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...

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

The Good Fast AC speeds - Easy to set up - Cloud-based management The Bad Expensive - AC not yet widely adopted - Speed gains not noticed without higher-end AC wireless cards As 802.11ac networking begins to makes its way into more and more devices, you may find yourself considering an upgrade for...

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.

The Linksys EA6900 is a draft-11ac router that offers cloud access and an attractive modern interface. Here's our Linksys EA6900 review.

The Linksys EA6900 bears more than a passing resemblance to the EA6500 that we reviewed in December 2012. It's styled in the same dark grey and silver case, has the same flat, horizontally oriented design and the same curved section that juts out in the centre.

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.

The Linksys EA6900 is an AC1900 wireless router, which means it should be one of the fastest routers available. It has a theoretical maximum throughput of 1300Mbit/s when using 5GHz 802.11ac and its wireless chipset also supports the Turbo QAM standard, which can theoretically bring 2.4GHz 802.11n...

Linksys has really gone bad with quality control. They must not do any testing on any products before releasing to the public,if they did they would have seen this issue happen and fixed it.

It was a gift so I didn't have to pay for it

Worked great for all of a fewer months now every other day the routers needs rebooting in order to pass traffic; I have 2 of these and I'm very disappointed; I personally never buy Linksys products for this reason alone, lack of quality!!!
