Asus Wireless AC1200 Waste of Money

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

This product is garbage. it is limited to 10/100 port which means that you cannot achieve internet connection. This router is limited to 90 mbps while it advertises 867 mbps. I wasted hours on the phone with tech support. On the 5th caller they finally told me it was limited at 90 mbps which is not limited in the product information provided in the box, but can be found hidden on their internet site.

Yes you can have VPN set up on this Router.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

I wanted a router that would support a VPN Client. I checked with Asus BEFORE ordering this router to make certain that I could set up a VPN on this router, thus protecting everything connected to it. I was told by a tech that indeed a VPN could be set up. I was happy with the performance, but could not find a way to configure a VPN. This was disappointing since I had checked with tech support in advance. I checked with my VPN provider, and they informed me that I could set this up manually at my own risk. I looked over the info on their site, but I just couldn't quite get the manual configuration to work. I looked over the Asus support documents concerning manually configuring the WAN for PPTP connection. The documentation was enough to clarify things for me and I was indeed able to set up my VPN Client on the router itself. This is a really nice router for the price. I wanted the 5G, but it was always about being able to have a VPN supported on the router. My previous DSL Modem/Router didn't support VPN. I still use my DSL high speed Modem, but have disabled the WIFI on it, and use the RT-AC1200 router with it's dual bands for my wired and wireless network. I had also tried a refurbished Asus router that had VPN supported in the GUI, it was a snap to set up, but was unstable after the first day, dropping connections, and requireing constant rebooting. I am returning that unit. Meanwhile, the RT-AC1200 is working great. It could use a bit more detailed documentation, but the information is available on the Asus website, and through tech support. I have set up a few networks in my time, but am no expert. With a bit of perseverance, you can have VPN supported on this router.
Update 3/2019
My VPN dropped PPTP and my router would not connect. This was not the fault of the router. I changed to another protocol and my VPN works fine now.
Update
My original router is working great and I have a second one of these to set up a VPN for a friend of mine. This is a great router and a good value.

First, I would like to share with you my experience with the router. I know that people have different experiences with products and it looks like not everyone's experience with this router has been positive; I would like to speculate about the negative reviews and why some are having a negative experience.

I've had the router for about a week. I got it at Micro Center for $65 with a $10 mail in rebate. I couldn't believe finding a 1200AC router to finally make use of my 100 Mb/s down 20 Mb/s up internet. I was using the modem/router combo that comcast gave me. It would barely ever go over 50/10. I decided to inspect all the settings. They had disabled anything useful on the modem that would even allow me to troubleshoot or make a difference; basically, the modem is locked down suit the way comcast would like it to be. I called them up and they ran through diagnostics with me (basically 2 hours just to restart it a few times) and they decided to send me a new one. Same s***. I knew it was their fault, so I decided to grab this router for a steal.

After some simple configuration, I get 90-100 down and 15-20 up when plugged in. Pretty good. I could not believe the wireless though.... You can see it in the attached picture. This is wireless. You can choose to believe me or not. I put the wireless sys tray icon in the screen shot. I am currently sitting one floor up and about 20 horizontal feet from the router. In my experience, I am sitting at much more distance than desired, but with this router, it doesn't seem to matter. Also take note that this is on the 2.4GHz band. Side note: for those of you thinking 5GHz band should be better, faster, etc just because it is a bigger number and newer technology... it is rarely the case. The 5GHz band will be phenomenal if you are within eye shot of the router. You might be able to get away with one thin wall. For all other cases, the 2.4GHz band will be better. If you would like a better explanation, you can read all about it with a quick google search.

Now, for those that have not had so a great experience. Here are some potential reasons.

Your modem is not in bridged mode: If you have a modem router combo from your ISP, you should put it in bridged mode. The bridge will disable all routing functions on the modem so that the router can properly govern them. If you simply plug this router into your modem, then you have multiple layers and things are not going to work as intended. If you do not know how to do this yourself, call your ISP and tell them that you have decided to buy your own router and ask them to please put the modem in bridged mode. After you do that, power off both devices, power on the modem. Wait till you see the "online" light, then power on the router.

Right out of the box, your router should be set to default settings, but you may want to reset to default settings anyway. If you have messed with any settings and cannot get good results out of it, try to reset to default settings.

Once you set to default, try to upgrade the firmware. I personally have not upgraded the firmware because it is working so well. If I told to an obnoxious know it all tech geek, he would tell me I'm an idiot, but if it isn't broke, don't try to fix it. I have a career in IT myself, and I know that you can always take steps to make things work more efficiently, and firmware is definitely one of them. I will upgrade the firmware, but right now I am enjoying some of the best internet I have ever had.

*** For those that have had issues with the firmware, you may want to try again. ASUS admits that their last series of firmware for this router messed things up more than it helped. They release a new version literally today, right before I started this review. You can download it here: [...]
Channel Bandwidth (can be found under Advanced settings > Wireless > General tab): I would recommend leaving this at 20/40. The router should operate at the most appropriate channel, but it doesn't always get it right. If you are having wireless problems, try switching it to 20MHz. If you have a lot of other networks broadcasting around you and they are trying to use 40MHz as well, you are going to have lots of interference issues. The 20MHz channel is more refined and less affected by other signals in the air.

QoS settings (located under traffic manager > QoS tab): This should be disabled by default. You may have been looking through the settings, read the description for QoS, and thought to yourself, "Wow that sounds very desirable!" QoS settings are tricky. If you enable this, your speed test is going to be crap. That is because the router is saving bandwidth for other things. If you are interested in learning more about QoS, there is a terrific guide here: [...] Personally, I would recommend leaving it off. I might turn it on if I had many people in the house all using bandwidth in unique ways. If you decide to use this setting, instead of letting ASUS "smart QoS" govern your bandwidth, I would recommend choosing the dropdown, choosing user defined QoS rules. Take note that if you do a web based speed test, your speed test will only be as fast as what you set it to.

Other than this, I can't think of any reason you would be having a bad experience with this router. I know that it is always hard to troubleshoot if any issue is with the router or the modem, but your issues could be something to do with the modem. Call your ISP and tell them about your woes. The router could even be restarting because of incorrect modem settings.

Make sure all the antennas on the router are properly connected, and ALWAYS have network secured. Make sure it is not a password that could be guessed like password, admin, or your address. Make sure your password is not the same as the broadcast name, or any variation of it.

If all of this fails and you are still having a bad time with this great product, call asus and ask them if they will replace it because you suspect bad hardware. Good luck everyone!

I spent 40 years working in the IT industry and for most of that time I worked on TCP (and other protocols) networks. My previous 11 year old router had many limitation which meant I had to settle for less or in some cases find a work around, such as in running Ethernet cable instead of using the WiFi. Then this ASUS, and rather inexpensive router come into our home. The software on this router is a pleasure to work with, it is so very well written. Doing things like setting up reservations so that the printers always get the same IP address was a breeze. It is nice to work with software that is well thought out, simple to use, and yet quite powerful.
I attach a 250GB sata-ssd diskdrive to the USB port and setup Samba sharing. Connecting Windows 10 to the shared drive was easy. However the one disappointment was performance of this was much to slow for moving large files around.
The signal is good to all parts or our medium sized house.

Mejor compren el Tp-link AC-1200

Reviewed in Mexico on May 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

Mejor compren el Tp-Link AC1200... tiene mejor tecnología y está casi al mismo precio; lo compré y regresé debido a que tengo una conexión de 500mb con totalplay y este router de asus no es útil para aprovechar dicha velocidad, los puertos ethernet traseros incluyendo el puerto que recibe el internet están limitados a 100mbps por cable, lo cual hace inútil la tecnología de 5ghz y que presuman que llega arriba de 800mb en wifi, en cambio el modelo equivalente de la marca Tp-Link si posee puerto Gigabit en la parte de atrás y alcanza 1000mb logrando que ese router si aproveche la rapidez del wifi 5GHZ.
El rango es bueno, alcanza a llegar a un segundo de piso en una casa con paredes gruesas de ladrillo, sin embargo por el precio hay mejores opciones.

Excelente marca. Supero mis expectativas.

Sabía que Asus es una muy buena marca. Pero cuando compre éste router, pensaba más en área de cobertura que en velocidad. Sin embargo, al instalarlo me lleve la sorpresa de que la velocidad bidireccional a través de la banda de 5Ghz aumentó considerablemente. Tengo contratados 50mbps y el wi-fi llega a esa velocidad. Con mi router anterior tan solo alcanzaba a alrededor de 15mbps.

Excelente vendedor, serio, formal y rápido. El producto llegó perfectamente empacado y en excelentes condiciones.

Decepcionado...

Reviewed in Mexico on October 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Había escuchado y leído comentarios favorables sobre este ruteador, pero la verdad resultó decepcionante su desempeño. Cuenta con cuatro antenas externas regulables, pero no por ello su alcance es mayor al del modem de fibra óptica de Infinitum. Cuenta con una interfaz muy compleja y elaborada, para supervisar su funcionamiento, pero con todo y esto es superflua. Tras jugar un buen rato con la configuración, finalmente pude lograr una conexión estable, ya que los dispositivos se desconectaban continuamente, incluso estuve considerando algún defecto del aparato. En este momento ya se encuentra trabajando correctamente, aunque sin tener una gran cobertura. Cuenta con doble banda, de 2.4 y 5 Ghz, que permite una alta velocidad de transmisión con ciertos dispositivos que soporten el protocolo 802.11ac (Iphone, Ipad). Además permite habilitar varias redes para invitados, siempre controlando las conexiones individualmente por dispositivo. Existe también una app para monitorear y controlar el funcionamiento del ruteador, pero también a veces tarda en identificar y conectarse con este. En un inicio mi intención era lograr extender mi red por toda la casa sin necesidad de tantos aparatos, pero la realidad es que no sirvió para mis propósitos y tuve que mantener activo el wifi del modem de mi nuevo ISP en un nivel, este rutedor de Asus en un segundo nivel y adicionalmente colocar un repetidor en un área no tan lejana para lograr una cobertura decente. Anteriormente esto lo lograba con el modem de fibra óptica Telmex. Para concluir, salvo por la velocidad de transmisión en los 5 Ghz, la verdad no encuentro gran diferencia entre este ruteador y un repetidor cualquiera.

El producto es muy bueno, funcione perfectamente, la configuración es fácil y permite la configuración de opciones avanzadas, es importante considerar que este producto tiene más de un año en el mercado, es probable que ya se encuentre a la venta una versión más actual, para el caso de México aún no llega la siguiente generación de esos Routers, pero estoy totalmente satisfecho.
Recomiendo este producto a personas que gustan de tener el control de la Red local, el bloqueo de internet de cada dispositivo es muy fácil desde la APP que ofrece ASUS, la interfaz de configuración del Reuter desde un navegador en computadora es bastante amigable y el rendimiento es muy bueno.

Recuerden configurar su modem en modo puente o bien desactiven NAT desde su nuevo router para así evitar una doble NAT que puede provocar una NAT moderada en algunas plataformas de videojuegos

Excelente router en cuanto a funcionalidad.

Reviewed in Mexico on November 26, 2018

Este router cumple perfectamente con su propósito.
Cuenta con 4 antenas, la cuáles cubren perfectamente mi casa, con excepción de la banda de 5 GHz, la cual no tiene una gran cobertura.

Con respecto a la velocidad de transmisión es cuestionable; mi ISP me ofrece 100 mbps simétricos (cableado) y está velocidad es la misma en el router, mientras esté cableado.
En cuanto a la velocidad inalámbrica, en la banda de 2.4 GHz la velocidad disminuye y me ofrece 40 mbps, mientras que con la de 5 la velocidad es de 89 mbps, lo cual no está nada mal.

Debo mencionar que la configuración es bastante sencilla; la interfaz web es muy intuitiva y fácil de entender.

Además de que la aplicación funciona perfectamente, y nos permite realizar las mismas configuraciones que la interfaz web.

No tengo ninguna queja de este producto, por el precio que tiene, considero que ofrece muchas cosas.
