You have to consider the Linksys WRT-1900AC as a long-term investment; this is the way to justify its otherwise quite painfully high price tag. Like the venerable WRT-54G, the WRT-1900AC should stand the test of time and should be a rock-solid part of you...
The Linksys WRT1900AC is a great router for home or small office, and it certainly won't disappoint. The only real downsides to the WRT1900AC are that it's a bit pricey, and that it doesn't have a modem built in. Having had the opportunity to use it for ...

The Linksys WRT1900AC is surely right up there with the Netgear R7000 when it comes to the best-looking router. The classic design spruced up with modern lines really makes this unit stand out. Accompanying the design, we also have excellent build qualit...
