Nobody?
Here are some quick rankings based on my experience/environment, in case anybody is considering buying: Wireless Range - 2.4Ghz
Wireless Throughput - 5.0Ghz
Ease of Setup
Features
USB File Sharing Support
Stability
Average Price (Low to High)
Bottom Line: I am sticking with the WRT1900AC. The extra $$$ is worth it. Last edited by htismaqe; 05-24-2014 at 08:31 AM.. |

The default usernames for the R7000 and AC68U are both "admin". The default passwords are both "password".
The Linksys GUI no longer utilizes a username and password but rather just a login. By default, it is "admin". |

Last time I needed a router, I just bought whatever router they had at Best Buy (Linksys E1200). Does that qualify me to be a home networking enthusiast?
What I did splurge on was an UPS so that I didn't have to reset the whole modem/router rig every time the power blinked. That got old. |

I just want my router to be a router / wifi AP. I don't want it to be a print server or a file server or have 6 antennas or any of that shit. I usually just buy a good midrange device that can handle Tomato or DD-WRT.

That being said, the performance of these devices as routers and wireless APs cannot be understated. Dual core CPUs with high-end wireless amps. The range and wireless throughput of all of these routers is at least DOUBLE of my old Netgear WNDR3700, which at one time was the fastest N600 router available. In addition, all of these routers can handle near 1Gig WAN/LAN routing, so Google Fiber people would do well to take a look. |

Upgrading from a baseline N router to a dual band N increased our network throughput significantly, and even boosted wireless download speeds two-fold. On a 30 Meg connection we've pulled downloads as high as 4 MB/sec.

On this Linksys, I'm pushing 216Mbps consistently on the 5Ghz band.

Any idea which ones are more prone to interference?
Typical things like home theater equipment, microwaves, cordless phones, etc?

You're not likely to get interference from home electronics (with one notable exception below) but microwaves definitely can interfere with 2.4Ghz signals. Bluetooth runs in the 2.4Ghz spectrum and can cause problems. However, the biggest interference problem on 2.4Ghz is simply the limited amount of spectrum. There's only 3 non-overlapping bands, so if you have 3 neighbors and yourself on 2.4Ghz, your competing with at least one person. The good news is that since their all running the same protocols, it's really not "interference" but rather contention (unless you're at fringe distances where the protocols don't function correctly). On the 5Ghz side, there's one primary, common offender - 6.0 cordless phones. They use the upper end of the 5.8Ghz spectrum, which will absolutely cause significant problems with 5Ghz router transmissions. Interference is really not a huge concern in this day and age. Wireless contention (on the 2.4Ghz) is a much bigger issue and after that, stability and quality of the individual device is paramount. |

Do any of these offer a site to site VPN secured w/ IPSec? If not, i'm not interested.

I want to bring a router with me when travelling to extend my home network to my hotel room.
