Reviews around product (3.41 of 5)

  • this is a horrible product, after all the setup and basic configuration the router would not give out dhcp addresses to all devices, I connect router to directv, sonos, amazon fire, mobile phones, ipad, and pc.
  • Overall it's a solid product but just make sure you don't expect the world from this router.
  • Darn shame with such a faulty product, I had a Linksys years ago that never gave me an ounce of issues for YEARS
  • Let me recommend one of our other expensive refurbished products so that we may someday have this chat again!
  • Product works as promised however the web interface is not so great DHCP reservations not saving
