The Linksys AC1200 is an easy modem to setup, extremely fast, and flexible enough to customize to my situation using the ISP modem as DHCP server and this one as an extension.

Good range, never really have to reset. Used it for 3 months now, no problems. If you want something that you don't want to hassle with, this is a great choice. Best bang for your buck.

With my rented xfinity router, I had to use wifi extenders to cover my house. Items would drop off line. Did not have these problems with this router. It's signal easily covers my whole house.

I was looking to buy one of the top, most powerful routers. Sales rep suggested this one for me. I live by myself and am the only user. No lags. No drops. Perfect for streaming and Xbox Live.

Works good when hard wired in but WiFi signal is low and slow and I'm only 10ft away and no walls to go thought. My cable modem router combo is on the other side of the house and goes thought 5 walls and has better signal.

I've purchased top of the line home Wireless Routers before, but this one was a step or two down on price-point, but more than a couple steps up regarding performance. Pleasantly Surprised!

I needed to purchase a router for my daughter's apartment. It had to be strong enough for multiple devices over two floors. The sales associate recommended this router and it is working great.

Item was used as secondary router extender. Took lengthy conversation with customer service to get it tweaked to function but provides strong signal in two level residence.

I upgraded my wireless at the recommendation of a sales associate and now I am experiencing constant drops from the internet. I work from home a lot and this has impacted my productivity. My old and slower wireless never dropped.

Not the most sexy product to review. I'm no tech wizard. But it does it's job. Online you have access to all it's features. Even I figured it all out. So it should be a breeze for you.

Router is as advertised, app to use it works fairly well once set up. Only problem I experienced was getting it to pair with my new modem but a software update cured it.
