Insecure default

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 andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Access and optimize your home network from anywhere via a mobile app or browser.
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Great router with lots of extra features

Just received the router (Linksys 1750, EA6500, V2) These are my first impressions. Very easy installation - I've never seen one so easy. It took maybe 1 minute to walk through the facility. We connect the router, go to lynksissmartwifi.com (local to the router) and follow the instructions. The speed in the same room for the 2.4 GHz channel was 40-50 MB/s. Now 55-60mb/s. Interestingly, the speed hasn't increased on the second floor - it's still between 25MB/s and 30MB/s. That's why I bought itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A growing number of Smart Wi-Fi apps offer improved home network management
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

A lot of pluses, but one big minus!

The AC1750 is a good entry-level 802.11AC dual-band router (2.4GHz and 5GHz). As I was looking at the purchase, there were a few things that stood out to me the most. Range, speed, easy setup and dual-band performance. So I'll try to cover everyone in the review. Range - I installed the router on the top shelf on the first floor of my home, which is about 3300 feet. I get a 2.4 GHz signal (3 levels) throughout the house. and good in the back and front gardens. That's the good part and betterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup: Simple installation requires no CD
Cons
  • Long wait
