Important Speed Limitation

Speed Limitation: The advertised AC1200 speeds are theoretical maximum wireless link rates and are not guaranteed real-world internet or file-transfer speeds. Actual performance depends on the connected device, Wi-Fi standard, channel conditions, distance, interference, network traffic, and other environmental factors.

The 867 Mbps and 300 Mbps figures represent the maximum theoretical rates of the two wireless bands and should not be interpreted as a single-device 1200 Mbps connection.

The router’s Gigabit Ethernet ports support up to 1000 Mbps link speed per port; actual throughput depends on the connected equipment, cabling, network conditions, and internet service.

Compatibility

The MERCUSYS MR30G is compatible with Wi-Fi devices supporting 802.11ac/a/b/g/n standards across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

Compatible devices include:

• Smartphones and tablets
• Laptops and desktop computers with compatible Wi-Fi
• Smart TVs and streaming devices
• Gaming consoles and gaming PCs
• Wireless printers
• Other compatible Wi-Fi devices

Wired devices can connect through the router’s Gigabit WAN and LAN ports. Wi-Fi features such as MU-MIMO and Beamforming depend on compatible client devices and network conditions.

EasyMesh functionality requires compatible EasyMesh devices and supported firmware.
