Linksys Router Devices No Internet

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.

This router replaced a 5 or 6 years old Linksys router that no longer had firmware updates. This is what I like about this router: 1. I love the fact that it can have one WiFi signal that seamlessly switches between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, whichever gives the strongest signal, with no intervention by the user on any devices. 2. I love the fact that firmware updates can be automatic. 3. I love the fact that it has built-in Safe Access that blocks malicious websites and then can send you an email telling you about it. 4. I love the fact that it has a 17 dbm stronger signal strength to stationary devices that were previously marginal with my old Linksys router. This is an EXCELLENT router that I highly recommend.

Just installed in my house. As compared to the standard COX Panoramic WiFi, AT&T Arris, Linksys E4200, & Motorola NVG589 routers, this solution way outperforms anything I have ever had in my house. It even way outperforms my Linksys E6800 AC1750 Wireless Range Extender solution. All three mesh devices were configured as AP's Access Points, and hardwired ethernet to the primary AT&T U-verse Arris Router. I turned off all WiFi from the AT&T Arris Router and only used the 2.4G & 5G WiFi from the TP-Link Mesh Devices. I thought about using the DHCP routing functions from the TP-Link Mesh, but I needed a few more ethernet ports on them. I also have my AT&T Router connected to two 32-port switches which provide Hardwired Ethernet connections throughout my house. There are about 40 hardwired devices and 20 WiFi devices at this location. I try to keep most of devices hardwired due to better dependability and faster connection speed. Maybe there is a better way, but his is working very well for me now. No more WiFi no-connection and low speed issues throughout my house. From now on I will always recommend a Mesh solution. And this product is a very good solution.

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

We have high speed internet and numerous devices...with the provided router from our internet provider we were having issue after issue due to provided router. Once we replaced the old router with the Orbi all problems resolved! Problem solved! No more dropped connections, no more streaming issues, no more slow speeds! GREAT!

I recently upgraded my internet connection to a fiber optic 2gb symmetrical connection and needed a router that could handle and distribute this speed throughout my network. I have an average of 70 devices connected at any given time from iot devices up to an iPhone 15 ProMax running WiFi 6e and this router handles it all without a hiccup. I also love the control you get from the web interface as well as the ease and convenience of the excellent App.

This modem has great speeds! I feel like her Internet has always been running fast. We used with the nighthawk router and are able to use many devices at once. We have Comcast and pay for 800ghz.

I have Synology NAS devices and thus expected the management software on this router to be good but it is even better than I expected. For example I can control (block) internet access to individual connected devices such as smart-plugs that I don't want phoning home to China and sending my Wi-Fi password. Can also prioritize some devices to get more bandwidth when the network is busy. So TVs don't buffer streaming video just because somebody else is downloading a big file. Configuration options are good for home or office use and includes security features I've never seen on other routers other than the Firewalla network firewall hardware. Can't comment on Wi-Fi range except that it works great everywhere in my apartment. I really appreciate that it has a tiny physical footprint -- unlike so many newer routers it takes up very little space on my office shelf. I don't have a backup internet provider so I can't use the feature that will switch to another internet source when the primary one fails. Even lets you configure an in-router VPN with free licenses for remote connections to your network. Bottom line it provides more than I need right now but has features I may want in the future, so I'm happy.

The router is extremely fast and I can tell my devices load faster however, you need a good internet provider to take advantage of it! As well, no more hiccups in speed when people come over. Highly recommend if you are trying to future proof yourself right now and want a good product

I was having issues with my smart devices and streaming HDTV. My wireless system was only giving me about 100 Mbps even though my cable internet was 800 Mbps. I looked into buying faster internet and discovered if I I wanted the cable company’s top speed of 1.2 Gbps, I needed a new modem. I purchased the latest and greatest cable modem, which was one model newer and capable of 2.5 Gbps. My internet speed didn’t get better. So, I decided to replace my wireless router. I researched the wireless routers available. The three key areas I concentrated on were the WAN connection speed, coverage and wireless specifications included. The ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 was the best in all three categories and the only router I found that had all three top of the line specifications. WAN - 2.5 Gbps Wireless - WiFi 6E Home Coverage - One router and one node replaced one router and five nodes. My coverage is better with less nodes. All my smart devices and my streaming HDTV are working great and I’m getting 950 Mbps internet speed. Smartest upgrade I’ve made.
