Perfect For Spectrum Customers

This is my second purchase of this same item. Great range. Works great. Lightweight. Highly recommended. Saves $5/mo on my Spectrum bill. The bad: Router gets hot and shortens its life. You must buy a $5 desk fan that plugs into the router’s USB port to keep internal components cool and prolong router life. Also buy the square trade warranty for $3. Well worth the insurance. I learned the hard way from my first purchase. Get a fan!Read full review

Linksys EA6450

For the most part it does what it should. Hard-wired works as it should. Wi-Fi has “average” range on both 2.4 & 5G.

I was not able to get the USB port to work with a flash drive. The software says the flash drive is there, but I can’t figure out how to communicate with it. The user manual is poorly written on this subject.

There is something buggy about TCP uploading. After a computer reboot, the router won’t upload via TCP. If I factory reset the router, it will upload until the next time I reboot the computer. I don’t have this problem with other brands of routers.Read full review

A good value

I chose this router because of it's USB 3.0 port. This feature, along with the rest of the unit was easy to setup. Though I am a little disappointed by the file transfer speed, it does work as intended and the unit over all is a good value. If there was an easy way to make it a repeater I'd probably get more of them for my home network.Read full review

Good reception at a low price

This was purchased for a friend that wanted a "Nest" camera but didn't have a WiFi Router. His first choice was a Netgrear basic router he got locally but it had no external antennas and the range was limited. This Linksys replaced the Netgear and it works fine with the Nest camera. Reception range increased dramatically.Read full review

range not so great

easy setup, good speed (if your close enough) works great in rooms close to router, but if your a couple rooms away the signal drops to 3 bars and as most know--3 bars equals bad internet. and the antennas seem to be non-removable? so adding better antenna is a no go. also if you want to wall hang it, it has no holes in the back for doing so. this replaced a older linksys with no antennas and that one has better range???? bottom line--not worth over 40 bucks imo- netgear is my new go to-Read full review

Router works very well for surfing web, printing and roku. Documentation is poor.

I'm very happy with the router and I'd recommend it, if you are a bit of a do-it-yourselfer. All of our devices stay connected. It took a while to configure properly because the instructions basically don't exist and my one experience with tech support was a waste of a lot of time. We make minimal routing demands, but it works great for us.Read full review

Best OpenWrt Value Bar None

Hardware version V3 (and only V3) is OpenWrt compatible and comes with a very capable ipq4018 quad core processor, 128MB flash and 256MB memory. 5GHz wifi is blazing fast. Don't be fooled by the small number on the box and only two antennas. It doesn't look like an alien spaceship robot, but it sure performs like one!!Read full review

Adequate

Took longer to configure than I expected. The installation CD was in Arabic; no big deal, I downloaded an English version off the web. It did require a firmware upgrade during installation. The Smart WiFi setup was buggy. Runs smoothly after it was configured. Good speed and throughput, range (signal strength) is not the best but okay. Overall, I am satisfied with the product.Read full review

Great budget home router, but install OpenWRT on it

It has 5ghz band, it has 2.4ghz band, and it supports 802.11ac, aka Wifi 5. It's a great bargain, and best of all, as long as you get the v3 it supports OpenWRT, a custom firmware that lets you customize it to your hearts content and avoid Linksys' annoying software that nags you to make an online account just to change your router settings.Read full review
