We homeschool, plus my husband works from home a lot and I use my computer for my blog as well as my online store that I have. Not to mention all of the times the kids are on the computers playing games, watching movies and surfing the net. With that being said, we definitely needed a fast connection, and our currently router was just not cutting it. We tried upping our internet service to the highest possible speeds and we still had slow as a slug (I’m not even kidding) internet connection. It wasn’t until we got our WRT3200ACM MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router that we started to have high enough speeds to run everything we needed to run. And I must say that we were super surprised! Who would have thought that a router could improve the speeds of your internet?
The WRT3200ACM MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router is powered by Tri-Stream 160 technology, which doubles the bandwidth on all spatial streams for the fastest dual-band router on the market. Seriously, this thing is FAST!!! When we have guests over they are super impressed! I think we have surprised a lot of people when we’ve told them that it isn’t the internet provider, but it’s the router that is speeding up our internet connection.
The WRT even allows you to gain access to restricted channels at full bandwidth so that you can get the clearest Wi-Fi that isn’t available to most of the other routers in the area. I know, I sound a little excited, but I seriously am! We have never had a connection as fast as this and my husband and I have never been able to work from home while the kids play games and watch movies, without feeling like we are waiting an hour for a page to load! This is seriously a life saver for us!!!
The WRT3200ACM has a 1.8 GHz CPU for high-powered performance. It also has MU-MIMO technology so that you can have high-speed Wi-Fi on multiple devices at the same time without losing speeds—the same speed on all devices! It is open-source ready and has OpenWrt and DD-WRT® so that you have complete flexibility and can customize the functions. There is an upgraded Smart Wi-Fi app that allows you to manage and monitor your home Wi-Fi from your mobile device no matter where you are. The 256MB Flash and 512MB of RAM Memory is more than enough for our large family—we are very impressed with the space! I can’t forget to mention that this router has 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports as well!
My absolute favorite feature of this router is the speed. I just can’t get over how fast we connect and move from page to page. No more waiting for pages to load or computers to connect!
You can get your WRT3200ACM MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router at Best Buy!
This would make a great Christmas gift! I’m all about giving a gift that matters.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I have one of these, and I LOVE it. I thought our internet was fast before, but’s it’s like greased lightning now.
Jen Rattie says
That sounds like the bomb-diggity. Our current Wi-Fi stich isn’t exactly top notch. I need one of these in my life.
Tracey says
So I totally need this. I find that our internet can get really slow, especially if someone is on the computer and watching Netflix at the same time. This will be on my Christmas list!
Maryann D. says
WRT3200ACM MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router sounds terrific. We could all use our computer internet usage to be faster!
Pam Wattenbarger says
We have used a Linksys router before. It was a really good router, it worked well for years for us. I would buy one again!
Rach Ferrucci says
I love this! It has improved my internet and online life! No more worries who is doing what
Meagan says
A good wi-fi router can be so helpful. I am glad you found one you like.
Liz Mays says
This sounds like an amazing new router. It’s important to have reliably fast speeds when your whole family plays games and streams video.
Lisa Favre says
I am all about extra security and faster speed! This is something I have to show my husband.
Reesa Lewandowski says
This sounds like an awesome router! I need a new one!
Tonya says
Our internet gets really bogged down and we’ve talked about upgrading our router. I’ll keep this in mind so I can check it out.
Kiwi says
Linksys was the first router brand I ever got. I am so happy they are still around and faster internet!
Aziel Morte says
This one is what I need most! Glad you share this and I found it! 🙂
Toni | BoulderLocavore.com says
I’m thinking of buying a new WiFi router. This post is absolutely helpful!
Seattle Travel Blogger says
We should look into upgrading to this model or a model like this.
LinkSys is a good brand and we have used it before in the past.
Brianne says
We have one of these and I am obsessed. It truly is the fastest internet I’ve ever seen, and now I am so spoiled when I go other places and it is not as fast!
Sheena Tatum says
I’ve known for a while how good this router was! I only wish we had an interchangeable one but our company sucks in that aspect.
Joyce Brewer says
We are about to cut the cable cord and stream exclusively for TV. We may need this router. I work from home too and I’m always online.
Ann Bacciaglia says
My Son is a gamer and is always complaining about our router. I will have to share this with him. I think it would be exactly what he wants.
Kayla @ Kay's Adaptable Adventures says
I’m seriously going to have to look into this because our internet can be slow at times, too. Granted we just got a new modem/router combo and it’s been better but we still have our issues. It’s frustrating to say the least!
Ora Lee Gurr says
Thanks so much for this review. We live in a rural area and even the best internet stinks. The booster we got a few months ago helps, but we need dependable, fast service nearly 24/7. We’ll be in Reno this weekend and will check it out at Best Buy.
Ourfamilyworld says
Wow, nice to know about this. We also need a booster, very helpful review.
Rosey says
Hey, if it workds for fast speed, I’m definiely all in. Mine glitches all of the time and makes inernet time very ineresting.
Melissa @ The Staten Island Family says
We are desperate for a new router and this one seems to have all the bells and whistles that we need in a router considering all the streaming we do! And we need fast speed so I’m sold and going to get one of these this weekend! Thanks for the Intel!
Amanda Love says
I’ve been thinking about changing our router in the house. I’ve always trusted linksys! It’s an awesome brand!
Sara Zielinski says
This sounds like a great router
Laura says
This sounds great! I could definitely use faster internet speeds. Ours runs so slow!
shelly peterson says
This would be great to have. I could use some faster internet.
Julie Wood says
I like this router! It looks like it can really give a lot of good speed with all my computer needs.
