date added: 2014-05-02

To provide strong, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home, the WRT1900AC is the first router in the market to feature four external adjustable antennas that ensures your Wi-Fi signal is always at maximum strength. It provides wireless transmission rates of up to 1900Mbps (1300Mbps AC + 600Mbps N).

With a professional-grade, 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM CPU the WRT1900AC is capable of moving data at unprecedented rates in even the busiest of networks.

Using the USB 3.0 port, you can add external storage or other devices to share content across your network. For those with an external SATA storage device, the WRT1900AC is outfitted with a unique eSATA port for added convenience and optimal data transfer rates; it can also serve as a USB 2.0 port.

Developed for use with OpenWRT, an open source, Linux-based operating system, the router offers an additional layer of customization to suit an individual's needs.

Missing some features like WiFi connection status and other features that seem basic to previous routers. Seem lacking in UI support and flexibility. Overly priced for this kind of router with out addition features that are seen for this class of router and price. Other Mfr routers have more features and do more for lest cost. Hope Linksys will add to it. HW is pretty good and stable. I like the internal fan for safety. Not worth the cost at this time.
