What I Needed
My old router would cease working once 200mbps would come into the house. My ISP provides super fast, reliable internet. I pay for 500+ mbps. I purchased this Linksys router and it has solved the speed problem. Setup was easy. It took about 45 minutes from unboxing to enjoying high speed internet. Setup was easy. The phone app did all the work. The device os not bulky. It is small and sleek. It has it's place on the top shelf of my shelving. The signal travels all through the two-bedroom house, the back yard, and almost all the way to the carport, which is pretty far away. Newer routers are too expensive for me, but this one was the right price. Excellent value.

It is still working!
While I am pleased with the performance of this device, the setup could have been easier.The phone app is not easy to use and kept hanging up on me. Once I finely got the router setup,The web based system functioned well. One thing, the password kept changing on me. I don't know why.Overall I like this unit, just think setup could use some tweaking.

Do Not Buy - Warranty not honored
SHORT VERSION: Any company that keeps you on the phone for 4 hours of tech support, can't fix the issue, and still won't honor the warranty isn't a company I want to buy from.LONG VERSION: I have 2 Linksys MR20EC routers bought in Jan. 2025 & July 2025. After about 8 hours of troubleshooting, I determined that the one bought in Jan. was defective - wild swings in internet speed from 500 Mbps to 30 Mbps multiple times per hour. It was also intermittently dropping wi-fi connections with devices farther than 20 feet away. Meanwhile, the router bought in July was working perfectly: consistent speeds and connections stable as far as 35+ feet.I've now spent 4 hours (over 2 separate days) on the phone with Linksys Tech support, and they still won't honor the warranty, despite devices dropping connection while I was on the phone with them... despite the fact that I have the same make and model router that actually does work (for comparison).Their recommendation? Well, I may just need a child node to reach distant locations over 20 feet. That will fix the issue. (Yes, it will because the router is DEFECTIVE!) And I can separate the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels because that "might" be causing the issue. (Funny how that isn't a problem with the router I bought in July!) I was told to "monitor the situation" for a few more days and call back (for the third time) if I still had issues... so we can do MORE troubleshooting.I've had it! I hope this honest review of my experience with their routers and tech support saves someone else the time and money I've wasted with Linksys.I had a Netgear Nighthawk that worked flawlessly for 4 years before it had to be replaced. I won't buy Linksys again.

New router that’s way and dependable
Obviously easy install, for someone like me who knows nothing about AV. Works great.

Well Deserved 5 Stars
I’ve left hundreds of reviews over the years and can count on one hand how many items that I’ve given 5 stars. This router deserves 6!My old Apple Air Port was showing its age, and Comcast recommended new equipment (theirs of course) as I wasn’t getting the speeds that I was paying for. My modem was fine, but my router was ancient.Even though my modem was fine, I decided to overpay for an Arris all-in one (G36).The app was horrible, I was getting slower speeds than I had with my old equipment and after spending 2 days with tech support, I was told to ditch the app and return the router/modem for replacement. No thanks.Since my modem was fine, I decided to just upgrade the router. Got this for a steal at $96.I’m an old guy, so I’m not tech-illiterate, just not tech-savvy when it comes to networking. I had this and my WiFi network up and running in 15 minutes using the awesome Linksys app. I’m getting over 400 Mbs WiFi when I was getting about 120 with my old router. I installed it over two months ago and haven’t had to reset it or do anything, and the speed is still great.The app is also incredible beyond setup. I’ve been able to identify & rename the devices connected to my network to insure that there’s nothing suspicious on my network.Couldn’t recommend more highly!
