Great Router , May 21st, 2013
Just installed this new router and could not be happier. I live in a house jammed with multiple wireless and wired electronics and the EA3500 gives 5 bars throughout the house. And I can't say enough about the super simple set up. Highly recommended.

Great Product, May 17th, 2013
This is virtually plug and play for any wireless device. It handles my network perfectly. I have 1 iMac, 1 PC laptop, Roku, Apple TV and a wireless printer and probably some I've missed. Easy install. Now I'm back up and running after having a Belkin nightmare router from hell. Increased internet speed is also very nice. I would recommend this to anyone.

Great Product (Cheaper than EA4500 but good value), March 15th, 2013
Bought this instead of the EA4500, but was surprised with the speed. My output and network speed has more then doubled. The setup was literally plug and play. My World of Warcraft latency has improved. No more lag! Didn't think that anything could replace my WRT54G, but alas, I have found the replacement. Waiting to see what the Cloud app has in store for us!

This is a great product!, March 5th, 2013
I decided to add my own router onto my home network and turn off the ISP's provided 2Wire wireless feature. So I ordered the EA3500. Things I noticed immediately: 1) My EA3500 provided a stronger more reliable signal over my entire home. 2) I use the EA3500 USB port with my WD MyBook drive to provide a central wireless backup point for my 2 PCs and laptop. Works great with speeds comparable to connecting it to each computer individually. The ability to establish shares is invaluable to segrating my backups among computers. 3) I also stream U-verse to one of my TVs through this router, and am driving a Roku media box wirelessly. 4) Setup was a breeze. I used the traditional interface, but will look into a cloud account. 5) Currently using EA2500 USB adapters at 5ghz on my 2 desktops instead of ethernet cable. These are connecting at 300 MBS (occasionally dropping to 270 MBPS for reasons unknown). 5) Not yet using the QOS (no need yet). 6) At this point, everything I have hooked up has worked flawlessly. 7) All in all a great upgrade from my old wireless. Highly recommended.

Great Premium Router, January 25th, 2013
I upgraded to Verizon FiOS this month and needed a dual-band N router that could keep up wirelessly with the fast speeds FiOS offers. Verizon's wireless router was only a single-band G router and wouldn't give me the full speeds. After purchasing this router, I get the same speeds I can expect wired in. I love this router and it's very easy to set up.

Easy-Affordable-Fast, November 30th, 2012
i bought this to replace my old Linksys router and i was surprised at how easy it was to set it up and how fast it works. Price was also a plus. Highly recommend this.

Flawless, November 30th, 2012
Downloads streaming movies to TV, complete internet services, runs as it should flawlessly. Do not even bother looking at another system this is it.

Stronger but..., November 30th, 2012
Like the improved signal strength, find it complicated to change the name of the "Guest" account. Very frustrating.

Replaced older LinkSys with new 3500 , November 30th, 2012
Upgraded my working WRT54G LinkSys router with the latest version 5300. It is faster, the installation was fast and easy and the help desk was very helpful in every aspect of my purchase. I will continue to advise friends and colleagues to use LinkSys products.
