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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible super slow router

Pros: Great user interface with lots of features to customize. The QoS setting is particularly great. Cons: 1. Only having 100Mbps WAN and LAN ports which means your giga fiber internet connection or anything wider than 100M will not be fully utilized by this router. I have a 300Mbps Opti-Fiber Verizon FiOS connection. On this router, it only achieves 70 Mbps on a wired connection and 15-50 Mbps on a 5G wireless connection. IT IS TERRIBLE! 2. RAM is very small (64MB). When watching Youtube, RAM usage reaches 80% on average, which means that handling heavy traffic or multiple devices (using multiple roommates at the same time, etc.) is almost impossible with this tiny memory chip.3. It's not cheap at all. In the $50 price range, it doesn't support gigabyte WAN and LAN ports, are you kidding? The 100Mbit WAN port makes the AC1200's "capabilities" a laughingstock. Conclusion: Avoid this toy router if possible.

Pros
  • Handy thing
