    My last one would not run my desktop as a wireless utility after I upped my speed. My cable company told me I needed a stronger router and that they had one that I could rent from them increasing my bill by several dollars a month, that one still didn't do the job. I went to best Buy and purchased this one, which I was told was a lot more powerful that the one the cable company tried to pawn off on me. Unfortunately this one still won't power my desktop wirelessly but it is mine and I won't be paying for it forever.

    The Linksys router worked much better than the belkin model I had to return!! Also, the router was easier to set up and linking the computers was easy.

    My internet service was cutting in and out and eventually I couldn't use the internet at all. I believed my previous router "died". This was quick to install and solved all my problems!

    I was told I had to replace my Netgear wireless router because the signal was beginning to fail, as is common with radio equipment. Although I have been a longtime Linksys user, I can't say this one knocks my socks off. My husband still occasionally loses connection to our home network - the reach is inconsistent. And I had gotten used to little "screen" and slim lines on the Netgear. In contrast, this looks like a throw-back to old technology with its antennae. Plus my network was renamed by the router and I've not been able to determine how to get it back to what it was, causing me to reconfigure all the PCs to connect.

    This was a last minute purchase however, so far this router has been a purchase of great value to my family. We have had no problems with connectivity, it was extremely easy to set up and has been taking on a full workload ever since.

    Not as Good as Salesman Said

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Salesman understood my troubles with previous router and suggested this router, the Linksys - AC1200 Smart Wi-Fi Router. Not as good as he said. The router is the "newest" dual-band router that is supposed to be best for those with smart phones when the use of internet is used in the house by hose smart phones. However, this router is hooked up through my son's desk top. My wife and I struggle to stay connected to Wi-Fi, while using our smart phones, whenever he is watching or downloading videos, etc. (tis all on a one level house). Would not buy this product again, My older router (Linksys too) was better.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    We had to replace our router after having our other one for over 5 years. When I went to my local Best Buy store, an associate asked how could he help me and after explaining what happened to ours-the associate was extremely helpful in his knowledge and recommended this one. Since our house isn't real big-he said this one would do the job! It has and I appreciate the associate being helpful and not trying to sell me something that I didn't need. If you need a router- try this one...I think you'll be glad you did!

    This is one of the easiest wifi routers to setup can use to extend the router signal in remote areas. We have really enjoyed all the ones we have.
