The EA6900 ties for a #2 rank with the ASUS RT-AC68U among the three AC1900 routers ranked . The ranker detail shows the EA6900's main weaknesses are vis-a-vis the other two products are routing throughput and 2.4 GHz range.

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

Perhaps our expectations were too high, but we expected more from the ASUS RT-AC68U and Linksys EA6900. The test results are good, there's no question about that, but they're note exceptional.

I purchased this router to replace my existing one. It work for about a day before having to reboot. Had to reboot just about every day. Easy to set up, just would drop internet connection. Took it back before the 14 day return policy.

Features; Easy to Use

Performance

Routers are boring aren't they? However a speedy internet is a lot of fun. So changing your router to something faster than the default one that comes with your broadband package might just give you a welcome speed boost. Which is exactly what we've done.

Plenty of options; easy to setup; parental controls

Not very consumer-friendly look; doesn't include a modem

Excellent router for the family. You can contoll hours of use and content by device. Good signal and streaming video works with little or no refresh...

easy to set up great contolls for kids use

a little pricy

do NOT buy this product. Do NOT buy ANY Cisco, Linksys, Belkin, product right now. for some reason the high quality that we had come to expect from Cisco, has recently declined. their support for their products has also declined, while the cost seems to be increasing.
