Review on πŸ”₯ Enhance your Wi-Fi Experience with WAVLINK High Power Wireless Router AC1200 Dual Band - Reliable Gigabit Internet for Long Range Coverage by Mike Walters

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good 5G Wi-Fi at a low price - but you get what you pay for with other features

Do you need a new Wi-Fi router and the price (and high rating of 4.5 stars) highlight this device. Also, my spouse wanted a router that wasn't black. I was a little annoyed that the router forced me to set a 10-digit WiFi password (the previous password was 9 digits). This forced me to re-enter the new password on all my linked devices. I had to reset my router 5 times for it to properly connect to my cable modem. Once it started working it's pretty good. But we are only on the second day of use. I will update my review in a few weeks. Other issues: The wired Ethernet ports on the router do not work at 100 Mbps. I contacted Wavlink support via email but they couldn't find a solution. My guess is that they just used inferior hardware for the router part. My ISP has a speed of 400 Mbps. I saw 200Mbps on the 5G WiFi part but not more than 50Mbps on the LAN side.

Pros
  • Broadly compatible router
Cons
  • Not sure
