Linksys EA6100 Dual Band Wireless Ac1200 Smart WiFi Router

Good Router with A Couple Minor Complaints

This is a good router if you're looking for a AC1200 class router. The Linksys configuration page takes a bit of getting used to if you are used to using the old style flat configurations. I jumped from a 10 year old router to this and it was a bit of a shock. It works well though.

My only complaint was due to the fact this was a refurbished router that was obviously used in Toronto Canada previously. The issue is that all my android devices, when connected to the router, locate themselves in Toronto. This isn't the router's fault, it has to do with Google using a know MAC being tied to a physical location. I hold out hope that at some point Google will re-locate this but for now I have to not use WiFi for location.

Overall, a good product and a good supplier. Arrived exactly as described in excellent condition.Read full review

Wifi connectivity.....NOPE!!!!!! Wired....works perfectly!!!!!!!!! Electronic / computer experts only please!!!!!!!

Received this brand new in the package. For the life of me I couldn't not set up the wifi. Worked on it for a couple days and gave up. If you want to hook it up to a wired connection (a smart tv) it works great but I cannot comment on the wifi setup. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE WIFI PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT SETUP EASY!!!!!!!! I even searched it out on YOUTUBE on how to set it up and still it wouldn't work the way they said. I would say only buying this if your a I.T. specialist. If your a run of the mill computer worker steer clear.Read full review

Linksys EA6100

This wireless router seems to be working good so far. Time will tell since only had it about 3wks. Took a few to get set up but I'm no computer whiz either. Hence the 4 stars. Signal to my cell and roku seem decent. I even get some signal outside now which I didn't have before! The other reason for 4 stars is because the lights are in the back...which is fine if all is wrking. If something stops it's gona be hard to see what's out without moving it out to see! Overall for the price it's a good unit and wld buy again....Read full review

Top-notch home router that won't break the bank

Intuitive software interface with the added capability of remote control (i.e. you can edit your network settings from your smart phone or a coffee shop). Build quality is quite stable, and its sleek appearance means it can blend in with other electronics or rest quietly on the wall. Dual-band signal is strong. Firmware lets you set parental controls or prioritize up to three devices. You can also permanently assign DCHP addresses for those more tech-savvy folks that want to run servers at home.

This router replaced my legendary Linksys WRT54G and does an even better job. I rarely need to restart it. Would recommend to anyone looking for a router with modern networking capabilities that has fewer than 8 antennae.Read full review

Easy setup!!

Very easy set up! as soon as i got it i plugged it in and connected to it through a laptop set my name that i wanted my connection to be and set a password and done! my daughter connected to it with her desktop she said that the signal is stronger than its ever been! and so did my wife! we have 4 laptops 3 desktops and 3 cellphones and a tablet and they all connected flawlessly. I used the interface to see who was connected to the router which was cool and it had parental security features as well. love the router! Good job Linksys! Read full review

easy to set up, strong signal, no crashes

I bought the the Linksys ac1200 on a gamble, and it paid off. The auto installation was easy, with no glitches. The signal strength was much stronger than I expected, and, to test it, I set it up alongside my old Linksys WRT54g (which has extended antennas). I measured their respective signal strengths on my laptop with "Arcylic Wifi Home" software, moving my laptop around the house, outdoors, and even into a neighboring house. The ac1200 5ghz ac band was equal in strength to the g band on the WRT54g, which was a surprise since people frequently complain about the limited range of the 5ghz ac band. On top of that, the ac1200 n band was substantially stronger than the g band on the WRT54g. I also tested the ac1200's signal strength along side a comparable Edimax 5ghz ac router, and the ac1200 was slightly stronger. I now have the edimax on the second floor as an access point wired into the ac1200. I've had this system running for a month, with maybe 15 wifi devices, and have experienced no conflicts or crashes.Read full review

Very easy setup!

I bought this router to replace an older model Linksys that died after many years of use. This one is super easy to set up and manage. Really glad I picked this model - it works flawlessly. You can honestly 'set it and forget it'. Linksys also has great customer service if you need it. Read full review
