When it comes to the bandwidth and performance of network equipment, gigabit and 100 gigabit usually refer to the transmission rate of the network interface. For the TP-Link AC1200 router, its wireless transmission rate does reach the gigabit level, but the transmission rate of the wired interface is at the gigabit level.
Specifically, the AC1200 router's wired interface supports 100M bandwidth, which means it can efficiently handle data transfer speeds of up to 100Mbps. If your home network bandwidth is more than 100M, then this router may not perform optimally.
In addition, in addition to the transmission rate of the interface, the performance of the router is also affected by other factors, such as processor speed, memory capacity, number of antennas, and signal processing technology. These factors can affect the overall performance and network stability of the router.
Therefore, if you need better network performance and greater bandwidth support, it is recommended to choose a router with a higher transmission rate of wired interfaces, such as a Gigabit router. But if you only need to meet basic network needs, and your home network bandwidth does not exceed 100M, then the AC1200 router may be a suitable choice.
