FAST TRANSFER RATES FOR VIDEO STREAMING AND ONLINE GAMING


The AC1200 WiFi Router features dual wireless bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with data speeds up to N300 Mbps + AC867 Mbps*, great for media-intense applications such as video streaming and online gaming.


Four Fast Ethernet ports make it easy to connect devices directly to the router or share data on external storage devices. Plus, use the USB 2.0 port** to transfer files from a storage device or share a printer across your WiFi network.


BEAMFORMING TECHNOLOGY HELPS ELIMINATE DEAD SPOTS


Beamforming focuses the WiFi signal directly to your smartphones, tablets, and laptops instead of sending out a general transmission. The result is a more efficient network with a wider range.


When your device doesn't have to work as hard to receive data, it means not only greater efficiency for you, but also a longer battery life for your connected devices.


CUSTOMIZE AND MANAGE YOUR HOME WiFi ANYTIME, ANYWHERE


With the Linksys Smart WiFi App, you can closely monitor and manage your home WiFi remotely using a smartphone or tablet.


  • Guest Access: Create a separate, password-protected WiFi network for up to 50 guests and easily share the password

  • Parental Controls: Ensure a safe Internet experience for your kids -- even when you're away from home. Restrict access to inappropriate or distracting content, control usage, and block specific devices from accessing the Internet

  • Device Prioritization: You can prioritize devices that need the most speed

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good routerI bought this router at a great price. I only wish it had a gig a bit switch and not a 100mb switch. This router is lacking great Lan speed because it has wireless Ac but it has only a 100mb switch when it should have a gig a bit switch. If I had known this before I bought it I would not have bought it.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quite happy with this RouterI used to have a competitor brand that was not compatible with Windows 10. I went on the advice of a store clerk who said he used this router model in his apt and had no issues. I have used this now for 17 months and have had no issues. I can run a laptop, smart phone wi-fi (my son), a tablet and a Roku device (me) at the same time and all run with no throttling in a two bedroom flat.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from very satisfiedI bought this to replace an older Linksys wireless router to obtain a stronger broadband signal to another floor of my house for streaming to my TV. It provides a good strong signal and is very satisfactory. As with most computer related things, the setup is not really plug and play but Linksys customer assistance help was great.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from nullIn order to obtain a 5 star rating, the user must read all instructions before the set-up. It takes longer, but works as it should when done. Seems to have a strong hot spot, as my lap top picks up the signal from upstairs. I am very pleased with it.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great productI wasn't happy at first because my devices at home weren't capable of supporting 5ghz and I was having the same problem as the replacement modem. However, I was able to hard wire my TV and since then It's been a great product. I love being able to use the website to control the device. The app for my phone is cool to use.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy setup.I have had Linksys modens for about ten years and found them very reliable. I recently upgraded to a Linksys EA6100 and found it easy to install and configuration was a snap. It covers my 3,400 square foot house well and connects several wireless devices. Two phones, tablet and two streaming devices without interruption.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Linksys Performance...Outstanding!As a leader in the industry, I expected a great deal from this Wi-Fi router, and got it. Works great, is stable and I got it for a great price. Tech support was excellent as I needed to configure the router as an access point and wasn't sure exactly how to do that. It should be noted, that the 5GHZ band has a shorter range than the 2.4 band, because of the much higher operating frequency.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great little routerI have been using this for about two months. And it is being used in conjunction with another Linksys router. Once I got the two of them to play nice together, it has solved all the issues I was having with too many devices running on one wireless system. It was easy to setup and really easy to maintain. Love it!
