    We never had Internet at home must less wireless. When we went to Best Buy they helped us get started and on our way. I had to bring the first router back because of a defect in it ,but the second one is great. I'm very pleased with it.

    Everything but this Linksys router was sold out so I had no other choices for what I was looking for, but it turns out I didn't need any. Great product, priced right, and the install was super simple. If you need a router, you can't do much better than this one.

    it gets all of the features needed for a home secure network. Definitely the feature I love the most is the Guest Network which avoid third people access my internal network. With QoS the streaming experience has been enriched; allowing us enjoy flawless movies.

      Hi Robert,

      Adjusting the router's wireless channel could improve the wireless connection and range. Try channel 6, 9, 11, or 1, for the 2.4 GHz band. For the 5 GHz, try 161 or 157. You can actually tweak the channels and choose the one with the best result. Relocating the router and upgrading the firmware could also be of help. Check this link:

      Let us know how this goes. Email us at [email protected] along with your contact details, location, reviewer name, and the link to this review.

    I found this router to be a good product for one of my customers. It is fairly powerful and a good value for the features. Unfortunately, because of a completely different issue, the problem was not solved and I had to return it.

    I purchased this router because I needed a better signal in all parts of the house, and for more devices at once... given that all the family is more time inside in this times... And I was not disappointed. Not only did it deliver what the specifications promised, but the signal is so strong now, that we could get rid of a signal extension auxiliary router I needed with my previous product. I would recommend this Linksys - AC1200 without doubt.
