Needs Linksys support to properly optimize

I would give it 5 stars but found I need to contact Linksys support. My Wi-Fi was slow with only the default settings. The optimization was not intuitive or automatic. I had to spend 3 hours online with Linksys support to get the correct settings. I wouldn't have thought of it myself. My WiFi is now faster (about (50MB/s) from the max 100MB/s coming from the modem. I'm not sure if the WiFi login speed is likely to be cut in half, but by default I only have Got 2MB/s So 50MB/s out of 100MB/s is much better than 2MB/s Strangely enough when I connect using an ethernet cable (category 5e) the speed drops to 20MB/s. "I would have expected it to be even faster. Something is still a bit off. Have to contact Linksys support again to see if they can fix this problem. But I dare to spend another 3 hours on the internet. But on a positive note The rep I chatted with online was polite and patient throughout the ordeal No complaints My only regret is the time I had to spend trying to resolve the WiFi issue I would recommend when you have a problem and just get it back n want. Maybe take your time and Contact Linksys Support first decides there, then return.

Pros
  • Like everything so far
Cons
  • flimsy
