A nonworking USB 3.0 port
A glitchy Linksys Smart Wi-Fi cloud-based feature

We've tested a lot of routers over the years, and there's simply never been a router that's impressed us as thoroughly as the Linksys EA6900. And of course it should, at its asking price. But Linksys didn't stop at providing state-of-the-art electronics i...

The Linksys EA6900 is a relatively competent draft-11ac router performance as good or better than its much dearer sister product, the Linksys WRT1900AC. It offers cloud access if you don't object to Belkin's current terms of use, and an attractive modern...

PricingWhen we look at moving to the upper end of the market for consumer grade networking products, there is a bit of a jump in the pricing as one would expect. This is not to say though that the EA6900 is one of the most expensive routers that one can b...
