We review the Linksys WRT1900AC Dual Band Wi-Fi Router from Belkin, this dual-core processor monster of a router recently was introduced. This product surely brings the nostalgia of the old WRT54G back to the table as the design is very similar. But make no mistake, the new Linksys WRT1900AC is very fast, very sexy and offers good range on WIFI. Routers these days. You can purchase a dime a dozen and most of them end up all being the same, as such the more predominant manufacturers continuously seek to add new features to their product in order to differentiate themselves in the market. And that's difficult as there isn't a lot of extras you can do with a router really, you are tied to industry Ethernet and WIFI standards, you can make sure the throughput of the devices is good enough for modern age high-bandwidth file throughput and you can make the firmware as sexy as possible with a nice GUI and extensive feature set.

The Linksys WRT1900AC Dual Band Wi-Fi Router is based on the design of the original WRT54G with its nostalgic blue/black looks. This round though, it has a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, four removable antennas and even comes with eSata and USB 2.0/3.0 connectivity ports. Following the latest standards the AC 1900 is compatible with 802.11a, 802.11ac, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and will manage up to 1.3Gbps on the 5 GHz band and up to 600 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. The WRT1900AC comes with Smart Wi-Fi set-up and management tools and will be the first Linksys router to include what is called the Network Map feature. Smart Wi-Fi is a setup and management software tool that gives users access to their connected devices from a browser or even mobile app so you can manage your home network online.
