Product Description

Wireless-AC for Faster Speed and Reliability
Upgrade your wireless home network and enjoy significantly faster speeds than conventional wireless-N using the AC1750 Dual-Band Smart Wi-Fi Router from Linksys. Using wireless-AC technology, this router delivers speeds up to AC1750 Mbps (N450 + AC1300). Wireless-AC offers gigabit Wi-Fi speeds that allow video and music files to stream and sync more quickly, allowing you to stream Netflix content to your HDTV while family members simultaneously download movies on a separate device or play online games-without waiting for content to buffer. The AC1750 Smart Wi-Fi Router is outfitted with two USB ports and 4 gigabit ports that let you connect multiple devices, allowing you to quickly share, and store content across your network.

Beamforming Creates Stronger, Faster Connections
The Linksys AC1750 Smart Wi-Fi router features beamforming, an innovative technology that optimizes the wireless signal and strengthens communication between specific devices and the router. Beamforming enables the router to identify and connect directly with other devices, rather than simply sending out wireless signals in a general direction.

Manage Your Home Network Remotely with Linksys Smart Wi-Fi
With Linksys Smart Wi-Fi, you can remotely access and control your home network anytime, using your smartphone, tablet, or computer. For example, you can set parental controls to restrict Internet access during certain times of the day and create unique, secure Wi-Fi passwords for your guests. You can also monitor activity on your home network, add new devices, and check upload and download speeds.

What's in the Box Linksys AC1750 Dual-Band Smart Wi-Fi Router (EA6500), quick start guide, CD-ROM with documentation, Ethernet cable and power adapter.

Great bandwidth at 5GHZ at a value price (refurbished)

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this refurbished router to provide good 5GHz Wi-Fi to stream video to a smart TV at the far end of the house and to get 11AC capability for the future. I have V2 of the router that includes a USB 3.0 port for network attached storage. I have had the EA6500V2 for three days. I have a couple of apps on my android tablet that provide network signal strength and estimated bandwidth. Also, I ran some tests using streaming video to get a subjective feeling for what it would provide.

I was immediately impressed by the additional bandwidth in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It has replaced my EA4200 Wi-Fi router. The signal strength and max bandwidth went up everywhere in the house. The 5GHz signal strength at the smart TV at the far end of the house is still only 2 to 3 bars. It surprised me that the bandwidth provided is still more than double what the EA4200 was giving me. Streaming video from Youtube, Vimeo, etc. no longer halts because the download was not coming fast enough.

I did not use the provided install disk to setup the router. I do not like connecting my personal router to Linksys' cloud site. So I have skipped that part of the setup. I went through the setup menus using the router's web pages to configure Wi-Fi. I use a FIOS router for the wired section of the network. The router is behind the FIOS router's firewall on the same LAN segment (domain) as the FIOS router.

The router runs hot on the bottom. It needs to be mounted so that there is airflow over the bottom. I have used one of my wife's table top easel stands.

I loved the easy setup

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

I loved the easy setup, and the features and speed are excellent, but this was a replacement for a similar one that kept losing the internet connection and finally wouldn't connect at all. After a few weeks the new one started losing the connection regularly, so the company sent out a replacement. The new one is now doing the same thing. The only way to get the connection back is to unplug it so that it will reset. I have several connected devices that expect to have a wifi connection, so it is very annoying to have to reset the device multiple times a week, sometimes more than once per day. If I'm not home when it happens I am not able to connect remotely and any security devices that rely on wifi become useless. Since I am on the third one that has the same problem I can't recommend this device.

Great for a connected home

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

This router has been a life saver in our house. The old linksys we had limited wireless transfer at 10Mbps with multiple devices connected (both local network and internet). Now with this router we have no issues with transfer speeds (we pay for 30Mpbs internet, and are getting ~37Mpbs over wireless). Having 2.4 and 5 GHz has been great. We keep all the phones and any other device that will take it on the 5, with older devices running on 2.4. Also, we have frequently have guests visit the house who request the wireless password. Now with is wireless router I have set up a guest signal for them to use! What a great feature.

Also, our house is a 1,600 sq ft with 2 levels and a basement. The router is on the first floor, and I have had no issues connecting anywhere in the house, or even anywhere on our property. Also, we use many smart devices (Smart Things hub, Alexa, harmony hub, chromecast, etc.) who draw from the network and there have been no issues. The router was quick and easy to set up and has been maintenance free since installing it mid April 2016.

Excellent option for a small home network

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have a small home network that has anywhere from two to five active wireless devices at a time, two wired computers, one wired network storage device, and a USB storage device.

This router is perfect for my needs and hasn't given me any problems yet. Setup was simple and quick and the included interface works well. From unboxing the router to having every device up and running on the network took less than a half an hour. On a normal evening there will be HD video streaming over the wireless connection from one of the big three providers and a Steam Link simultaneously streaming from a wired host to a wireless client. So far this router hasn't given us any hiccups.

I can't comment on its performance under a heavier load, and the remote admin interface is functional but somewhat shallow. The basic stuff is easy - setting up QoS, routing rules, normal network management - but power users who need specific functionality may want to do their research first.
