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

Abstract: Buffalo is the first networking hardware vendor to bring an 802.11ac router to the market-the AirStation AC1300/N900 Gigabit Dual Band WZR-D1800H. Not only is 11ac functionality added to the AirStation, but the actual design has been refreshed from previo...

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 wh...
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 manage...
Abstract: Five years ago, we didn't have homes with a dozen wireless nodes and the need to run HD video to multiple screens. Today we do. Our 802.11n networks, especially on the 2.4 GHz band, are swamped. Can 802.11ac save the day? We test six routers to find ou...
Published: 2012-09-03, Author: Neil , review by: techradar.com
802.11ac support, 2.4GHz and 5GHZ support, 3x3 antenna, 4x Gigabit LAN ports, WAN port
802.11ac Draft 2, Outperformed by other routers, Poor 5GHz performance, FAT32 only NAS support
You'd be foolish to invest in any 802.11ac kit at this stage, but the technology shows promise and is the only way forward to increase speed beyond the existing 5GHz 802.11n standard. Beyond that, this is a very fast 2.4GHz router and a decent 5GHz route...
Abstract: Buffalo's Airstation 1750 wireless router uses the new Wifi 802.11ac standard, which works at speeds of up to 1,300Mbits/sec on paper, or three times faster than 802.11n technology. This is a ‘draft' product as the standard is not yet approved, but it ...
Range and performance in 11ac mode, Stylish, Plenty of advanced features, Backward compatibility
Expensive (few 11ac devices available), Single USB port (no USB 3)
A good taster for what's to come, and capable of excellent range and performance, but the lack of other 802.11ac devices means you will need to shell out another £129.99 for the matching bridge to fully benefit....
First 802.11ac router, 802.11ac performance obliterates 802.11n, 2.4GHz & 5GHz Dual Band
Weak 802.11n performance, Expensive, especially with media bridge, Aged, poor browser interface
The Buffalo AirStation 1750's D1800H router gives a tantalising glimpse into the future of Wi-Fi. Combined with the D1300 media bridge it produces speeds far beyond anything we have seen from 802.11n equipment. Having to buy a separate media bridge to enj...
