It has 90% of the features I need, and I'm confident I'll get more advanced features with updates or via open source projects.įor now, the Linksys WRT1900AC Wireless Router is sold only at Best Buy or on direct.

The speed is as good as anything I've ever used.

I've got good management tools, inside, outside, and while mobile.

I've got greater wireless coverage than ever before.

)Īll in all, I'm very satisfied with this new router. This also potentially means I could debug those network issues that only pop up when I'm travelling and my wife is trying to get on the internet. This allows me to remotely manage the router from anywhere (without a account or opening the firewall) as well as from my iPhone. I also registered my router with the site. It's a gimmick, but it's a gimmick that works and works well. From here I can see who's on which wireless channels, reserve DHCP leases, filter devices by type. Not to harp on this feature, but I really like this real-time filterable network map. However, I have spent most of my time in the Network Map. You can access lots of logs, diagnostics, and stats for everything. While it does lack in some places, it makes up in others.

To compensate, I marked my Xbox and my Work PC as needing preferred packets, so rather than prioritizing specific traffic, the router will prioritize these machines by MAC address. I'd like more absolute control over my traffic, but that's me.

Their initial release of the built-in software is a little lacking, IMHO, in a few areas, most notably QoS (Quality of Service) and is a little bit of a step back from my previous routers.

The installation was a breeze and I was impressed that they included a non-standard default password for out of the box security. It's nice when a company creates hardware and doesn't freak out when the community wants to hack on it. The WRT1900AC also will support OpenWRT later this year, and Linksys is encouraging folks like the DD-WRT, Open WRT, and Tomato projects to target this device. I haven't done formal tests, but it's looking like 20-30% just on the wireless side. It's been consistently faster than my previous router in basically everything that I do.

I've also been able to get 20-40 megs a second off an attached hard drive. I'm getting between 40-60 mega bytes a second over wireless. It's fast and rock solid at 100+ megabytes a second. It supports FAT, NTFS, and HFS+ filesystems. I was just talking to a neighbor who was considering a $600 NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, and I see now that the WRT1900AC could be that basic NAS for him. I was also pleasantly surprised that the WRT1900AC has a USB 3.0 port and an eSATA port where you can plug in external storage, then access it as a file share. They even warn you not to put stuff on top of it so you don't block the heat sink. It's got 4 large adjustable antennas, and the whole device is the size of a medium pizza.

It cover the full spectrum, pun intended, and has both 2.4GHz and 5.0Ghz support.

Considering that I work from home and need consistent and reliable connectivity, I'm willing to pay a premium for a premium device.įirst, this is a 802.11a/b/g/n router and supports all devices, including the newer 80.11ac spec. If it lasts 5 years like previous routers, it's pennies. Let's say that it only lasts a year, that's less than $1 a day. However, after using it for a week I can say yes. This router is clearly a little spendy, and I was initially wondering it US$249 is worth the money. It's a PC, frankly, and I appreciate the power and flexibility. I was thrilled that theh WRT54G had "fast ethernet."Ĭompare that to the WRT1900AC with its dual-core 1.2Ghz ARM processor with 256 megs of DDR3. It had 16 megs of RAM and 4 megs of Flash. My first WRT54G was a Broadcom BCM4702 running 125Mhz, although later models went to 240Mhz. The new Linksys WRT1900AC has a design that is clearly meant to evoke the WRT54G, but it's a whole new beast. Having a reliable, hackable router was a joy back in the day. I ran HyperWRT for a while and then ended up with DD-WRT. I've been a Linksys WRT54G fan for almost a decade. As a part of my home network rebuild, I swapped out my Netgear N600 for a shiny new Linksys WRT1900AC Wireless Router. I just blogged about how I simplified my home network with a MoCA/Ethernet bridge.
