In the end, Linksys customer support is not helpful at all and they try to upsell me these support packages I don't need when it's clearly a hardware failure

Got this about 2 weeks ago when my router had a hardware failure

I purchased this model to replace another one that had experienced hardware failure and could no longer connect to the internet

Luckily, they determined that it's a hardware failure

The Max-Stream AC2200 exceeds my expectations in signal strength with reaching far parts of the building including the third floor (I'm on the first) as well as to the other end of the property and half a block down the street

I have also plugged a 2T Hard Drive into it and setup my own cloud to serve all the devices on the property as well as we are out running arouns

Also compatible with faster internet speeds as our old router was limited as to the speed it could handle.

Bought to replace an old D-Link router that worked just fine but was too slow

Signal strength is as good f not better than being next two the "base router"
