My old one went out, and this was the chance to get an even better one, without breaking the bank for features and capabilities a simple home user could never take advantage of.
The only thing I'm trying to figure out is how to keep my guests from getting kicked off the guest network after a time.
It was easy to set up.

Originally bought a Netgear modem and Netgear wifi router. The Netgear router could not connect with its own brother device. Got this Linksys AC1200 and so far it's handling 10 devices and I can see it 100ft away in the street when I in my car. Pretty impressive.

Too many disconnects

Have used this router for 60 days, but it is going back to the store. Has great range and speed when it works, but it has a habit of disconnecting frequently ( perhaps 5 or 6 times a day). I end up having to power down, wait a minute, and power up again. It also runs extremely hot, but I have it well ventilated. I'm switching back to my previous router. Perhaps I received a bad unit?

I bought this because trying to set-up a Netgear one was impossible. It had trouble connected but after 3 tries it worked. Delivers the speed I need for working and homeschooling kids.

I'm impressed with the range on the ac1200. I have it on the main floor but the signal is fairly strong on second floor too. I did add another router for upstairs with an Ethernet connection back to the modem. The strength was fine for computers but iPhones for some reason struggled with the distance on the second floor.

I got this based on its ease for setting up and because of the price. So far it's been great in an apartment, I'm not sure if the signal would have issues in a bigger space. The Smart WiFi online system is great for managing everything, it makes it easy to understand the different settings and adjust them accordingly.
