Review on Enhanced Home Connectivity: Linksys Tri-Band WiFi Router (Max-Stream AC2200 MU-MIMO Fast Wireless Router), black by Logan Goozmer

I've been building and overclocking my own PCs for over 20 years. I've networked my house, fished out the walls, installed and tinkered my own patch panels, etc. Routers and SHOULD be easy to install, setup and configure. Not with this junk. If you have ANY network (mine is on multizone wifi) that has something a step up, this thing is going to be a bear and a beast to install. Your Linksys web setup is seriously buggy and over-complicated. Internet connection is not supported. seemed to get into an infinite loop trying to get into the router and what should be a 5-10 minute setup, most of the time it took half an hour waiting for a few router reboots and no progress. I threw the overpriced brick back in the box, started the return process and reconnected my trusty but outdated 5+ year old router. He was still spinning circles around that junk because at least he could be pocketed and set up. The routers in the kernel should be easy to connect and configure. If it needs automatic firmware updates, FINE. Make it happen AFTER it's configured and at least added to the network. To call it garbage is to do a disservice to garbage, which may at least have some value. It's sad when you're happy to throw a 5-year-old router back into the mix because it works better and is more stable. An internet-based setup is dumb for a network device that basically makes connections and may need tweaking to fit into your network topography. On the bright side at least I realized early on that this is a POS and I won't have to deal with it in the future due to instability and connectivity issues. The only downside is that I may have to get another TP-Link for my parents setup as I wanted to install my old one for them after receiving this setup. Web settings should be avoided. They are unreliable and you should be able to simply set up a network device to add it to the topology and then add it to the network.
