My second AC4000 5G signals became very unstable. I did not have this issue with my first AC4000. I could not get a AC4000 replacement so I upgraded the lower level router to an AX6000.
3. I am still getting download speeds in the 900-950Mbps wired, 500-600Mbps 5G, 40-60 2G.
The devices I tried include:
1. Linksys Tri-Band Mesh Wifi Router for Home (Max-Stream AC2200 MU-Mimo Wireless Mesh Router, Fast Wireless Router)
2. NETGEAR Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System - WiFi router and single satellite extender with speeds up to 3Gbps over 5,000 sq. feet, AC
3. TP-Link AC4000 Smart WiFi Router - Tri Band Router, MU-MIMO, VPN Server, Advanced Security by Homecare, 1.8GHz CPU, Gigabit, Beamforming, Link Aggrega
4. TP-Link WiFi 6 AX6000 8-Stream Smart WiFi Router - Next-Gen 802.11ax, 2.5G WAN Port, 8 Gigabit LAN Ports, MU-MIMO, 1.8GHz Quad-Core CPU, USB 3.0 Ports

Linksys Tri-Band Mesh Wifi Router for Home (in a two story apartment with solid concrete walls)
Setup
The setup was very quick and simple. It took no more than 15 minutes. I decided to broadcast the Wifi signals separately, so I can dictate myself what device connects to which Wifi band. However, the Linksys Smart Wifi does work very well.There were no issues accessing the router from the app or the webpage. More detail settings and configuration are achieved from the webpage access. One thing to note that with this router, you need a node to access the second 5G band.
Range and Speed
I have Xfinity 1gb internet connect. The router was placed on the upper level. The wired speed from the modem averaged low 900s Mbps. On the same level the Wifi range and strength was phenomenal. I got strong 2G and 5G signals anywhere on the upper level. Max download speed on my iphone XR Max and laptop was 600Mbps for 5G and 20-30Mbps on 2G. I had no issues with random disconnects or slow downs. However, on the lower, the signal strength was very poor. For the 5G band I was getting on more than 10Mbps, even when I was located under the router. The 2G signal faired a little better at 20-30Mbps.
I also used this router with a powerline and it work great. I used powerline and moved this router to the lower level. Modem to powerline (upper level), then powerline (lower level) to router. Through the powerline, my speed 200Mbps (wired). After connecting the powerline to the router, my wired speed was 170-180Mbps, 5G 120-130Mbps, and 2G 20-30Mbps. However, moving the router to the lower level meant I was sacrificing the Wifi signal on the upper level.
Why did I return it
-Need to have a node to access the second 5G band.
-Wifi could not penetrate to the lower level. However, this is more of an issue with the concrete walls.
Would I recommend this router?
I would definitely recommend this router based on the following:
-Reasonably priced.
-Simple and quick setup.
-Consistent range and speed (if you have a single level home without concrete walls).
Rebooted isp modem ...,
But my iPhone w Linksys Application did not find or discover router even when led was purple “ready for setup” after a few tries resetting router so I just directly cabled my laptop Ethernet port to one of router ports the logged in router via MS Edge (not chrome) web browser to 192.168.1.1 and
1. Updated firmware.
2. Configured the Tri-Bands to internet and
Saved router WiFi and dhcp ,
3. once laptop got an IP from rtr dhcp, then on my iPhone reconnect WiFi to new SSID-5 ok
Then had to re-setup all my devices with the new 3-WiFi bands...SSID-2G , SSID-5G1 & SSID-5G2
Tech support Josef -Very knowledgeable informed to use MS Edge browser which worked better when saving the tri-Band SSIDs
Now I started to see a list of online & connected Devices to Linksys router via (WiFi & Ethernet) and I have a very strong WiFi full bar signal even at my bedrooms 40-50 feet away.
Via iPhone of laptop WiFi .
Next setup Guest network WiFi with Tech Support. Ok.
So if all works fine by next week will return isp router and save some $$ on my Spectrum isp bill
Linksys app speed test works great and much better than the isp router info
Thx Linksys for a well designed solid product
Also WiFi Calling works much much Better on mu IPhone XR with Spectrum Mobile, which did occasionally
But usb 3,port still not working in development
But I am happy so far
Thx

Top reviews from other countries
The installation is super easy with the Linksys app. I love the app interface and features.
So for I haven't any issue with the wifi strength but I didn't expect any since the size of my house and the number of devices on my network are much lower than recommended for this rather expensive router.
