Blazing Fast Dual Band Wi-Fi Performance

The Mercusys AC12G AC1300 router delivers ultra-fast wireless performance with dual band capabilities. It offers up to 400 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, which is ideal for everyday internet tasks such as web browsing, emailing, and music streaming. Simultaneously, the 5 GHz band delivers up to 867 Mbps, making it perfect for more demanding activities like HD video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers. These dual bands work together to provide a smoother and more stable connection for all your devices, even when the network is under heavy use.

Expanded Coverage with Beamforming and High-Gain Antennas

Equipped with four external 5 dBi high-gain omni-directional antennas, the AC12G ensures wider and stronger wireless coverage throughout your home or office. The advanced Beamforming technology further enhances signal quality by detecting connected devices and focusing the wireless signal directly toward them. This not only increases range but also improves connection stability, eliminating weak signal zones and dropped connections, even in larger or multi-story buildings.

Full Gigabit Wired Connectivity

For users who require ultra-reliable and fast wired connections, the AC12G includes one gigabit WAN port and three gigabit LAN ports. These full gigabit Ethernet ports provide up to 10× faster speeds than traditional Ethernet, making them perfect for gaming consoles, 4K HDTVs, desktop PCs, and NAS devices. Whether you’re transferring large files, streaming high-definition content, or engaging in competitive online gaming, these ports ensure a lag-free and uninterrupted experience.

Simultaneous Multi-Device Communication with MU-MIMO

Unlike traditional routers that communicate with one device at a time, the AC12G supports MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology. This allows the router to transmit data to multiple devices at once, reducing wait times and improving overall network efficiency. Whether you’re hosting a smart home setup, a busy household, or a small office, MU-MIMO ensures that all your devices get the bandwidth they need without congestion.

Advanced Security with WPA3 and Smart Connect

Security is a top priority with the Mercusys AC12G. It features the latest WPA3 security protocol, which enhances protection against brute-force attacks and offers more secure password encryption. Additionally, the Smart Connect feature intelligently assigns your devices to the best available band based on their needs and distance from the router. This ensures optimal performance for each device, without needing to manually switch between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.

EasyMesh and Flexible Operating Modes

The AC12G supports EasyMesh, allowing you to create a seamless whole-home mesh WiFi system by connecting with other EasyMesh-compatible devices, regardless of the brand. This means consistent signal strength and one unified network name throughout your entire home. Moreover, the router offers multiple operation modes—Router Mode for creating a wireless network, and Access Point Mode for extending an existing wired network—providing flexible deployment options depending on your needs.

Smart App Control and User-Friendly Features

Setting up and managing your network is made effortless with the MERCUSYS app, available on both Android and iOS devices. The app provides step-by-step guidance for installation, along with powerful features such as Parental Controls to restrict inappropriate content and manage usage times, a Guest Network for safe sharing of your connection, and Quality of Service (QoS) settings to prioritize critical devices. These tools make it easier to take control of your home network, whether you’re tech-savvy or a complete beginner.
