Should you buy a WRT1900ACS?<br />

I’ve been using the WRT1900AC in my smart home ever since that<br />

router shipped (it’s sitting atop the Linksys SE4008 WRT 8-port switch,<br />

which rests in turn on a D-Link DGS-1024D 24-port switch). The router<br />

has been supremely reliable, even though my home-run closet tends<br />

to get a little warm. Most of my audio and video gear is hardwired to<br />

my network, so I don’t need the added flexibility than an AC3200<br />

router offers.<br />

I don’t have the geek cred—or the patience—to move to opensource<br />

firmware, but I will probably move up to the WRT1900ACS in<br />

the near future. It’s a great router, and Linksys is offering it at the<br />

same price as the old one: $230 (although street prices for the<br />

WRT1900AC have since dropped to $195).<br />
