Review: Ease of Installation for those that are clueless to network connectivity. - 25 years ago, I installed server systems, terminals, printers, and network routers. All that networking equipment had to be set up with laptops directly connected to the routers' ports. Nothing was autosensing. I enjoyed it, but I knew what I was doing. Fast forward to today. I had to replace my own 25-year-old router because new laptops would not connect to it due to upgraded security software. I thought, Oh boy. I bet this is going to be a trip. I had forgotten most of what I knew; besides, I knew nothing about this new stuff. I picked this TP-Link AC1200. It was inexpensive, but we didn't need anything robust since we are not gamers. First of all, I ordered it on desertcart at about 3 pm. 8:30 pm, a car backs into my driveway. They delivered the router in less than 6 hours. Incredible! Today I went to install it. I was expecting a bit of a hassle with configuring this thing. After physically connecting the two cables —the power cord and the network cable —I powered it on. I went to my PC. The TP-Link showed up in my available networks. I click on it. Put in the password supplied. Got connected, but I had no internet connectivity. Ahh! I had to disconnect a cable from my MAIN in-house router, then reconnect it so that the router ID would be discovered. I went back out to the shop, clicked on Safari (I have an Apple MacBook). Wala, I'm IN. I could NOT believe how easy the installation went. No glitches, smooth operation, and my network is all updated. I know how networking operates, but I am clueless about all the newer equipment since I've been out of the field for almost 15 years. So, even a stupid person like me can set up this equipment that used to take a lot of training 25 years ago. This inexpensive wireless router is absolutely outstanding. I usually do not write such long reviews, but I could not let this pass without adding my thoughts about the TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Router. I'm so glad these routers were not around when I was in the field. If they had been, my great-paying job would not have existed. Now that I am retired, I'm happy for them, so I can still dabble on the Internet.
Review: WIFI router. Works great. - It's running my WIFI right now. No issues here. It was easy to set up and super low cost. No issues, that's all I care about. If nobody is complaining about slow WIFI, then I'm happy. And they're not complaining.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why are you mixing reviews from the oder model**
A: This does allow more then one Device to be hooked to it works great

**Q: Es compatible con Verizon y uno mismo lo conecta ?**
A: Si

**Q: Is it worth ?**
A: There are two different models of this WiFi Router. I have the gigabit version which works very well for my primary use which is the TV and Roku. The signal is very good throughout my house and I can get a fair signal out in my garage which is a free standing building about 100 feet from the Router. I have a second Arris Surfboard Router for my cable supplied internet and Ooma Phone service and provides the signal to the AC1200.  The Arris is a 5G model and doesn't reach the garage as well as the AC1200 does.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WIFI router. Works great.
*by D***C on January 26, 2026*

It's running my WIFI right now. No issues here. It was easy to set up and super low cost. No issues, that's all I care about. If nobody is complaining about slow WIFI, then I'm happy. And they're not complaining.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed
*by T***C on December 10, 2025*

I was having issues with my work VPN blocking my internet when hooked to the T-Mobile router. I added this router to the T-Mobile 5G as an additional router. It gives me flexibility of what devices connect where. I saw many recommendations not to use both of them as routers, but did and it works perfectly. The coverage is excellent and fit nicely on top of a bookshelf along with the T-Mobile router. I love the ability to separate out my smart devices into a network dedicated solely to them, which the TP-Link is easily setup to do. I have a network setup for work on this router and generally use the T-Mobile router for anything other than the smart home devices.
