The router is expensive and unfortunately for Mac users
The storage feature doesn't support Time Machine backup
Supports only three spatial streams
Dual-band (versus so-called tri-band)
Definitely looks like a router (that will be a Pro for some)

Routers that can operate three independent networks remain the best choice for people with very crowded wireless environments, but the WRT1900ACS is a solid choice for most enthusiasts...

Fast speed, Great coverage, Supports Open Source firmwares, eSATA and USB 3.0, Restarts quickly
A bit expensive, The default software is lacking
My final verdict is that the router does deliver a premium experience, has fast speed and coverage and it is less expensive than before (the price did come down a lot over the last year). If the Linksys WRT54G made history in the router world, the Linksys...
The Linksys WRT1900ACS has me just as excited as the original. The build quality is still there although this router does seem to have much nicer plastics this time around and of course, it still carries a bit of weight, thanks to the heat sinks. It has...

Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...
Highly polished software interface, Good at long range, OpenWRT compatible
Middling headline performance, especially on 802.11n, Software might look good, but it doesn't offer anything unique
To call the situation with 802.11ac wireless hardware a minefield would be an understatement. The top-end 4×4 models such as the Asus RT-AC5300 and Netgear Nighthawk R7000 (review HERE) offer the best speeds at a high price, but without a compatible clien...
Excellent AC1900 Wi-Fi performance, Robust and functional chassis design, Goog USB transfer performance, Powerful UI, OpenWRT support
Hefty, blue design may put off some users, Doesn't support MU-MIMO, Pushes you towards Smart Wi-Fi login, No basic view for UI
Linksys WRT1900ACS – Setup and Interface Physical setup of this router is a joy, since it's just so well built and is relatively compact – despite its four antennae. It also sits firm, not pushed around by the cables plugged into it. However, I didn't fee...
