Review on 🔗 Enhanced Control and Connectivity: Linksys AC1750 Wi-Fi Wireless Dual-Band+ Gigabit Router (EA6500) by Robert Oner

Standard is uncertain. Not safe by default. It's been a while since I set it up, but I think it was something like this: the default is to connect to Linksys and give them your password so you can access your router from anywhere through them. I don't recommend you to do it that way. What if someone hacks Linksys and gets your password? What to do if you made a mistake in the router settings or for some reason you cannot access the Internet to check the password? You cannot login and repair/change the settings. So if you get a router, don't connect it to the internet at all. Connect it to your computer and change its settings from there. The default local IP address is 192.168.1.1. Do not connect it to a modem or the Internet until it is set up the way you want it so that you can access it locally without going to the Linksys website. You may need to reset the 'Reset' button if you do this wrong. Notes: You can set up an OpenDNS family shield on it. You can backup its settings. 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router's LAN IP address is) -> Troubleshoot -> Diagnostics -> Router Denial -> Backup - I'll stop before turning this review into a How - Cons/Issues: IPv6 works here (wired/wifi), but when I brought it to my AT&T home network, IPv6 over wifi didn't work, however IPv6 over ethernet still worked. (note: the vast majority of the internet is still using IPv4 anyway) MAC filter devices cannot be named, javascript must be enabled to view the configuration pages (and one goes to the Linksys website) annoying animation on the configuration pages when switched on again, MAC address filtering will default back to 'deny' instead of going back to what it was before [otherwise turn it off for a while, then turn it back on, then only those who don't want to can turn on access the network will be able to access the network.] If you're confused on the web page of your connection settings, you won't be able to access your router's settings to fix the problem, even if you're still on the Routers with the mess access can make settings locally. (I forgot what it was) Guest access is not encrypted You cannot disable ads in the top right corner of the router settings External storage is only sent unencrypted Cannot use USB on a hub to print on Linux Access router settings via https works not or no longer despite testing (did it work at some point?) - Additional information: The maximum password length is one character shorter than it should be. :) Set the router to nnn.nnn.nnn.1 and the DHCP server to start IP address nnn.nnn.nnn.2 so you have 253 devices instead of 50.
