Review on πŸ”₯ High-Speed Linksys AC2600 4 x 4 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Gigabit Router with USB 3.0 and eSATA (EA8500) by Trey Michaels

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good distance but tends to lose signal

I had mixed feelings about this modem. For one, it has a strong signal, and even though it's in a basement underground, I can still pick up a signal 200 feet away. On the other hand, this modem keeps dropping off two of my devices for no reason (I've done everything, believe me, it seems to be hardware related to the router itself). If I replace this router with my old Cisco, the devices stay connected. If these two devices didn't have this problem getting a signal from the AC2600 I would give them 5 stars. 08/04/20107: Downgraded to 1 star now. The lock no longer works. In response to the suggestion, I call customer service, went there, did it and set up the modem manually according to customer service instructions. But it didn't fix the missed signals. We also found out why we had such high data usage on our phones. Our phones failed to connect to Wi-Fi and switched to the tower's LTE signal, so smoothly we didn't notice. Back to using my Cisco and all devices are connected to WiFi signal. Big disappointment for the price.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Useless features
