Dual-band wireless router (router) with support for Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ac standards, four external antennas for extended coverage and five Fast Ethernet ports. It is positioned as an affordable mid-range model with good functionality. Designed for use in an apartment / house or small office. Thanks to the modern hardware platform, the router is able to provide a consistently high data transfer rate simultaneously in two frequency bands.

According to the manufacturer, when using the 5 GHz band (802.11ac standard), the connection bandwidth can reach 867 Mbps, in the 2.4 GHz band (802.11b/g/n standard) speeds up to 300 Mbps are provided. Due to the coordinated operation of the four antennas, an extensive zone of stable coverage is formed in both bands. These parameters are quite enough for watching high-quality streaming video of high and ultra-high resolution, network gaming, cloud services, transferring large files and other tasks that require working with a dense traffic flow. To organize a cable network infrastructure, the Asus RT-AC1200 router has one WAN and four LAN ports capable of providing a bandwidth of up to 100 Mbps. There is one USB 2.0 port for connecting drives and printers. The router supports firewall, NAT, DHCP, FTP, file or print server functions. Works correctly with VPN traffic.

Video reviews

Sales of network equipment bring Asus a solid profit. Taiwanese brand products have firmly established themselves in all walks of life in wireless router society. Take, for example, the RT-AC1200, an affordable networking solution for the home with consistently high data transfer speeds.

Coverage

The appearance of the device can hardly be called original. However, in terms of design, the model also does not graze the rear ones. It is made more recognizable among colleagues in the workshop by the “diamond” pattern on the top panel. The “horns” of four antennas protrude from the router case. Two of them are responsible for communication in the 2.4 GHz band, and a couple more for signal transmission at a less "noisy" frequency of 5 GHz. Movable hinges at the base of the antennas allow you to flexibly adjust the coverage area without unnecessary hassle.

Full compliance

When exchanging large files at a frequency of 2.4 GHz in the line of sight of the router, the transfer speed is confidently kept close to the claimed 300 Mbps. In the 5 GHz band, users have the right to count on a transmission rate of the order of 700-800 Mbps from passport 867s. If there are obstacles in the path of signal propagation (for example, two thin walls), the speed sags by about a third. But when connecting clients by wire, the speed is limited by the bandwidth limit of the WAN and LAN ports (4 pcs.), Which is 100 Mbps.

Features

Providing a consistently high data exchange rate, the capabilities of the router are quite enough for watching streaming video in ultra-high resolution 4K, network gaming, and cloud services. The device also works correctly with VPN traffic, supports firewall, DHCP and FTP server functions. To connect drives and printers, the model has a USB 2.0 port. Finally, a separate “Parental Control” tab in the router settings menu allows you to configure Internet access by time and prohibit visiting certain sites by domain or age limit.
