Review on πŸ” ASUS RT-AC1200_V2 WiFi Router: Dual Band for Gaming & Streaming, Easy Setup, Parental Control by Scott Ward

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Won't connect

I thought the price was too good to be true and unfortunately I was absolutely right. After initial setup, I had a nice stable time of around 30 minutes where it ran relatively well at 90Mbps with no noticeable issues. However, at the end of that period, the router started resetting my devices and then got "stuck" with no internet until I reset the settings. After that initial crash it could only keep the connection for about 1-2 minutes and then kept crashing until I fixed it. I've tried various fixes to bring it back to life including factory reset, firmware update. etc., but none of them seem to have had any impact. I ended up returning mine as its incredibly patchy connection was too low a standard for a modern Wi-Fi setup in my apartment. Don't skimp like I did and buy a slightly more expensive router setup β€” it saves you the headache of having to deal with that mess for just a few bucks.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
