The editors didn't like
The Linksys EA6500's performance with existing pre-802.11ac clients could use some improvement

Very few advanced router features
Slow 802.11n performance on the 2.4GHz band

Abstract: The networking world is edging towards a new, faster Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac. Although the specification is still in ‘draft' form, Cisco is shipping a router and matching bridge that take advantage of the new technology in order to......

Performance was slower than we expected, Keyword filters didn't work for us, Expensive
The Linksys EA6500 offers 802.11ac support, a clean and easy interface, simple FTP access to attached USB drives, and it even ships with an NFC card containing its pre-determined wireless settings. It proved to be a reliable router during our tests, but w...

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...
