Pros & Cons

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

Pros

Wifi signal is excellent and linksys management app makes this the perfect choice for a home network, too. Great for gaming and streaming multiple devices. If you use express vpn, this is the router to use, even if it is not your main router.

A reboot takes. Vpn and vpn firewall can be installed from a sandbox.

Price is right for me. Great 2. Year warranty. Includes two way talk and all the goodies. Only quirk is the disc changer.



Cons

The linksys r7000 is not an express vpn compatible router. The performance is solid, wifi is fast, but it is just so frustratingly unreliable.

This thing is a complete pos. My time isn't worth debugging this. Returned and refunded.

    Note i would not suggest using linksys smart wifi for remote access unless you actually plan to use it
