Reviews around service (4.53 of 5)

  • Great product, but better customer service, professional follow up with emails from Medialink
  • I read that Medialink has great customer service, but in the year+ that I've had
  • So far no problem with this product, and I had outstanding customer service
  • Stay away from this company, the have horrible customer service

Reviews around apartment complex (3.78 of 5)

  • I would have gone with a even faster and more modern A/C router, but all of my WIFI devices only support wireless N, and thus wouldn't be compatible with the newest tech.
  • The signal strength of the Medialink is detected as being weaker than the signal of other networks in range (I live in an apartment complex)
  • I lived in an apartment complex where there were at least 20 different wifi signals at any given time and the Medialink
  • I live in 17 story apartment complex in downtown Cleveland
  • Would highly recommend as it was easy as screwing in a ljghtbulb and works like a dream.

Reviews around speed (3.50 of 5)

  • Tried it as both router and extender but got really slow speeds
  • I realised the problem with the router only when I once connected with the ethernet and got good speeds
  • I have been having widely inconsistent download speeds with this router since installation
  • The router itself works fine and the speed is good, but if you need any sort of range beyond 2 or 3 rooms I would look elsewhere.
  • Unless you are right next to your router and can reset it all day long and don't mind slow speeds.

Reviews around know bug (2.18 of 5)

  • We had two laptops, two xboxes, two ipads, three smartphones, a smart TV and a Wii U at one time, and there was no problems
  • Have lost trust with the Medialink since,1) it was a known bug, potential buyers should have been notified immediately once bug was
  • I would advise anyone with Apple products or ATV to AVOID THIS ROUTER and others to be wary of a company which puts out a product with known bugs and does not notify potential buyers of known bugs nor keeps people who bought the product informed of the bugs status
  • I would have gone with a even faster and more modern A/C router, but all of my WIFI devices only support wireless N, and thus wouldn't be compatible with the newest tech.
  • Replaced with a Linksys (Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router) and no problems for the last year and half.
