Linksys Wireless Router User Manual

Oh, I like this router.  I like it a lot.  It is tiny.  It is probably a quarter of the size of the consumer router from Cisco/Linksys, prior to the Belkin acquisition of Linksys, that it replaced.  It is also a managed switch so it is much more feature packed.  It can handle multiple VLANs, VPN, Firewall rules, NAT rules with DMZ roles, and the list goes on.    Here is the negative: It is a managed router with an interface designed for professional network engineers.  I have worked in IT professionally for nearly 25 years and I am extremely grateful that Ubiquiti included the WAN+2LAN2 Wizard as part of their management software.  I was reading through the software manual to set the router up and I am thinking, I see how to configure DHCP, I see how to configure internal routes, now how do I set this up to use DHCP on one of the network ports that I plug in to the cable modem and set up that route to the private network served by this routers DHCP server through NAT?  It turns out the afore mentioned wizard sets up that exact configuration which can then be easily tweaked once all the parts are in place.  And that wizard matters because unlike a consumer router, there is not a dedicated jack to plug in to your modem; any of the five jacks can be configured in that role or any other role.   Basically, this little guy can make your network as intricate as you can conceive with five network ports.  Even with the wizard it is more involved than setting up a consumer router, but a little reading of the manual for individuals not familiar with the terms being used and it should not be much more difficult.  As a final note, the manual can be downloaded from the manufacturers website and if it looks overwhelming then this probably is not the product for you.

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

I have always been a Netgear user but a friend suggested I assess this product, given my spec preferences. The phone app is good to make the initial setup. The Web interface is significantly better for those of us interested in security and technical detail. I found all that I needed in the Web interface. One amusing fact is that no "user manual" is available for this product, only a "quick start" manual. Yes, there is a YouTube channel, but none really dedicated to this product line. I find that inexcusable. For those of us with home networks that are Ethernet and wireless, the Ethernet backhaul seems to require a home run from the router to the mesh satellite rather than an Ethernet connection through a switch. I say that because the Web interface doesn't recognize that the mesh node is connected to the router via the mesh node's Wan port to the router's LAN port. Other than these comments, I am enjoying a multi-gig connection to my fiber provider's multi-gig service.

Great wireless follow focus system. I just wish the manual was a little more user friendly. But slowly working my way through trial and error. I have not yet been able to sync this to my camera with BT for rec stop, but thats very much a me-issue. Like I said, I wish the manual was more 'first time wireless follow focus dummy' - proof. If i had one comment, it feels like the wheel is more designed for right hand. I wish the buttons and screen were somewhat ergonomically placed for when handheld shooting, but thats just me.

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.
