Linksys 802.11 B Wireless Router

I have used routers from Netgear, Linksys, and others for years. They all seem to die after a year or so. The newer ones with more CPU usually overheat, become unreliable, and have not had predictable throughput. Eventually I buy a new router. I do not mind the upgrade, but the high-speed routers from other brands typically are twice the price. This router so far has given repeatable performance. The old router often reached 74Mbps but dipped and slowed (802.11ac PC). The Archer A73X transfers at a steady 80MB/s or more, no dips. I upgraded my other PC with a TP-Link WiFi 6E AX5400 PCIe WiFi Card (Archer TXE75E) to take advantage of 802.11ax. Although predicted for higher speeds it does reach 110MB/s reliably in my system. The only thing I find is the wireless coverage is better and worse depending upon device. I have an older tablet that is not as fond of the Archer A73X and drops connection. As mentioned, the two main PCs above are stable and reliable. Hope it doesn't die like the others. A month in, so far, so good.

Upgraded from 802.11ac router and wireless network was dramatically improved - both speed and reliability. Gigabit FiOS was previously bottle necked by old router but now getting much closer to advertised numbers. No longer having issues with mult computers accessing VPNs and/or simultaneous Zoom calls. Set-up took a few tries but now very reliable. Very happy with upgrade.

Replaced a 6 year old linksys wireless router with this unit. My first time with a mesh system. Setup was very easy. All devices connected quickly. Internet throughput is so much better with this unit. I am using Verizon 5G home internet with this router. Getting nearly 300 mbps download consistently. I get a strong wifi signal all over my house (3300 sq ft) and outside. I am very happy with this unit.

best router i have ever had,my linksys router could never give me the speed this router does

Awsome...this router was an upgrade from a very old linksys router. There is no way to compair this. The wifi 7 is blazing fast. There is only one down side and that is the wifi 7 range, but thats where the wifi 6 comes in.

I purchased this to replace an aging Linksys router that was no longer up to the task of handling the number of smart home devices currently in use. I spent considerable time deciding between brands, specs, and cost before choosing XT8. Setup was as easy as it gets; the Asus app is a big step up from my previous Linksys app, and aided in making the setup smooth w/no hiccups. So far, performance has improved across all devices, and I no longer experience some of the issues I had with my previous system. All in all, a great system at a nice price point.

I replaced an expensive Linksys router with this one and my only wish is that I had done this sooner. Like the Ubiquiti switches, this is fairly simple to configure and install but also offers some very advanced settings for those that want to utilize those. It runs cool and quiet and made a dramatic difference in the speed and quality of both my LAN and WAN connections. Shown in picture with rack mount kit, not included with router.

I purchased this AP to replace a Linksys EA6900 router that I had setup as an AP. I am VERY satisfied. The setup did require me to contact tech support which was also very helpful. It was only a minor issue but if you are not familiar with networking, don't hesitate to contact them. The AP provides very good range and led signals to help indicate the status. I have set this AP up in my attic and also utilized the USB port on the AP to install an AC Infinity USB fan since it is in the attic. The AP is very light and small in terms of size. The Unif Controller is very helpful in managing the AP but remember, it cannot be managed remotely. You must connect your laptop to the router or switch in order to manage the AP. The controller provides many tools to help your identify which AP is being widely used and which devices are connected to which AP. I slowly converted out of Linksys Routers that I had set up as APs. Although my routing is being done by a Linksys WRT1900 ACS which is a great combo! Overall, the AP is very reliable and provides great range. The current price is perfect and you should definitely consider implementing one into your network!

I moved from an older Linksys consumer router to this. Even though it's not the latest greatest anymore, it's definitely an improvement over what I had. I'm pairing this with another company's access point to cover my house. As others have probably said in different reviews, this device is more complicated to set up than a typical Linksys or Netgear router, but there are guides available to help through the process.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from Linksys. My router was not old but slowing down. This AX4200 is amazingly fast both wired and wifi. Easy to use. Netgear will be my brand going forward.
