"This is an expensive but excellent router. Solves the issues with the old modem/router not coping with a large number of network devices. This is a router only so requires a separate modem.
UPERCHARGED WORK AND PLAY WITH NEXT-GEN AC WI-FI ROUTER
Designed as a dual-purpose home office and entertainment Wi-Fi router, the MAX-STREAM AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router (EA9500) delivers Wi-Fi to multiple users on multiple devices at the same time and same speed.
Featuring MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology, this Next-Gen AC Router treats your devices--PCs, Smart TVs, streaming devices, smartphones--as if each has its own dedicated router. Working in your home office, you'll enjoy lag-free videoconferencing and fast file transfer, even while the rest of the family is streaming 4K or HD media in the living room.
ROOM-TO-ROOM WI-FI WITH SEAMLESS ROAMING
The MAX-STREAM AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router (EA9500) offers Seamless Roaming as you move around your home when linked with a MAX-STREAM Range Extender. With Seamless Roaming, your enabled wireless devices will automatically switch to the strongest Wi-Fi signal, so you won't have to manually connect to the router or range extender when you move from one room to another--or even to your garden.** This means that you can move freely throughout your home while video chatting or streaming videos without experiencing dropped calls or buffering.
Pair a MAX-STREAM range extender such as the RE7000 with the AC5400 for more efficient home Wi-Fi that delivers stronger, more powerful Wi-Fi signal to all your devices.
POWERFUL PROCESSOR FOR SUPERCHARGED WI-FI
If you're working in your home office, you can quickly download large files thanks to the MAX-STREAM's 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, which delivers the performance necessary for seamless videoconferencing and fast file transfer. The AC5400 is capable of handling multiple high-speed data streams at once--delivering faster Wi-Fi speeds to more devices.
ADVANCED SECURITY FEATURES FOR A SECURE CONNECTION
With the MAX-STREAM AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router (EA9500), your work files, data, and home network information are safely connected with WPA/WPA2 encryption and an SPI firewall.
SMOOTH 4K VIDEO STREAMING WITH BLAZING-FAST WI-FI SPEEDS
The MAX-STREAM AC5400 offers three independent Wi-Fi bands that deliver extremely fast combined speeds of up to 5.3 Gbps.* Tri-Band technology delivers up to double the Wireless-AC performance of a dual-band router. High-bandwidth applications like videoconferencing and movie streaming are ideal for the two high-speed 5 GHz bands, while lower-bandwidth devices like older wireless-N and -G computers can utilize the 2.4 GHz band.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANTENNAS FOR MAXIMUM COVERAGE
The router features eight adjustable external antennas, which can be positioned for optimal performance. They provide powerful streams of data to your devices, ensuring complete Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. Unlike the two or three data streams found on other routers, the AC5400 delivers four simultaneous streams per band for stronger, faster performance.
IMPROVED MOBILE SPEED AND RANGE WITH BEAMFORMING
Play video games, listen to music, check email, shop, stream movies, and more--without having to worry about signal drop-off. Beamforming technology directs Wi-Fi signals to each of your mobile devices. This focused direction provides increased signal strength and coverage.
CUSTOMIZE AND MANAGE YOUR HOME WI-FI ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
With the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi App, you can closely monitor and manage your home Wi-Fi remotely using a smartphone or tablet.
- Guest Access: Create a separate, password-protected Wi-Fi network for up to 50 guests and easily share the password. - Parental Controls: Ensure a safe Internet experience for your kids -- even when you're away from home. Restrict access to inappropriate or distracting content, control usage, and block specific devices from accessing the Internet. - Device Prioritization: You can prioritize devices that need the most speed.

According to broad speed test, the download speed over 5GHz is 40% faster than 2.4GHz (not much difference on upload). I bought it to upgrade an old Linksys WRT 1200AC router and this EA9500 router makes a great improvement on both speed and coverage.
The things I like:
- Easy to set up but it took a bit longer time than my old WRT1200AC router
- High speed for multiple users
- Great coverage
- Stable and consistent
- Great connection capability 8 LAN Ports
The things I don't like:
- Fixed antenna which can not be upgraded
- Old hardware version which missing WiFi Schedule feature (my old Linksys WRT1200AC has this feature which setting WiFi turning on and turning off time)
- No Open-WRT, DD-WRT Support

An overkill replacement to our ISP provided router. But we're a big family of multiple devices.
This thing didn't break a sweat with 20 devices connected to it. Which is a godsend, as I'm the usual guy who fixes the wifi connection at home.
2.4 ghz was the same but so far no breaking connections.
5 ghz band manage to pass through walls, sometimes giving me ethernet speeds just on wifi.An overkill replacement to our ISP provided router. But we're a big family of multiple devices.

This is an expensive but excellent router. Solves the issues with the old modem/router not coping with a large number of network devices. This is a router only so requires a separate modem.
After a bit of initial settling in (requiring reboots) this router readily copes with 4x TVs streaming up to 4K video, Blu Ray players, wireless receiver, wireless WiFi speakers, multiple computers, laptops, tablets as well as phones and guests devices.
The Linksys app provides an excellent remote interface.This is an expensive but excellent router. Solves the issues with the old modem/router not coping with a large number of network devices. This is a router only so requires a separate modem.

My 4th or 5th Cisco/Linkysys router device purchase. Now replacing another brand. Definitely the highest speed performance router we've experienced. Also the most automated and easiest to set up for multiple devices.My 4th or 5th Cisco/Linkysys router device purchase. Now replacing another brand.

Pros:
-Great signal coverage
-Great transfers speeds
-Deals with multiple clients without loosing performance
-Great for gaming / streaming 1080p/4k
-8 LAN ports
Cons:
-Some connectivity issues over the 2.4GHz range.
-Big, ugly, bulky, takes a lot of space
-Everything about the routing functions really sucks, needs a new firmware ASAP (not supported for dd-wrt firmware).
Conclusion:
Best used in bridge mode connected to a "real hardware router" or PFsense box. For the price tag should be a good all in one AP/routing home solution like the ASUS RT-AC68U in the dual-band category. If you already have a network infrastructure... View MorePros:

If you already have a network infrastructure and just need a good radio go for it! If you want a complete all in one home network solution wait until Linsys provides a descent firmware or for dd-wrt firmware support.
