I bought this WRT1200AC for a small organization with 6 users. After 30 min on the phone with linksys tech support trying to get access to router, I hung up and went online for help. Setup was easy once connected to router. Works great after 1 week.

My AT&T modum signal strength was poor and access to the network kept dropping. I added this wireless router to boost the signal strength and now get 5 bars, 16.2 download, and have not been dropped since then. Highly recommend it if you have a similar problem.

Worked great except for one main thing. It refused to work with my Amazon FireTV. My old router was working fine, hooked up this one and FireTV would not connect, went back to old router and FireTV connected. Tried rebooting everything with no success. Taking it back.

Not worth the money.

Setup is easy

Poor wifi range

easy to set up and instructions easy to follow. works great!

The WRT1200AC is a cheaper version of the Linksys' flagship enthusiast router, the WRT1900ACS . Both are designed to provide the sort of reliability, tough design and customisation demanding users require but where the WRT1900ACS is a triple-stream AC1900 router, the WRT1200AC is only a dual-stream...

Decent speeds at close range; As many features as many top-end routers; Customisable with OpenWRT

Patchy long-range performance; Can get AC1900 routers for the same price; Large garish design

Linksys routers typically fall into one of two categories: the sleek and stylish models such as its E1700 or the comparatively garish but more fully-featured models such as the WRT1200AC.

In our tests, we put the Linksys WRT 1200 AC router against the Asus RT-AC68U. From the results, we can see that the Linksys WRT 1200 AC produced excellent some download speeds with very low ping times. However, it was still slightly edged out by the impressive Asus RT-AC68U.

Very good performance; Good download speeds on LAN; 2.4GHz and 5GHz; ExpressVPN built-in; Decent VPN speeds

The WRT1200AC ties with the NETGEAR R6220 at #2 rank out of seven AC1200 routers tested with the current procedure. But as the filtered and sorted Router Ranker screenshot below shows, at $180 , it's the most expensive by far.

So far, router working well. Easy to install and setup. It has good features to control Wifi and Wifi guest. Very easy to access all menus. One thing i'm not completely happy about is the range of the WiFi but i think this could be due to very thick walls in my house.
