I have a lot of wireless devices in my household and I am always looking for better range and features from a Wireless Router.
We had trouble in the past reaching the furthest room and a repeater just did not work. This device changed all that the moment we connected it. Well worth the price.

I was in need of a router that has able to handle a gaming system and video streaming simultaneously. The AC1200 has provided the needed speed at the right price. The router also has the range needed in a large three story house. Very pleased with the Linksys AC1200 router.

With my families change from UVERSE to a new internet provider we were told that we needed to buy a router to help spread the internet within our house. After hearing this I went to BestBuy to buy a router, and honestly did not have much of an idea what kind or size of a router we should get. I was able to waive down a courteous helpful BestBuy employee, and was able to explain my home situation and my reason for needing to buy a router. I also told the associate that one of the things that I had a question about is the fact that my little cousin and I sometimes play games on XBOX Live, and I didnt want to have an issue in still being able to do this. The associate was very knowledgable on my situation and said that this router would fill my needs completely. Thus far since the purchase I think that for the most part the associate is correct, as outside of having to restart the internet router, I have not had any issues.

My goal was to increase the signal strength at my house. I was advised to split off from the provider provided wireless router modem and this product was recommended. The installation was beyond my skill level, which I knew going in so I have an expert come out and hook it up and make sure it was working. ONce it was completed, I went from 2 bars to 4 and have had no problems. This is a very good product and I am sure anyone with some technical experience would not have any difficulty with installation.

We just updated our router and it is fast and was easy to set up. Priced at $139 on sale for a dual ac1200 it was a great price. We love Linksys and was a no brainier to get another one as our last one was 11 years old when it finished working without rebooting every other day. Would definitely recommend

Good range and easy to configure. This router delivers a solid signal much stronger than my previous one. If your router is more than 3 years old, you really should replace it, and this is a reasonably priced mid-range option.

Love my new router. We moved into a 2 story, 3300 SF home and I was worried about the signal being strong enough throughout the house so I bought this new router. It works perfectly, it's very fast, and the signal is strong enough that I can still pick it up in my neighbors house. Thanks!

I highly recommend this Router very easy to setup a secure connection with. I am able to obtain speeds of 100+ mpbs with no issues. I am running over 15 WiFi connected devices and I have no issues.
Compared to some other models this Router has great venting to keep it cool.

I purchased this item about a month ago now on sale for $120. The 5 Ghz channel is great, in our 870 sq. foot apartment we get ~130 mbps download speeds on our computers and mobile devices when using wifi on the 5 Ghz bandwidth. The 2.5 Ghz bandwidth due to whatever, competition for bandwidth within the apartment complex or other factors seems to top out at 40 mbps download. This is frustrating since we pay for 100 mbps with Comcast Blast 100. Otherwise I've been pretty happy with it, I was able to price match with a sale after purchasing it to reduce the price from 120 to 90, we rarely need to reset the router (only once since purchasing), and it was really easy to set up. I feel like I got good value for my money but I'm not sure I'd buy this router again.

Hi, WillC,
We appreciate the time you've spent in posting this review, and we would like to help in resolving the challenge that you've encountered with the Linksys WRT1200AC router. We understand how you feel and we would like to make this right for you. To avoid possible interference for the 2.4 GHz frequency in your area, we recommend to adjust the channel. You may access the Linksys setup page and go to wireless tool to tweak some settings. Try channels 1, 6 and 11 for the 2.4 GHz network and observe how it goes. If this doesn't work, you may try to relocate the router and reflash the firmware manually. Should you need further assistance, reach out to us via email at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this post for reference. We would be more than willing to lend a hand.
Regards,
Linksys Support www.linksys.com

I needed to upgrade to handle more devices, but had no idea what I was looking at. Associate at the store explained the terminology and differences in technology. This router is great! Has no problem handling multiple phones, tablets, laptop and TV all at the same time. Without the help of the associate I would have bought something different and probably wouldn't have been as happy.

We purchased this wireless router less than two months ago. It was easy to set up and has a good range throughout our home in all rooms. We have not encountered any problems with this router's function to date.

Love this new router! Now i do not get bumped off wifi anymore (or certainly a GREAT deal less!) Wonderful support helped us set it up. Can get wifi in all rooms of our condo now too. We re-placed a much older linksys with this one. Cannot say enough good things about it! Very happy camper!

So i purchased a new router due to the fact I moved my computer to a different area in my house however the spot I moved to was a dead zone. I purchased a extender and it connected but still I had troubles with my connection. I went ahead and purchased this router and my connection was back and stronger than it was when I was using my original cable provided router. Not to mention how easy it was to set up the router.

I bought this router after my previous Linksys router went belly up. After some in-store comparison I decided in this model. Once I got it home and set up, I was very pleased. This router has guest access, parental control plus 2.4 and 5Ghz frequencies and more. Parental control can be very granular if you want, regarding times and blocked sites and is device specific. You can also control many settings via a free app on your smart phone from anywhere. The signal seems very strong, as I maintained wifi connection from the far-side of my neighbor's house across the street.
