Asus RT-AC1900P or Linksys EA9200-4C same price at Bestbuy

[Patrick Thomas]

After reading the reviews of the Asus RT-AC1900P and Linksys EA9200 on SNB and elsewhere, and reviews of people who bought them, I'm not exactly sure which one to go with. The Asus router is highly ranked and the brand appears solid, while the Linksys router appears low ranked in its class and some purchasers seem unhappy with flaky or failing hardware. Do I need to go into detail about how it'll be used?

Edit: Used for new laptop, Xbox One, Smart TV, cell phone in medium sized two story house.
I've purchased Linksys E3000 and E4200 routers in the past.

they dont make a barge pole long enough for me to poke the linksys with , and im guessing you wouldnt have enough 5 gig devices to make it worth getting a tri band router in the first place

the main thing wrong with the linksys is its gui and firmware suggest you avoid it like the plague

the asus just works so get it
