The table below summarizes the wireless performance of the RO1200 series:

Model	Wireless Band	Speed	Range
RO1200	5GHz	Up to 1200 Mbps	Extended
RO1200	2.4GHz	Up to 600 Mbps	Extended

Advanced Quality of Service

The RO1200 routers support advanced Quality of Service (QoS) to optimize performance for gaming, HD video streaming, and VoIP calls. You can easily prioritize latency-sensitive traffic to ensure smooth online gaming and uninterrupted video chat.

With downstream QoS, the router intelligently manages upload traffic congestion. This prevents slow uploads from affecting time-sensitive downstream traffic. The RO1200 routers also have built-in Dynamic Frequency Selection to avoid interference from neighboring WiFi networks.

Security and Remote Access

These routers provide robust wireless security, including WPA3 encryption. The RO1200 series supports VPN pass-through and allows incoming VPN connections for remote access to your network. Built-in SPI intrusion detection and DoS prevention provide protection against cyber threats.

With the companion XtremeSpeed mobile app, you can monitor your home network remotely. See connected devices, block unwanted ones, set guest WiFi passwords, and more.
