Review on Linksys EA6200 AC900 Wi-Fi Wireless Dual-Band+ Router with Smart Wi-Fi App & Remote Network Control by Brian Quenzer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Did you send me the best model? Relax!

Before I continue I ordered a Linksys AC900 and they sent me a Linksys AC1200. My friend ordered the same (AC900) and also received AC1200. So I'm not sure what happened, but I'm definitely happy about it! The Linksys AC1200 is a great router for my apartment. I have a one story apartment/apartment and this router connects multiple devices with no speed or connectivity issues (I have an Xfinity with 50Mbps download speed). The Linksys app is great for managing passwords, devices, and some additional management tools. It is very convenient to log into the application, get the password and send it to the guest in an SMS. In addition, I can control all devices connected to the router at any time and block or prioritize any device to increase bandwidth to three devices over any other device. I connect about 6 or more devices at the same time (2 iPhones, Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, laptop, baby monitor, etc.) and they all work great. Our baby monitor camera only works with a 2.4GHz connection, but this router allows you to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz with separate passwords and guest passwords. The only issue I've encountered is that I'm experiencing poor connectivity and rubber bands over the wireless connection when playing Rocket League on my laptop or Nintendo Switch. I don't think this router supports some games that require a strong connection. However, as soon as I connect my laptop or Nintendo Switch via an Ethernet cable, the router handles the connection very well! I think it's expected to use a wired connection for online gaming anyway, so it doesn't detract from my experience with this router. I hope when you order this router you get an AC1200 instead!
