The editors liked

  • New 802.11ac standard
  • Wireless speeds approaching 1.3Gb/s
  • Simultaneous dual band operation
  • Compatible with existing devices
  • Affordable
  • Very good close-range performance on the 2.4GHz band
  • DLNA media server
  • Can be oriented vertically or horizontally
  • Blazing speed
  • Quick initial setup
  • Four LAN ports
  • The Buffalo AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router WZR-D1800H supports 802.11ac and all previous Wi-Fi standards. It's very fast on the 5GHz band and is comparatively affordable
  • Easy way to expand connectivity in wireless network. Simple setup. Stylish design.
  • Top throughput tested to date. Gives performance boost to 802.11n Wi-Fi even without 802.11ac client adapters. Elegant design. Advanced capabilities and features.
  • Good throughput and range. Excellent interface. Can operate as router
  • Access point
  • Or bridge. Feature-packed.
  • First 802.11ac router supporting 1300 Mbps speeds. Dual 5Ghz and 2.4GHz radios. Excellent performance across the spectrum. VPN server included in stock firmware.

The editors didn't like

  • Provided stand is not dependable
  • No guest network on either frequency band
  • Only one USB port to support shared storage or a printer
  • Not both
  • USB drive doesn't recognize drives formatted NTFS
  • Currently requires bridge to take full advantage of 802.11ac
  • One USB port
  • Advanced setup is confusing
  • The router's 802.11ac speed
  • While very fast
  • Isn't close to what the new standard is supposed to offer. Its 2.4GHz band Wireless-N performance could use some improvement
  • And the support for USB external hard drives is limited and buggy
  • Expensive media bridge option when paired with anything but Buffalo's 11ac router
  • No DD-WRT-based interface as in other Buffalo routers. Interface is cluttered and poorly designed. No native IPv6 support. Unless you have high throughput needs and all-802.11n equipment
  • The case to buy is hard to make while 802.11ac is still in draft
  • Mobile management interface fairly useless. External access to attached USB drives messy to set up. Flimsy mounting structure
  • The AirStation 1750 works well with 11n devices
  • Even if it's not the fastest we've ever seen
  • But combined with the AirStation 1300 it's an unbeatable (if expensive) performer. The only question mark is whether the final 802.11ac standard will throw up s
  • Drives formatted as HFSare not supported by the USB interface

  • Good throughput and range. Excellent interface. Can operate as router, access point, or bridge. Feature-packed.
  • Mobile management interface fairly useless. External access to attached USB drives messy to set up. Flimsy mounting structure
  • With the AirStation Extreme AC1750 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router, Buffalo steps up its game: The router offers great new management software and good performance. There's a lot to love about this router, but frustrating remote access and mobile manag...

  • The WZR-D1800H ties with TRENDnet's TEW-812DRU for the bottom (#6) rank among AC1750 class products. As noted earlier, its failure to run the tests with 60 dB attenuation caused its low 2.4 GHz range ranking, which didn't help its total ranking. The large...

  • Very good close-range performance on the 2.4GHz band, DLNA media server, Can be oriented vertically or horizontally
  • No guest network on either frequency band, Only one USB port to support shared storage or a printer, not both, USB drive doesn't recognize drives formatted NTFS
  • Buffalo's WZR-1800H delivers more bang for the buck than Belkin's AC 1200, but that's not really saying much....

  • Blazing speed, Quick initial setup, Four LAN ports
  • Currently requires bridge to take full advantage of 802.11ac, One USB port, Advanced setup is confusing
  • Using the new 802.11ac protocol, the Buffalo AirStation AC1300/N900 Gigabit Dual Band router raises the bar for wireless speed, but you'll need an adapter to take full advantage.

  • Although it's fairly well specified, the AirStation 1750 does lack some useful features commonly found on high-end consumer routers, such as a guest wireless network, multiple SSIDs and 3G support. The lack of USB 3.0 is also disappointing, and the single...

  • Easy way to expand connectivity in wireless network. Simple setup. Stylish design.
  • Expensive media bridge option when paired with anything but Buffalo's 11ac router
  • Buffalo's AirStation AC1300/N450 4-Port Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Ethernet Bridge WLI-H4-D1300 is perfect in form and function but is an expensive media bridge if you aren't interested in deploying draft 802.11ac....

  • The Buffalo AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router WZR-D1800H offers great value by adding support for 802.11ac on top of a high-end N900 router without increasing the price. However, the router doesn't have enough appeal for those...

  • The Buffalo AirStation AC1300/N900 Gigabit Dual Band WZR-D1800H is the first 802.11ac router to come to market, though it's draft 802.11ac. The device is the fastest router we've tested to date with excellent range. A poorly designed interface and no nat...
