Since my wireless devices have also updated to benefit from the dual-band technologies, This was a clear choice. I am on a 10Mbps Cable connection, and I am getting every bit of that at the end devices. Data transfer between devices is extremely fast (No, sorry I have not ran an internal speed test) but I can say that it is noticeably faster than the old N router was when it was new.
Great router for a great price point. I know that there are newer and faster models available. I also know they cost between 4 to 8 TIMES the price that this one does. I cannot comment if this will work for the power gamers, but for the Netflix streamers, the iPad gamers, and the VPN, Work at home IT Professionals... It works just fine!
The set up was also the easiest that I have ever seen for a wireless device. I have personally set up thousands as a former Geek Squad (In home service) Double Agent.
Yes, I drove the Geek Squad mobile!
Internal throughput appears to be nominal, and in accordance with the device's specs. I will see what happens, once I've received my new cable modem.
They have a phone app too if you want to control your wifi from your phone and set up guest wifis. After getting this, I noticed my internet has been a lot better. The wifi is good and realized the leased box was crappy. It kept going out of signal every few mins. It was the worst at night too. But so far, with this and my netgear modem combined, it has made my internet experience a lot better.
Other than that it has everything I expect a modern wireless router should have including customizable subnet for class a, b & c, guest ssid, good 2.4 band coverage, QoS (tipically for your voip devices or any other ones you like), customizable firewall, ip forwarding, etc.
I have about 20 devices connected to the router including computers, hand held devices, A/V equipments, dlna storage, thermostats and never had any connectivity issues.
You are now connected to Marjorie.
Me : will not connect to internet modem
Marjorie: Hello Eva, my name is Marjorie. I'm here to help you today.
Me : shows wifi connected on my connections but internet will no connect either wifi or cable through router
Marjorie: Sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your Linksys router
Me : tried reset button, verified modem is connecting by connection direct to computer.
Me : also other devises will not connect to router by cable
Marjorie: I know that has been really aggravating for you Eva , especially since you have tried multiple things on your own
Me : even after connections show computer connected by wifi, when on the linksyssmartwifi page it keeps popping up saying router is not connected.
Me : tried all the standard tests with no connection
Marjorie: And pretty much, there is not internet from any device, even if you are trying with wifi or just an ethernet cord?
Me : correct, no connection by wifi or cable through router.
Me : verified modem is operating.
Me : see no option but to return this router.
Me : unless you can tell me what setting to change on the router to get it to work, it will not connect
Me : tried restarting modem, computer, router several times
Me : am now back on line using old router.
Marjorie: Ok please allow me a moment Eva so I can review all of your messages and gather some information
I've spent probably 2 hours working with the "Smart" setup, struggling the entire way, only to discover that the the Wireless Bridging option doesn't exist. (Including creating a new account, validating it, but now it doesn't recognize my name/pass, and, if I request "Forgot my Password", no email is sent.... How "smart" of you.). Presumably, I can bridge via Ethernet, which is pretty useless to me.
So, back in the box it goes, and I'm off looking for a much more cheaper alternative....
