Review on πŸ“Ά AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router with Touchlink and Beamforming - Enhanced Wi-Fi Speeds and More Reliable Connections for Home, Equipped with 4x5dBi High-Gain Antennas by Nathan Hutchinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The setting is risky, 2.4GHz works well and reliably, 5GHz is enabled but doesn't seem to suit my universe.

Setup is easy as many features are missing, but nothing I really need to replace my existing legacy router. I was able to connect and do most of the settings from my phone, but the settings weren't saved permanently and after I updated the SSID or initial IP address range I couldn't access it - I had to hard connect my Laptop. Even then, the WiFi settings had to be adjusted 3 times before they stayed. Performance was good last week, but even though the router says the 5GHz network is on, I can't see it on any devices, including the new Roku. So I'm basically stuck with the same speed and bandwidth limitations as my old router, but with a slightly stronger signal. More investigation is needed to determine if my devices are faulty or if 5GHz is just defective.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Hard to tell
