Our verdict

A straightforward modern WiFi router for a small to mid-size home that wants parental controls and wired ports. It is a single router, not a mesh, so very large or multi-story homes may need more.

Overview

Linksys built this compact router on the newer WiFi standard for homes juggling phones, streaming boxes, consoles and smart speakers. Browser-based setup walks you through it, and parental controls limit screen time on kids' devices.

Newer WiFi speed, four wired ports and easy parental controls cover what most households need. As a single router, coverage stops at its rated area without adding extenders.

Who it's for

Families and apartment dwellers with a mix of streaming, gaming and smart home devices get faster WiFi and kid controls. Big houses with dead zones should look at a mesh system.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Real throughput depends on device WiFi support and distance, since the faster band trades range for speed. Choosing the right band per device, range or performance, governs how stable each connection feels.
