Nice Router

I had my internet service upgraded and my old linksys could not handle it. Had no idea what i needed, so I just started reading reviews, and this one had the best ones..... is working out just fine.

Now that 802.11ac is making its way into more phones, tablets and laptops, choosing an AC router such as Linksys' EA6900, is becoming an increasingly tempting option. And if you're going to opt for 802.11ac, you might as well go for broke and choose a top-end model.

Even working with the escalated support team at Linksys, we were unable to get this to work with our network. We wanted to have a separate guest WiFi experience from our internal network wireless connection. This router is supposed to support that but we were never able to get both to work.

This router is horrible. The firmware appears to be written to patronise. It has very few features and those it does have don't seem to work or are ridiculous. After having to mess with settings because my initial install of it simply didn't work I finally, I thought, managed to get it working.

Bought this last month and am very happy with purchase

Bought to replace a cheaper 2.4GHz router. Decent reliability and range. No need to reset it often like cheaper ones either. LED is quite bright tho.

Today on our test bench we will be taking a look at the new top of the range Wi-Fi router from Linksys (now part of the Belkin group) the EA6900. Boasting a range of high end features and supporting the latest 801.11AC standard this product looks to set itself apart from the competition.

It has been quite some time since I have been able to have a play around with some of Linksys' networking hardware and boy it feels good to be back under the wings of one of their latest routers.

Renowned networking Vendor; Superior wireless speed of up to 1.3Gbps on offer (with compatible devices; Gigabit WAN interface; Smart WiFi mobile applications; Ease to use GUI; Sleek and simple design

High performance hardware carries a stronger price premium; Wall mounting points leave router in a side on orientation with the antennae and cabling coming out to one side as oppose to up from the body of the router

Wireless technology never stands still so although it wasn't until roughly just over a year ago when manufacturers released their very first AC1750 compatible routers now we already see AC1900 compatible ones offering even higher combined speeds.
