This review is from: Linksys EA6900 AC1900 Dual Band SMART Wi-Fi Gigabit Router
Pros:
looks
Cons:
so i thought it was just my first one.... the random shutdowns, wifi turn offs, bad Ethernet speed, but no... no no no.... now its even worse no matter what firmware i use (and the "smart wifi" firmware IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!!) or a custom dd-wrt. the thing still is a peice of *guess*. AND THE SAD THIN IS THAT MY DD-WRT EXPERMENT REVELED THAT THE CPU AND WIRELESS ANTENA'S OVERHEAT AND CAUSE THE ROUTER TO REBOOT...... EVEN WHEN I LOWERED THE CPU CORE CLOCK BY 400MHz IT STILL OVERHEATED!!!!!!!!. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST ROUTER I HAVE EVER USED IN MY MY LIFE AND AS A CCNA GRAD IT IS AMAZING HOW THEY MESSED THIS ONE UP. AND THE SAD THING IS THAT THIS IS PC MAG EDITORS CHOICE???? ARE U KIDDING ME!!! MY OLD WIRELESS B ROUTER WORKS BETTER THAN THIS THING!!!!
oh and the best part is how long the warranty return took... like 2 months... im not kidding, and i payed for express shipping.... wow
Overall Review:
I HAVE BOUGHT AND STILL AM USING A REALLY CHEEP LINKSYS ROUTER BACK WHEN CISCO MADE IT AND IT IS STILL WAY BETTER THAT THIS PIECE OF.
im sorry but this is just unforgiveable.
