Hi guys I just bought the WRT1900AC last week. For a week it went smooth and all my connections were pretty good. Few days ago I started having problems with it. The router has been stable (Devices dont loose connection) but I started noticing my online games started lagging. I had a Ea6700 before this and my roomate and I were able to game without any lags. But now when we start playing we would get lags . When I speedtest I see 45ms and 36Mbs and 18.86Mbs upseed (http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3648243054).
Now the main reason I went with WRT1900AC is that after going through numerous reviews it seemed like it was more stable than the others stock firmware. Also I liked the GUI and simplicity of the firmware. After talking to Linksys technical support I could not get any solution so I am returning the router I initially wanted to get an exchange but TigerDirect dont have it in stock :S. (MAybe mine was a defective?)
I was looking at the Nighthawk R7000 and the RT-AC68U. How does a RT-AC68U with Merlin compare to the R7000 with ddwrt? I also thought WRT1900AC was good for the usb 3.0 transfer speed as I was planning to hook up a flash drive and stream HD movies through my TV.
