First off I want to say that I received this product for free thru the Linksys Friends and Family program in exchange for an honest review.
I want to touch on three aspects of this router in my review of the product.
1. Hardware/design features.
2. Software
3. Reliability and functionality.

1. The design of the product is awesome I love the "throw back" to the good ol' WRT54g days, I also love the color blue. The profile is also a lot slimmer and has a smaller foot print when compared to the EA7500 which is also a fantastic router. This router has the ability to connect with ease to the Smart WiFi App on your phone and makes managing your network SO EASY. I also wanted to mention that the packaging/boxing of the product is amazing, I know it doesn't have anything to do with the router but you can tell a lot about the product from just opening the box... QUALITY and PRIDE.
2. The setup of the router was very simple this time I opted to go through the manual setup and it was a breeze, as usual with Linksys routers. Although anyone can setup this router with just the smart phone app you do not need to be a "computer wiz" which makes it incredibly convenient. I did hook up my external hard drive and loved being able to access my pictures and music from anywhere in my house, it worked very well and was basically plug-n-play.
3. This router has been installed for a couple weeks now and has NOT been restarted since. It's VERY reliable and I have been streaming, gaming, listening to music, and had up to 8 devices going at the same time my only limit is my internet bandwidth is about 25 mbps. One small complaint is that the range of this router was not as great as the Linksys EA7500, which is a newer product and a little more powerful in my opinion.
I would really recommend this product to someone with many devices going at the same time. You get a reliable product with a great design for a fantastic price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

1. The design of the product when comparing the device to my two old Linksys routers (e3000 and ea2500) is a bit clunky and large which is why I took away one star, I am a big fan of power and range but at the cost of a rather large footprint I prefer a more streamlined package. An important part to note about this router though is it has exceptional range and I don't drop any bars anywhere in my house.
2. The setup of the router has been by far the best experience I have ever had with any router. I plugged it in and installed the smart wifi app on my phone and it just walked me through the setup and within 10 minutes of unplugging my old one I was up and running. The app is GREAT, super easy to use and reliable I have to say it hasn't crashed once since using it. With this router being a MU (Multiple User) I can easily open up the app and set a new device/program priority, use the port forwarding for game ports, see what devices are connected, set parental controls all within the phone app.
3. My previous router the EA2500 had some connectivity issues and since using this router they are a part of the past. Like I said before this router has amazing range and speed, i don't drop bars and the throughput is consistent. Being that I have several devices I like to use (ipad, PS4, iphones fire tv) I decided to try them all at once and see how the router performed. The test worked well except the downfall has nothing to do with the router. My internet speed was not able to handle all the streaming and gaming . I was able to be online gaming, streaming netflix, streaming twitch, and watching youtube, all while uploading files to google drive. This would've NEVER happened with the other router. I always had to reboot the router and modem due to the signals dropping.
Overall I would really recommend the router and its a fantastic choice for a high number device house. Well worth the price tag as well, you get what you pay for when it comes to my router I pay the money for a stable connection. Get this one you wont be disappointed!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What is the best router for me ?
I have 2 xboxs, 2 kindle fires, and 2 lap tops in my house. There could be 4 wireless connection going at once.
I would recommend the Linksys EA7500 Max-Stream™ AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router. This router is great for multiple users and connections going at the same time.
