The Linksys E1200 Wireless Router is the latest one from the networking giant Cisco. This is a new E series of Wireless-N routers. The router is the cheapest one in the category of single-band routers. It can be affordable for anyone because of its cheap price range.
The Linksys E1200 price is around $50 only, which is not so much in comparison to other routers with these features. This is the new one from the E series by Cisco, but it is the most affordable one and the most important fact about this router is that the router is easy to use like the other routers from E series.
The router is stable with its signal and all credit goes to the Cisco Connect software. The E1200 can transfer up to 300 Mbps with the feature of Wireless-N. In my opinion, if you are looking for a wireless-N router to manage your home or small office network then this is the one that will do the job for you with a great efficiency.

Unfortunately, the router doesn’t have the feature of wall-mountable.
The Linksys E1200 has one WAN port and four LAN ports on its back like the E2500 and E1500.

The bad news is that the router doesn’t have any lights for showing status but other models of E series have this feature. Though it has LEDs in every port, but it doesn’t have any sort of indicator lights in the front. From the front side of the router, the indicator lights can be seen.

The Linksys E1200 Wireless-N Router has fair enough good features, which are not the least. The E1200 is a wireless N300 router with a single-band antenna and it has a frequency of 2.4 GHz only.
The most important feature of this router is the guest network, which is efficient for sharing the Internet. With the help of this feature you can share your Internet with others but still, you are capable of controlling the access to your local resources including printers or files. The guest networking of the router can allow the maximum of 10 users, which is decent enough for a small office or a home.

You can control this feature with Cisco Connect or the Web interface and with the help of this feature you will be able to change the bandwidth of a computer on the network accesses the Internet. You can also set a limit to another computer that is connected to the router with this feature. From the Web interface, you can manage FTP and HTTP servers also.
Linksys E1200 Performance
The performance of the Linksys E1200 is not so good in comparison to another wireless router with these same features and price. In fact, the router is the slowest one of the other Wireless-N Routers I’ve reviewed. The average speed of the router is only 35.7 Mbps within a 15 feet range, which is slow in comparison with other latest routers. In the distance of 100 feet, the router is just too slow and the speed at this range is only 6.4Mbps. The range of this router is not so much; it is only 175 feet, which is even less than 200 feet.
