There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After the first router began malfunctioning, Spectrum provided another new router. Unfortunately, that was a weaker model and we began experiencing issues there also.
That's when I decided to invest in a relatively inexpensive, yet superbly operating modem. After doing my homework and finding out that many review sites recommend the Linksys E8450 AX3200 WiFi 6 Router, especially for Spectrum, I purchased one - and it arrived the same day (talk about awesome).
Hookup was quite easy actually - but just to be safe, I also called Spectrum Tech Support to inquire if there was anything else I needed to do. They replied that unlike a modem, which requires certification on their end, routers are technically no big deal and one can use any router.
Setup was easy - after connecting the new Linksys E8450 AX3200 WiFi 6 Router to my modem, I then rebooted and reset the modem. After coming back on line, the modem easily saw and communicated with the Router. As part of the instructions, they also give you an address to type in your browser, which takes you to your router settings.
Now here is where it gets nice. The first time you go to this router settings page, you are asked to provide your own settings - meaning name of device and the password you wish to use. So what I did was to use the same ID and password that I had for my previous router so I would not have to redo all the devices I own that use my WiFi - it was a cinch! But you do have to use a combination of caps, small letters, numbers, and symbols for the password. If your previous passwords (that you'd still like to use) don't have this combo, you'll have to change them to meet the Linksys requirements. Of course, then you have to redo the login on all the devices you use to connect to your WiFi.
After connecting everything, everything worked superbly. My download speeds were fantastic (well, fantastic for me). I have the 500 Meg download service with Spectrum, yet with this Linksys E8450 AX3200 WiFi 6 Router, I am getting download speeds of 590 Megs per second and 25 Megs upload speeds - which is better than the service I'm paying for. Great job Linksys.
Now obviously, this is a new router, and all I can report upon is what I'm experiencing now. Will check back in within 6 months or so to add more comments if things change.
In closing, I tend to chuckle at those reviews where the reviewer states he/she had a hard time connecting, or setup was too complicated. That's because they are usually not literate when it comes to setting up anything with a computer - and it's not a Linksys issue. I'm no computer scientist, and everything connected perfectly and I had no issues.
Narrowed it down to the Asus AX-3000 and Linksys AX3200 , it is almost $40 cheaper compared to the ASUS and also has good range and higher gig support. 3200 compared to 3000.
Pros- compact with no antennas bulging yet the range is better than older Netgear R7000. ( whole house is being covered with 5ghz).
The speed i am getting over the air is almost 80% of my what my plan calls for, wired it might get 100% of advertised speed. ( over the air speed is always less than wired connection)
Very easy to connect to my spectrum provided modem, did over the air firmware update once i got into the router. ( was super easy from opening the package to connecting my devices, renaming SSID and security PW, enabling Guest network etc took in all about 10-12 mins)
So far about 18 devices are connected and have had no issues with dropped network, IP address clash, internet slowdown etc.
Browser interface is very simple like i remember back in 2005 linksys used to have. Nothing much has changed, its very basic with not much of hoopla.
Cons-
The guest network can be turned on but cannot change the SSID. (it is a subset of your router ssid with a dash and guest next to it. ( netgear n7000 gave you the option to name your guest ssid)
The guest network when connected using the setting of your phones, it takes you to browser PW login. Just like in the cafes and free WIFI commercial estblishment.
The BIGGEST DRAWBACK for me is Linksys app on ios, it does not support this router as yet as this is an E series router, hopefully will get support in future but CS wasn't sure when since this is fairly new router. ( hence only 4 stars which i will update when there is mobile app support to manage the wifi).
FINAL THOUGHTS -For the price and features available, it is worth the money, very simple but basic browser router configs. But it does an excellent job of connecting your devices either on 5ghz or 2.5 ghz with blazing fast speed and so far have not had any issues that i was experiencing with my older router.
