Linksys E1200 N300 wireless router 300 Mbps 802.11n

Home Wi-Fi router with 300 Mbps wireless

The Linksys E1200 is a wireless router built for everyday home networking. It delivers wireless-N connectivity at up to 300 Mbps using internal MIMO antennas for broad coverage. Four Fast Ethernet (10/100) ports provide wired connections for desktop PCs, printers, or network storage. Setup is handled through the included Linksys Connect software in three steps.

Households needing basic wireless

This router suits families who want simple web browsing, email, and wireless printing with the ability to manage children's internet access. Guest networking keeps visitor devices separate from your main network. Buyers requiring gigabit wired throughput, dual-band operation, or modern Wi-Fi standards such as 802.11ac or newer should consider other models.

Maximum wireless link rate of 300 Mbps

The single figure that determines suitability is the 300 Mbps peak wireless speed. If your internet plan exceeds this rate or you stream high-bitrate 4K video to multiple devices simultaneously, the wireless link will become the bottleneck. For lighter loads the rated speed is adequate.
