Great features for the price
on June 10, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The AC1000 wifi dual band router is inexpensive, but has great features for the price. Supporting 2.4 and 5 gigahertz wifi (with excellent range), the unit is quite easy to setup, as well. It is simple enough to plug it in, connect a cable to the internet, and connect your computer to the wifi. Open your browser, change the wifi names and passwords as needed, and you are done. The firewall portion is much better than I thought it would be for this price (about $50 list price US). It's easy enough to get back into the unit to change advanced settings, if necessary. I also set it up as a wifi access point, and that was trivial to do as well. Linksys has a long history of creating decent wifi routers, and this is another testament to the features and quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

An excellent Router with somewhat limited range
on June 10, 2019
Posted by: SidPLit
from Albuquerque, NM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this router as a gift. I have used it for a week or so and like it very much. I did use it in place of my Linksys Max-Stream AC1750 router.
The AC 1000 is a fast and easy set up router and took only a few minutes to get it up and running. I have 3 laptops, 1 desktop and 2 Kindle Fires and 1 internet capable TV that I run in my house off of the WiFi Router. The TV is the furthest from the Router at approximately 50 feet. I was not able to get access to internet movies on my TV from the AC100 which I can on my AC1750. My small laptop located near the TV was functional but it ran at a little slower pace. Those within the range of the AC1000 worked fast and it was hard to tell the difference between the old router and the AC1000.
I would recommend the AC1000 to anyone who would not require distances greater than 30 to 40 feet.
For those computers within the range this is fast and reliable router and an excellent buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the small size compaed to my previous router. It was easy to setup. It solved my buffering issues when I had multiple devices running.

Nice footprint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed with the size of this product, and it's small footprint. I streamed Netflix and Hulu and surfed the web. I really like the speed of the product, and I didn't see any lag in the speed at all. I previously had a EA8300 and it works very well. The AC1000 is a great product for a small apartment or house. The range is good, and there is no signal loss. I would recommend this product to anyone on a budget the price is just right.

Simple and Effective
on June 13, 2019
Posted by: BelAirDad
from Bel Air, MD, United States
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this router as a test product to review.
The set-up and installation was so simple. Plug it in into an existing router and away you go.
There were only two slight issues that I had to work around.
I couldn't find on my laptop the 5 Ghz network ID, but this might've been due to the age of the laptop.
Also, until I could actually disable the existing cable modem (Verizon FiOS), the two routers conflicted with each other.

Disappointed
on June 15, 2019
Posted by: gutt2000
from Franklinton, La
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was given the AC1000 for review and found it to be inferior to my AC5400. Does not have strength of the 5400. Signal strength would diminish within a few feet of my home.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its great to give you ac wifi when your older modem didn't have it. Would have given it 5 stars but I need a little faster speed. I have too many devices using wifi
