Customers praise the RT-AC1200GE AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router, Gigabyte Port for its performance in smaller homes. However, some customers report experiencing difficulties achieving a strong Wi-Fi signal at greater distances from the router. The signal strength appears to decrease noticeably as the distance increases. This suggests the router's range may be a limiting factor for larger homes or those with thicker walls.

This ASUS router was easy to setup and works great. It has a dual band, 2 ghz and 5 ghz. I use the 5 ghz and it is fast and reliable. I downloaded the phone app which allowed me to update the router's firmware. I recommend this router!

I set up this router as an Access Point, the coverage is great. Setup was easy with both the ASUS app and through the IP address. Speed is consistent with my other ASUS router or slightly faster.

My client had a weak wireless signal in his back room, which he uses as a home office. He had a contractor run an Ethernet cable for his desktop computer, but needed better wireless for his phone and laptop. I bought the ASUS RT-AC1200GE, and configured it as a wireless access point. I'm tech savvy, but the setup was still easier than I expected. It is connected to his office Ethernet cable, and the desktop is plugged in to one of its 4 gigabit Ethernet ports. He now has a great wireless connection in his office. But he told me he's found the ASUS router also has a better signal, everywhere else, than his ISP-provided router - even when standing right next to it! He's very happy with this unit.
