Fast 802.11ac performance

The editors didn't like
The Linksys EA6500's performance with existing pre-802.11ac clients could use some improvement
And the router is comparatively expensive
Very few advanced router features
Slow 802.11n performance on the 2.4GHz band
Very slow when writing to an attached USB storage device
Abstract: Wireless marketeers have been hard at work convincing us it takes a $300 router to step up our network's wireless performance. But for many buyers, they're expensive overkill. Most mobile devices have N150 or AC580 (1x1 N or AC) class radios, as do CE pro...
We're still in the early days of the new test process, but the trend in this and the ASUS RT-AC66U retest is generally toward higher throughput results. Now that that both the RT-AC66U and EA6500 have been retested, the Router Ranker accurately has the AS...

Packed with every bell and whistle you could want on a router, the Cisco Linksys EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Router might be too complicated for the average user. For those who need the speeds of Wireless-AC, the Linksys EA6500 does not disappoint. ...
Abstract: Linksys' entry router into the pre-draft 802.11ac space is the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router AC 1750HD Video Pro EA6500. The EA6500 is the fastest performing router I've tested to date at the 5GHz band, besting even Buffalo's speedy pre-draft 802.11ac router...

Abstract: A few years ago networking was pretty stale. Gigabit wired networking was the pinnacle of achievement for consumers and small offices and 802.11n had reached a maximum capacity of 300-450Mbps theoretical throughput. There was nothing exciting going on so ...
