  • Very good performance, Good download speeds on LAN, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, ExpressVPN built-in, Decent VPN speeds
  • None that I can think of,
  • The aesthetics of the Linksys WRT 1200 AC router may not be to everyone's tastes, but if you're after an affordable, high performance AC router that supports ExpressVPN natively, then why not consider it.Due to the fact that the ExpressVPN account setting...

  • Easy setup, Good 5GHz performance and speedy USB file transfers in testing,
  • Large footprint, Weak performance on our 2.4GHz tests

  • Whether you're seeking a simple set and forget upgrade for the home network, or a power user that really likes to get to grips with all the features on offer, the Linksys WRT1200AC has much to offer. Like the old WRT54GL of yesteryear and the newer...

  • Abstract:  Sometimes, less is truly more. When it comes to the Linksys WRT1200AC, the little brother to the WRT1900AC router introduced last year , it might be best to say less is just enough. The 1200AC is a slimmed-down version of the 1900AC, with two fewer anten...

  • Supports non WDS bridging and repeating, Wowza! storage performance
  • Expensive, Smaller feature set than other topend routers
  • In all, the WRT1200AC deserves its #2 rank, and might even have edged into #1 had TP-LINK's Archer C5 been a true AC1200 class router. It's kind of ironic that Linksys had its own technique come back to bite them. The WRT1200AC is actually a pretty good r...

  • Obviously the RE6700 range extender is another fine example of Linksys’ philosophy of satisfying a mainstream user’s needs without taking their wallet to the cleaner’s. Actually getting these plug-and-play networking devices functioning in a user-friendly...

  • Allyoucaneat VPN, Ability to disable VPN per device
  • Tied to one VPN, Warranty is void when router is flashed
  • Bundling a VPN service with a customisable router appears to be a no-brainer as they both target the same audience and in this particular case, the WRT 1200AC and ExpressVPN make a great pair...

  • Comparisons are difficult especially as I have not reviewed an AC1200 before – I tend to go straight for the top!I think there is a place for the WRT especially as an open source router as it has few competitors.However, Linksys also make an AC1200 smart...
