With Wireless AC technology and an 1.3 Ghz dual-core CPU, the Linksys WRT1200AC Wireless AC Router delivers strong, speedy Wi-Fi coverage for your home. It can reach up to 1200Mbps wireless speed (867Mbps AC + 300Mbps N).

And for advanced users who want to customize their firmware, the WRT1200AC stays true to its lineage by offering an OpenWRT compatible firmware with open source-ready capabilities that allow advanced users to expand the capabilities of the router.

We also added a unique dual eSATA/USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 port to the WRT1200AC to conveniently connect an array of devices and experience lightning-fast transfer speeds.

To provide strong, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home, the WRT1200AC is equipped with two external adjustable antennas that ensure your Wi-Fi signal is always at maximum strength, keeping everyone simultaneously gaming, downloading, and streaming without lag.

Simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless bands create a strong, reliable Wi-Fi signal with fewer dead zones, even in multistory homes. The antennas can be detached for future upgrades.

To keep unauthorized users from accessing your data, the WRT1200AC offers Wi-Fi Protected Setup along with WPA2 encryption and an SPI firewall for maximum network security. Parental controls enable you to restrict Internet access for younger users.
