    This router is easy to set up and use. I had no problems getting it to work with my devices. It has very fast wifi including 5Ghz. The range could be a little better though.

    I bought this wireless router because the one that the cable company gave me was not strong enough for my 3000 square-foot home. This router covers almost all of my house with almost full strength.

    Reliable and solid Wifi 5 router for a small home or office. Easy setup and the app is very user friendly. I give it 4 stars because of it's WiFi range. I would only recommend this router for a small living area with no more than 2 rooms or a single office. In my relatives large home, the signal significantly drops off when you are just 2 rooms away. The office area where the router is located we get a solid 300+ Mbps but once you head over to the living room area on the other side of the home it drops down to about 30 Mbps. I have owned two of these for over a year now and neither has failed to function. Again, I would only recommend this router for a small area 900 maybe 1200 square feet. Walls will significantly impact your WiFi signal strength. Not recommend for advanced users, this is more of a beginner router.

    I had a silly gateway that kept crapping out and giving me nothing but issues, so I did some researching and decided to go the way it was meant to be, with a modem, and a router. This router has been up 100% of the time since I purchased it and has not given me the slightest bit of issues. It's a nice addition that you can add a usb jump drive, or external drive to the router and access the pictures, etc by any devices connected. It definitely delivers the speed, and broadcasts 2.4 and 5 simultaneously. That is a major plus. Highly recommended

    Appears to be a quality product. Straight forward to set-up and working as advertised. Refreshing, actually, to have something work as marketed on the box. Switched from D-link and not looking back.

    Replaced older Linksys ea2500. Was going to go with another, but this router has a great reputation and the price was extremely good. It was pretty easy to set-up and works well. No range issues.

    I used Netgear C-300 modem-router 2 in 1 before, and my comcast plan was 150Mbps. The C-300 was only able to reach around 10Mbps download speed, which was really bad. So I decided to try out a new wifi modem. I sort by price and get this dual band modem, bring it home and surprisingly get exactly 150Mbps download speed at 5GHz channel. 2.4GHz gives around 100Mbps, which is also good enough. Both networks are very stable, and playing/streaming game had never been interrupted/disconnected. Distance was good enough for me. My router was placed on the 1st floor, and I am able to receive full signal at 2nd floor in all rooms. The entire yard is also covered by the signal.

    So being a network admin for a living I had been using some of Cisco Meraki's equipment in the home environment mostly as testing it for my job but enjoying it. I started way back with the first little black and blue Linksys pre-cisco and loved it. I decided to stop testing in the home due to the hassle and went looking for an affordable no brainer setup. While this router does it's job it lacks advanced firewall options and getting it to static IP's by MAC address can be kinda tricky it's still very very reliable. I've not had any problems with the numerous devices I use wired and wireless. Well worth the money.

    The range at 5Ghz is better than my previous N router on 2.4ghz ( older Apple AirPort Extreme with N WiFi which didn't have 5Ghz ) Of course 2.4ghz range in this router is even better than the 5GHz connection, but you get a slower speed( real world usage 80-90Mbps which is great, but slower than my old router even ), but since the range is great at 5Ghz, I connect to the 5Ghz for anything that is compatible ( most devices these days ) and get at least the 220 Mbps that my internet speed is providing ( and should easily go faster, I just haven’t calculated speed on local network ) Web interface is easy to work with.

    I needed a more powerful router for my network. Having two channels including the 5ghz was a god send to fix my brother connectivity issues on his Xbox One. Great range and really easy to set up.

    I have always gone with "the best" router available. Well, recently my wrt3200acm suffered from water damage and I needed a cheap router to get by for a while. I picked this one up and I am definitely impressed with it. It reaches as far as the more expensive ones that I've used before and it doesn't require rebooting nearly as much. The signal is just as good as other routers.

    I purchased this Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router to serve as my 3rd local router. I have my main router in the center of the house, then a Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router at each end of the house. I have full 100% coverage in my home and outside. The Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router provides great speed (up to 134mbps). Never had a connection problem or any other issue. I love the dual band option.

    Needed to get a router fast for a family member, got this one and the setup was easy, it auto detected the cable companies internet right away. After that, updated the firmware. Reception is great and even though is dual band only, its more than what my family member requires. Setup her network on the 5ghz one for less interference and so far, no problems at all, gets strong signal on her apartment all the way!
