The Linksys WRT1900AC is undoubtedly a well-constructed unit with distinctive style and strong build quality. It’s wireless performance can only be described as disappointing though, given the statement made by its four-strong aerial array and a class-leading high price of £250. It’s possible that future refinement of the firmware could improve its prospects but as it stands it is markedly over-priced and under-performing.
