Rated 5 out of 5 byjmanh2c from Amazing prioritization!I’ve only had this a week but the setup was really easy and quick. The setup steps are very simple to follow and the prioritization setting makes it easy to choose what devices get more speed. That way if you’re streaming a movie and it keeps loading because someone else is surfing the net you make your stresming device high priority and no more loading. There is one device , out of 13, that refuses to go to high priority but it’s in normal priority and gets plenty of speed. So far it’s the funnest router I’ve had but I’m a techy. live in a two story 5 bedroom 2 car garage house and I get great signal everywhere in the house even out in my car.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMrBob007 from One Week ReviewPurchased through Best Buy. Router is performing well. Install was simple and straightforward. Connect wireless printer through wps was no problem. Router is built well. Router runs cooler than most. Good sized heat sinks with 1.8 dual core CPU is great. Hopefully router will last quite awhile with the large heatsinks, powerful cpu and running cooler than most. router software interface is quick and responsive. wireless coverage is very good. Very good throughput with iPhone, iPad, printers, desktop windows workstations as well as iMac. All are through wireless access. Previous linksys wireless routers always were hot to the touch and usually never lasted a year. Last time I owned a linksys was 5 years ago. The quality of this router and features convinced me to try one more time. Aesthetics of router is very modern and sharp looking. So far I am very pleased with this router. I will update this review if I can in 3 months.

Rated 5 out of 5 byDavenavie from Amazing FeaturesThe Linksys WRT3200ACM features a super 1.8GHz dual-core processor, tri-band AC3200 wireless, 802.11ac/n/a 2.4Ghz/5GHz antennas with MU-MIMO beamforming capability, four high-powered antennas, five gigabit Ethernet ports (4 LAN, 1 Internet), one USB 3.0 port, and one USB 2.0/eSATA port for setting up external storage or adding onboard media servers. Feature packed familiar, nostalgic design. Performance is good for use in average size home up to around 2000 sq. feet. The WRT3200ACM has all the standard options you’d expect, including dynamic DNS, port forwarding and parental controls. With parental controls, you can set schedules for when certain devices can use the internet, and you can also block access to specific websites.Overall I’m pleased with the routers performance and truly appreciate the retro design.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySean from JunkI bought this two months ago thinking that my old router was having trouble with bandwidth for streaming and gaming. Apparently, that was not the case. This device does not out perform my 5 year old router. Also, for some reason it does not accept a connection from my Roku. After some trouble shooting, it is the 32X that has the problem. Worst of all I cannot find the MAC addresses for the connected devices, only their IP address. For network administration, who thought that would be a good idea? Last, the router has started overheating and dropping the connection. In the past I have always gone with Linksys because they had high quality products and admin functions were intuitive. I will be looking at another company from now on.

Rated 5 out of 5 byshad295 from Great Gaming RouterI got this router about 3 weeks ago, didn't think I'd notice any improvement since I already have what I thought was a massive and the best router by Linksys. However I was wrong, 25% reduction in ping. Game prioritization is true to its word. I run about 20+ devices on wireless and my gaming was improved with this particular router. I'm having trouble deciding what I'm going to do with my old router because this is definitely my new setup. The router itself is an attractive piece, with the option to have function lights on or off. A+++ on the low latency and fast speed as well as coverage. I'm in about a 2800sq ft space and get 2 to 3 bars at the farthest reach of my house, granted I've centralized its location as best as possible. Whether or not you're a gamer this is definitely the most up to date router money can buy with the expectation of definite performance. Setup is easy and functionality is incredible.

Rated 5 out of 5 byCraig from Lots of powerI've been using the WRT32X for just over a week. I've noticed faster wireless speeds compared to my previous router when multiple devices are accessing it simultaneously (multiple desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, a file server, and a game console.) I've also noticed a higher level of stability than my previous router. I have not yet needed to reboot the router. I would have needed to reboot my previous router 2 to 3 times during this same period. I also like the new dashboard with this router over the dashboard for my last router. It is much more user-friendly and seems to be more stable than the previous dashboard.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJazzyhue from Beautiful design. Great software.Before even opening the box you see the quality and craftmanship that went into this router. A fliptop magnectically sealled box reveals a really beautuful router. All pieces are packed tightly in simi hard foam. Easy to put together. Easy to manage software, with incredible speeds. No lag with two devices hard lined and 4 wifi all gamming at the same time.

Rated 5 out of 5 bydestruktun from Great speed!This works great for gaming; I no longer get connection errors when playing my favorite MMORPG. and it not only works great for gaming, but also works great for streaming. There is a consistent speed increase between this router and another branded router I replaced. I used to get errors when trying to stream from inside my local network and this has resolved that; I can now stream 1080p video wirelessly over my networks with no lag, buffering, etc. The only issue that I've found is that DNS doesn't seem to work very well on my local network; there could be a solution to this that I haven't researched yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 byandre31 from Oh wow, this router is awesome!I use this router to reach the clubhouse out by the pool so my family and I can stream movies, and the range is incredible and the signal stays strong. I also play games out there on my laptop and never experience any lag. Super easy to set up, never fails, and lightning fast speeds.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJoel from WRT32XI have been using this router for about a month. One of the best routers I have used except we have to reboot the router once or twice a day because it will drop the WIFI. No problems with wired connections. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 byITEngineerAZ from Awesome performance!This WiFi router outperforms every other router that I have owned by far. The throughput to my wireless devices is higher and at a stronger signal strength at the same distance than my previous AC hardware. The footprint of the router is shorter and more compact overall than previous Linksys models I have owned. The setup was straightforward and easy. It also has real-time throughput on the main page, which is a very nice feature. I would definitely recommend this model to my friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJim43 from Great performance and qualityThis router arrived two weeks ago during a very busy time. Therefore I am especially grateful for the ease with which it integrated into my home network. I replaced another router and while the nominal performance is comparable, the ability to prioritize users is priceless. The result is a leap in virtual performance. I see increased download speeds and reduced ping times that are remarkable. The dashboard is informative and intuitive making necessary information readily available. I am not a real-time gamer but stream from and to a variety of devices including high-capacity NAS, 4K UHD TVs, network radios and a variety of home automation devices. I was able to move all of my devices to the new router without problems.All-in-all the router has been a welcome addition to my network and I look forward to enjoying the enhancements. Gamer or not I can sincerely recommend this router for any home or small business network.

Rated 5 out of 5 byjacuff from Great Gaming Focused RouterI have been using this router for about a week now. For gaming, I noticed a slight improvement in lag when I assigned my main computer and gaming consoles a high priority in the gaming engine. However, gaming is not all I need my router to do. A more featured port forwarding like what is found on the WRT1900ACS or WRT3200ACM is something I also require but was not found on the stock WRT32X firmware. That is really the only reason I have docked it down to 4 stars instead of 5. The ease of setup was actually pretty easy, but I would have liked to be able to load a configuration file from one of the other routers mentioned above to retain the DHCP reservations that had already been setup. Having to manually enter them in for 60+ devices was no fun.If the two items I mentioned above are not important to you, then I highly recommend this router. It's full of features otherwise and has been really solid the past week.
