Very happy with this product. With my other router my internet would cut out quite a bit and with this router my internet never cuts out.

My old router finally died and I moved to a new place that was smaller so this works great for my needs.

Good for gaming, especially since I set my Xbox to the 5ghz spectrum, separate from the rest of the household. Good product for a good price.

It does the job, but my Netgear one is way better for less money. Would not buy another one.

Excellent router for WIFI connectivity! We use it all the time for mobile phones accessing internet so it cuts down on mobile data use.

The router is fine if you have it on the same floor in your house with your computers etc. We live in a Town home with 4 floors and found that we needed a much more powerful router so that I could use the computer anywhere including my yard, the basement, and the loft. If you buy this, make sure you test it in your particular home layout to see if it will meet your needs. It did not meet ours and we returned it.

It was really good at first but I had a really hard time getting the speeds I was paying for on the on the 2.5 GHz band. Only pushing out up to 10mps which I needed more to stream on an older roku and tablet That cannot connect on the 5 GHz band. Other than that worked fast and was getting 80mps on the faster band

Hi Jcards,
You can tweak the wireless channel of the router to avoid possible interference in your network. The preferred wireless channels for the 2.4 GHz band are 1, 6, and 11 since they’re considered non-overlapping channels. If the connection will not improve, please get in touch with us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review.
Regards,

Hi, Rdoz,
Supposedly, setting up the WRT1200AC is made easy using the Smart Setup Wizard which is embedded in the firmware and is available even if the router does not have an Internet connection. No worries, we'll share your experience with our Support Team. Should you have questions or clarifications, shoot us an email at [email protected], anytime.
