Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The linksys configuration software and ui is really intuitive and highly functional. It's easy to setup and install, it's fast and it has a very powerful processor. The only negative is that it took a 5 or 10 minutes to set up, because it takes a minu... Read More

Simple design, good directions and economical. Can be placed anywhere without any inconvenience.

Small and compact in size, equipped with 4 ethernet cables and 2 wifi antennas. Ghz and 5. Ghz bands have different names (even though you can change it of course). Ethernet.

Cons

It operates with a black box cesspool of potential bugs, security flaws, and backdoors with no way to audit the firmware or repair it. First off the ui is slow af, takes refresh after refresh to get the menus to draw. Other times it's alexa.

Wi-fi connection drops multiple times a day. This router maxes out at 100/100mbps. All of the ethernet ports are limited to 100 down 10 up.

After running for a week or two, my networked devices stop connecting to it. Had to hardware reset it and start the config process all over. Unplugged/replugged, tried resetting again - nothing, it appears dead.
