Bought this to load with the ExpressVPN firmware to make it easier to switch my home's location and secure my data. Works a treat. Was a bit of a pain to get into Malaysia, had to go through a customs process and an extra import payment which sucked

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;

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.

Bundling a VPN service with a customisable router appears to be a no-brainer as they both target the same audience and in this particular case, the WRT 1200AC and ExpressVPN make a great pair.

All-you-can-eat VPN; Ability to disable VPN per device

Tied to one VPN; Warranty is void when router is flashed

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

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.

After hours on the phone with Linksys support, we can not get the unit set up. It works - but I can't set it up with a router name; login; and password because the "smart" wifi set up won't allow me to get into manual mode.

Smartwifi set up won't work

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.

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...
