I live in a smaller home and had not been getting the speeds I pay for, 200mbps, as it was an older router not using the most current technology. Got this AC1200 and immediately am getting the speeds. It has enough range to reach my whole home.

I bought this router after my Linksys E1200 got fried. Very easy to setup. And it works like a dream. All my devices can access it at one, without any slow down. I will always go with Linksys as long as they keep making quality products

Works much better than my old all in one modem from my ISP. Easy to set up, and I like the app for management. I was even able to use the app to set up a static IP and set up port forwarding for my PS4.

This router was easy to set up. It is working amazingly in my home where we have many people who use the Internet at the same time. I have not had an issue at all. And when I bought it, it was on sale for a great price.

The folks at Bestbuy pointed me to this router and now I know why. super easy set-up with a strong steady signal through my entire house. I bought this to upgrade from the router supplied by my cable provider.

Highly recommend this powerful little router. We needed a quick solution until our business networking was complete and this fit the bill. Setup was a breeze and can be done with a mobile device.

This router was recommended by the Best Buy associate after I purchased the wrong product earlier that day. It was easy to setup and reasonably priced. It seems to be working just fine.

Thick walls? Still getting a full signal to all my devices. If you have this then I have a good tip; first let me say that I did get a weak signal but still fast regardless although did get a few disconnects but I was in the kitchen while my router was in my room. What I did to extend the signal was point one antenna horizontally (this one points to where the kitchen is at) while the other remains vertical and eureka! The signal is full while I use say my phone or tablet in the kitchen, no disconnects either.

Setting up the router took a few minutes and had all of my devices up on the network instantly. My speeds are now so much faster than my last router!

Awesome router. Got it because the Comcast modem router wouldn't reach the other side of the apartment. Also allows a ton of customizing to settings and super easy to use.

The instructions had three easy instructions without allot of reading. Simple is best. This was an upgrade for me and I can tell the difference in the speed of my wi fi.

Easy to install, easy to use. At first, it didn't synched with my router because of the updates, but after that, it's great. I have no problems connecting 4 devices.

excellent router just got internet only this one works. I have two of these now.
I have a home in Eagle Nest, NM and purchased two NETGEAR routers which wouldn't work with their modem before purchasing the linksyss 1200 which worked. Came to my stepfathers home here in St. Louis, Mo. to help him and wanted internet because he had none. I bought at BEST BUY A NETGEAR 1200 router and guess what? It would not work with the companys modem either, went back purchased this Linksyss 1200.
bought it back and it worked perfectly with the system. I love it.!
I love it! can't say enough about this router.

The acid test is streaming HDX movies and games. This router can deliver the data stream. Two HDX movies at once over a two hr time frame, a video game going on at the same time and this router did not miss a beat. In this price range you cannot go wrong. Way to go Linksys !!

I really can't stand this router! I have to constantly re-boot it in order for it to be picked up by any computer/laptop in the house. When it is connected, it works pretty well but it is so frustrating to constantly try to go to the internet and get "not connected" messages...then have to go and re-boot the router. I have to re-boot it at least once a day...not exaggerating! Seriously, for the cost, I would have expected a much better product. Going back to Netgear!
