While I do like changing the installed OS to a router, few and in fact no one I've met outside forums, conventions and seminars do such. Even at the office we run the factory issued firmware in all client devices.
Good luck with modifying the device and getting answers.
It's the second day of reading reviews and comments. 90% of them are completely negative. Hundreds of people mention about its unstability, countless reboots, disconnecting, bad firmware, not working 5Ghz and tons more.
I always wanted Linksys router but form when it's not a part of Cisco i became suspicious. Especially when i see exact same models right after another.
At first i was completely hyped and fell in love to this router. My Asus RT-N10U has only 25mb of ram and he barely manage to handle mega DD-wrt and i really cannot mess up more or he will overheat or reset. Btw its stock firmware is trash so i don't expect anything form Linksys.
I'm moving out and changing all my hardware beside smartphone. So what i'm expecting from my router:
- Very stable and fast when managing ... saving options, rebooting etc ... basic things you know.
- huge range that covers whole one floor apartment (total 50m2)
- never disconnect when streaming to smart tv
- flawless wireless connection with newest generation consoles and my printer (Epson WorkForce WF-7620DTWF)
- open vpn support that actually WORKS ... can't get it to work on my current asus.
- bit torrent and external disc support
Got local ISP not modem ... straight antenna connection. Gonna switch on fiber optic cables soon.
Is Linksys WRT1900ACS (acv2) an good option or is ACv1 enough? Are there better replacements? What do you think ...
