Linksys WRT1900AC Wi-Fi router review: Faster than anything we’ve tested

April 21, 2014

When Linksys first showed me a WRT1900AC prototype last year, I thought to myself, wow: I hope its performance lives up to its audacious looks. The good news is that it does—for the most part. In fact, it’s the fastest router I’ve ever tested. The bad news is that its $280 MSRP marks it as the most expensive router I’ve ever tested (Linksys launched the router with a $250 sale price).The Linksys WRT1900AC looks like an overstuffed Linksys WRT54G, and it’s sure to stir feelings of nostalgia within anyone familiar with that 2002 classic. The engineers at Linksys, meanwhile, should be feeling justifiably proud of their accomplishment so soon after being freed from the product-development shackles that Cisco had inexorably wrapped around its former division. Under new management at Belkin, Linksys is looking to regain its mojo as a top-tier equipment manufacturer for network-enthusiast consumers and small businesses alike.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
