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.

Excellent user interface; incredible throughput; very good USB3.0 transfer speeds

Large footprint; can't stand vertically; large power brick; high power use; no bridge mode; 2.4GHz radio fails over time

KitGuru says: A solid, sensibly-priced router from Linksys that has the potential to excel when used with a powerful receiver, such as the WUSB6300 adapter.

Strong 5GHz 802.11ac performance; especially at short range; Consistent and stable 2.4GHz wireless-n performance; Linksys Smart Wi-Fi is an excellent application; Good level of control over settings; Competitively priced for an AC1900 router

2.4GHz wireless-n speed no greater than that of a budget router; Needs a powerful receiving adapter to show strong 802.11ac performance over a long range

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. The new wireless networking standard has been somewhat slow to catch on – certainly slower than the 802.11n standard, which many...
