    Netgear has always been a good brand and I really like this router. I would recommend this router to anyone that needs a new one. I set this up myself and it was easy. If you are replacing one let me give you a little advice and call your cable provider so they can take the old router off so the new want interfere with the new one. That happen to me but it's all resolved now.

    Very satisfied with the functioning of my NETGEAR AC1200 Router so far, only disappointment was the assumption that users want to attach everything with their smart phone. Had to do some searching online to find regular desktop PC installation instructions. Installation went well after the instructions were located. This is my second Best Buy Purchase of a Netgeat Router.

    My WiFi worked intermittently when I tried to use my laptop (downstairs) and the Geek Squad guys told me it was because I had an older router (upstairs where my desktop and printer are located) and the signal wasn't strong enough to pick up from upstairs to downstairs. They recommended this router (one of the more reasonably priced) and it works great! Seems so good to be able to use my laptop wherever I need to in the house.

    Not what I expected

    I replaced an N band router with this AC router. I use Roku and frequently my movies are interrupted to reload. We have 6 wireless devices and I thought that might be part of the problem. After installing the Netgear router, I had to move my Roku receiver so it would pick up the signal. Getting my wireless printer up and running again was another challenge that I worked on over a 2 day period before it finally found the network. All in all, I expected much better performance from the AC router and it has been a marginal improvement at best.

    Had this for a year now, and been pretty happy with it....It's been mostly solid and reliable with just a few little glitches and resets now and then which is saying something in this ever complex world of wireless devices. It's running two laptops, two phones, a media center, a PS4, and a wireless printer and for the most part all the devices seem to like each other on the stable network.

    The AC1200 Dual-Bank WiFi Router is a good router that displays a high-quality wireless speed of up to 1200 Mbps. The price for this quantity of speed is unparalleled. I have used this product with multiple devices at once, proving that there isn't a reduction in speed when too many applicants are on this specific router's network provider. Great product!
