    Router was one of the easiest to setup of any of the routers I have used in the past. Signal strength is quite good throughout my whole house with no dead spots. Price is excellent, given the specs.

    Just put the router in - my router was dying. Very, very easy to set up. Was a great price. It is handling all devices that are connected to it so far (14 items). Like the new app that I downloaded.

    No problems installing Linksys AC1200. I have owned other Linksys routers before and had no issues with any of them. Decided to try this Linksys because of its features and besides it has a very unique look to it as compared to others on the market. Also it doesn't have a big foot print as compared to others.

    I bought this router to replace a very old Linksys WRT G router. Set up was quick (30 minutes max with getting everything connected). The range is great! I disabled the guest access since we don't need it and I can pick up our signal from the street! I like the router configurations and monitoring abilities.

    This dual band router (with my Charter Internet) is everything I hoped it would be. I can stream Netflix in HD wirelessly (2 Apple TVs - 1 older and 1 newer) without a problem. The range on this router is quite impressive as well. I don't game, but this router would be more than sufficient for gaming too.

    The setup was fast and easy. The performance is great and the range is much better than my former router. I can now work out on my deck on a nice day which was impossible before.

    My new router with eight gigabit ethernet ports!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this router last Tuesday. Immediately upon opening the shipping box, a label on the front of the router box caught my eye. It read, " 3-Year Warranty + 3-Year Tech Support $200 Value." Wow! I never heard of that before. Immediately upon examining the router, I noticed the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports on the back, Finally! I quickly tried to evaluate my need to determine which of my lucky devices would populate those port. Ultimately they were, one HP Stream running my Plex server, two Linksys media hubs, one Philips Blu-ray disc player, one LiftMaster my Q, one Tablo one Wii U U, and one for use in setting up PCs in my small office/home office business. I also populated both of the USB port with identical Iomega hard drives also used with my Plex server. For whatever reason, one port is USB 3.0 while the other remains USB 2.0. The only hiccup that I experienced was connecting to a Linksys Wireless‑AC USB Adapter, but once I upgraded the drivers to current, it connected worked fine.

    We needed an upgrade from our cheap 10 yr old Belkin. The associate was very helpful in finding me something that met my needs in my budget as I am not super router savy. Our home is about 2100 sq feet. We can connect anywhere in our home and the setup was very simple.

    Very good router and very reliable. But the instructions are not very useful. Wireless AC is not on by default so It took me 30 min trying to figure out how to turn on. Hint*disable IPv6 Other than that it's very good

    The router was pretty simple to set up and is meeting my needs very well. It even connected to my existing signal booster without any issues so my WiFi service in home is much more reliable than before.

    It works as expected. Ive always had great luck with Linksys networking equipment, so I figured I would go with them again. Other makers do not seem to have the longevity. This one seems decent. Nice easy setup. It feeds all of our devices. No complaints.

    This was a great replacement for my Airport Express. This new router not only improved our internet speed but freed up much of the congestion on my network, It is much faster transferring files over the network than plugging in a flash drive or external.

    The sale price of $100 made this router a good deal. It was easy to set up and it is easy to change settings on it via its computer interface. For example, turning WiFi bands on and off is simple in the very clear computer interface for the router.

    Still not good enough to cover my entire house. I'm using this for 3/4 of the house and still need another router for the rest. When in range, it works really well.

      Hi Portly,

      Your feedback for the Linksys WRT1200AC is truly appreciated. We understand you're having some challenge with the range. We suggest you place the router in the central location of your house, preferably in a higher position, to ensure that the signal is properly distributed throughout the area. It would also help if you specify the channel of the wireless network to either channel 1, 6, or 11.

      Let us know how it goes so we can further assist you. Feel free to email us at [email protected].
