I did have difficulty with set up. I was unable to get a internet signal out of the modem (Hitron brand) and to the Linksys router. The set up instructions have you connect your cables then unplug power to the cable modem to reset the connection. They have you connect the internet cat5 cable from modem to Linksys before doing this restart. The trick with spectrum is you don't connect the cat 5 cable during restart of the modem. Since I had already tried many times to set this up I had to start clean. I reset the Linksys to factory spec with the reset button then left the cat 5 cable disconnected during set up until the modem had restarted. and that was it. Both Linksys and spectrum support had me convinced that I could not use this router and modem combination. I usually don't give up easy so I kept calling back till I got the right person which was a tech at spectrum.
I have left my channel selection on auto and have not had any disconnection troubles.
I have no 6E devices so these results are from my 2.4 and 5ghz devices. In the room that the routers are located in I get nice download speeds 650-800 mbps. At the furthest distances I still get very usable internet. I get aprox 200 mbps in my garage and office which are at the furthest ends. So far 1 month I have not had any issues to complain about. I have all the typical stuff connected plus I use internet for all my music and TV streaming. I have not had to restart the router. I like that there is a guest network option. The control panel is easy to set everything you want.
Installation was another matter. You're supposed to use their app. I tried that and it failed. The app told me to try again. I did, several times with minor variations, and got the same result. I called the support phone number and it rang, and rang, and rang... I gave up and tried the chat option. I got a tech on the line in just a minute or two. I got worried when he told me to try the app again - but when it failed he told me there was another way to set it up. This was all controlled by pushing the reset button in strange ways and it worked. It took, overall, about two hours to get it done because the tech had other folks on his chat and sometimes I didn't do the strange things correctly.
It was a bit of a struggle but it's working just fine.
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023
This is an example of what a company will do if they are among the first to deploy a new technology. They will charge multiple times more than it cost to make because they can. Now that every new router coming out supports 6e you will see Linksys finally start to drop prices fast to match because they are no longer unique. Anyhow. 6ghz can't go through any walls and the distance is pitiful so if you have a Wifi 6 router. Just wait for Wifi 7 before doing an upgrade. 6e is definitely not worth it.
