The Linksys WRT1900AC is a well-constructed router with distinctive style and strong build quality, but wireless performance can only be described as disappointing. Here's our Linksys WRT1900AC review.

The striking blue-and-black case of the Linksys WRT1900AC is a deliberate homage to the famed WRT54G router that was originally released in the 1990s. Wireless technology has come a long way since then, though, and this, its spiritual successor, is a breed apart.

The Linksys WRT1900AC's angular blue and black chassis harks back to the company's popular WRT54G, which could be customised thanks to the use of an open-source operating system. The WRT1900AC is also promoted as being compatible with third-party Open WRT firmware, although open source drivers for...

Despite being launched years ago, Linksys' WRT54G is still considered one of the best wireless routers available on the market. While most of this appeal is due to very capable third party firmware, the WRT54G set a high water mark that was only recently surpassed by some of the latest AC-band...

When Linksys first showed me a WRT1900AC prototype last year, I thought to myself, wow: I hope its performance lives up to its audacious looks. The good news is that it does--for the most part. In fact, it's the fastest router I've ever tested.

Great looking powerful router. Open source software ready is nice option but know that the factory installed software works just fine. One thing to know is if you decide to prioritize connected devices, it seems to cap the maximum internet speed at about 30mb/s.

The Linksys WRT1900AC Dual band Smart WiFi Router takes its design and inspiration directly from the original WRT54G blue/black stackable classic look. The WRT1900AC is designed to be the most powerful and feature-rich home and small office network router available on the market today.

When unboxing the HADES the first impression we had was that it was maybe a bit too plastic. It feels sturdy enough and there is a decent weight to it (Gamdias add a weight at the factory, rather than just sticking to the body/standard components) but it is noticeable that there isn't the same grip...

The WRT1900AC's big problem isn't its performance, however, it's the price. For £250 we expect the very best in performance at close range and long range, and this router doesn't quite deliver that.

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.
