Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I bought it to install on a big house, it actually covered the whole house I'm just impressed. I installed 2 other velops just to make sure I was getting the best coverage. A bit expensive but it's worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy setup and works great in our attic for house. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this for us to have wifi in our new house and mounted it the attic. We have full bars and no dead spaces in the 2100 sq. foot home. Even works outside on patio and front porch. I have a switch and AP that I am planning to add to the network soon and now might not need them since it works so well. Order a second unit for our neighbors who needed a router and they are happy as well with the performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from CLEAN AND FAST [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple clean design, no frills but consistent performance. I get great speed from this router. Have not had a disconnect or freeze since I first plugged it in 3 weeks ago. The setup was effortless. It's compatible with all my wifi devices and I also get to enjoy wifi 6 speeds too! I'm digging this router big time. Thanks linksys!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast and reliable [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this router to upgrade from the cable companies equipment, and it made a huge difference. Speeds are way faster and stay connected. I no longer have buffering issues with streaming movies and ping spikes playing video games. It was easy to setup and configure.the signal is also way stronger than my previous router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Right in time! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product came right in time as I was moving into a new apartment and was in need of this router. It works well in my 2 bedroom apartment. I have no complaints so far. It was easy to set and has not disappointed me yet!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick Router [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this router. Setup was quick and only took about 10 minutes. The Linksys app is very easy to use. Once it was up and running it was simple to switch all my devices over from the previous router I was using. The first thing I noticed was the increase in speed, videogames downloaded much faster and didn't lag at times like they did before. I have it set up next to my tv and console, but even beyond that the range is pretty decent, and I've found an improved signal throughout my house. Another great feature I love is the ability to prioritize certain devices over others. I'm still learning some of the different things this router can do, but I'm definitely impressed. As a gamer, this upgrade is the best decision I made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So happy with this router! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old router wasn't cutting it so it was time for an upgrade. Linksys Is a brand I trust and everything I get from them is of really high quality. This isn't the cheapest option, but it is worth every penny and I highly recommend it! I love the look of this router, it kind of has a cool design that I admire. Set up was a breeze. My husband and I easily set up this router in our basement. Including time installing the app we were done in under 30 minutes. The app is the best feature of this device. I like seeing what devices are connected. Did I mention that you can connect up to 30 devices to this router? We keep this in the basement and it works for our whole house just fine without an extender. You get what you pay for and I would say this is among the best that you can get! Overall, I would recommend this router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were looking for a new router because we have four teenagers. Let me just say this router definitely does the job! It is able to keep up with everyone and their streaming needs! Between gaming, video streaming, and music the kids keep it working hard and busy! Our internet is fast and I have not noticed any issues with losing connections since getting the new router. My boyfriend said it was easy to hook up also which is a plus!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great performance! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The performance on this Hydra Pro 6 dual band WiFi router is magnificent. It’s performing like it was designed to do. My son’s PC is running as smooth as a baby’s bottom. It brought the upload and download speed up to satisfactory, no lagging at all. I have the router setup downstairs while his PC is upstairs. Thumbs up on the range. Most definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome router! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a big gamer and my house is pretty large (4000 square feet), and this router manages to provide strong signal to all corners of my home. I considered a mesh network, but instead I opted for one powerful router in a central location and it’s worked great. I would buy this again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy install [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to replace a five year old router and was drawn to this one based on it's capabilities to upgrade to a mesh system and it's SPEED! Blazing fast and it has consistency throughout a four bedroom home. I also really like the app, makes it to control the kids internet usage and allocate broadband appropriately. Would definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for homes with alot of devices! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This WiFi router is overall much better than my previous router. This allows for 30+ devices to be connected without slowing down the WiFi. We are able to keep all of our devices and smart appliances connected to this router at all times. We don't have to worry about disconnecting one device in order to connect another one or worry about the WiFi signal being weak from too many devices. The range is quite impressive too, we are able to stay connected about a block from our house. I highly recommend this product! The app is easy to use and navigate through.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Well [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dual band router is easy to install. Tool us few mins to set it up. The speed is good, once it is setup we haven't encountered any glitches, no restarting or anything needed. It support 2.4 and 6 G Hz wifi , we can connect our old and new devices securely. It supports mesh so we can increase the coverage by adding more points which is great if you have a big house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solved After new purchase of the MR5500, I was having trouble getting my hp Officejet 8600 Pro Plus to connect wirelessly. I'd had it connected to the preceding WRT3200ACM so knew it was something in the channel. The L2 Tech quickly identified the issue being with the Security protocol - the old device wasn't liking the new WPA Mix.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Router [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best router I have used. It puts out amazing signal strength. The amount of devices you can run on it without slowing it down is amazing. It is easy to set up and use and the security it uses is excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The future [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Linksys hydra pro six door band mesh Wi-Fi six router is the wave of the future. It has left my old router in the dust. I noticed remarkable improvement on low times for sites that usually took me much longer to load. I highly recommend this product. 10 out of 10

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wifi 6 [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first wifi 6 device that I have used. Its a dual band mesh router that works at 5 GHz. It comes with four LAN ports, one WAN port and USB 3.0. The big difference compared to my older router is the capacity to handle multiple devices while still maintaining fast connection. I have the router sitting at the highest central point on the main floor and I have had good signal throughout the house. I run eight devices  off wifi and I do think my connection is better particularly while streaming.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing router [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been in the market for a new router than can handle all my devices with ease. Having four smart tvs, multiple fire sticks, multiple gaming systems and all of the iPhones and iPads throughout the house I knew I needed something new when I was having trouble with my fast speed. I have 1GB internet and had been reading reviews about this router. Throughout the past few weeks this router has been able to handle all my devices with ease. My favorite part about it has been the free linksys app that lets me control which devices have priority.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works amazing!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This router makes my wifi in my home so fast. The router hooks to my modem at home and extends my wifi thru my whole house making my games run great. I have an upstairs and my wifi had always been slow up there now with this router I can actual stream all my stuff.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holy Buckets [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a game changer. Let me start with the installation. I am far from being technologically ept. But the instructions were easy to follow, and I was ble to get it set up. We have a lot of tablets, a ps5, internet tv, laptops, and i work from home. Basically saying I have a ton of stuff going on at the same time. It was able to handle several devices, and it didn't slow down, in fact it was more efficient. I was able to get easy wifi access in other rooms i normally would have stalling or slow responses from wifi. It improved the speed. It was awesome!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super fast speeds! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One word I have for this router, WOW! After recently installing a home security system that slowed down my wifi internet speed tremendously, I know it was time to upgrade my router. After using the standard router that was provided by the cable company, I am so glad we switched over to this gem. Having close to 20 devices using the wifi router, this Linksys router does its job and even more. My internet is now faster than ever before and we no longer have to worry about slow speeds when we have tons of devices running at once. On top of that, the installation process was seamless. 100% worth the investment if you plan on having multiple devices in your home!
