    Where is the best way to get full balanced reviews of Routers?

    Hi, I think I made a mistake to base my Router purchase on CNET.com, which basically seems to rate on the ideal feature set, rather than how well they actually work/don't work in the real world. Conversely, I can look at amazon.com's 1 and 2 star review and scare myself out of buying any router...

    Linksys 1900ACS losing hard wired connection periodically

    Thanks. I will give it a try. I have also read some people saying there was an unfixed problem of Bottle-necking with this router? What is that exactly? Is it a known problem with this router? (I'm definitely beginning to regret just listening to CNET's recommendations for routers, which...

    Linksys 1900ACS losing hard wired connection periodically

    Hi all. I just bought the Linksys 1900ACS. In the last week I have had a wired computer and then my wired Sonos bridge lose internet connection. They get the connection back when I unplug the ethernet wire from the port and then plug it back in. Sounds like I got a bad router? I never had...

    Why can't my phones connect to Linksys hidden 5 Ghz networks?

    Hi, I just bought the Linksys 1900ACS. If the 5 Ghz network is not broadcasting (ie, it is hidden), then neither one of my Samsung phones (5s and 3s) are able to reconnect to the hidden network once I go out of range and then back into range. It always lists the network as being out of range...

    Does my connection switch automatically when using an Access Point?

    Hi L & LD, So in *theory* my device should know to switch to the stronger signal on its own? Is that the way they are traditionally programmed to function? Thanks! Juggernaut

    Can I use an "AC" Access Point with an "N" Router?

    Hi, Sorry for my ignorance, but your reply suggests to me that an AC Access Point is the same thing as an AC router - I thought that they were different things? Are all AC Access Points able to function as an AC router? Thanks! Juggernaut

    Can I use an "AC" Access Point with an "N" Router?

    Hi, I saw some prior posts about this from a few years ago, but I did not really follow the answers. I have an N router and I plan to set up an ethernet wired Access Point. Should I purchase an AC Access Point or an N Access Point, when I am using an N router? (I know that even an AC router...

    Does my connection switch automatically when using an Access Point?

    Hi, I am looking to buy an Access Point for my home wireless network because my AC router doesn't quite reach where I need it to reach. If I connect an ethernet wired Access Point to the router will my devices automatically know to switch to the Access Point when it has a stronger signal than...
