I tried with speed permutations that include 160MHz channels - but 1900? Going 160MHz would double the rate of a single AC channel - so perhaps 1x 160MHz, 2x 80MHz + 1 N channel would nearly make 1900Mbit/s (1882), but would conflict with the 3 N channel assertion.
I guess we'll get the explanation once Computex gets underway..

Keep in mind that the AC1900 moniker is nothing more than marketing branding - it is in no way a technical specification. And it is about an unannounced product, so it could very well be totally wrong as well (try an AC1900 search on Google to see what I mean).

Yeah, the numbers don't add up. I don't think they are going to 4x4 or 160 MHz channels. See this Stream/Rate/Channel Width summary
 
Hmm

I was told AC1900 is constructed in this manner, up for thoughts and discussion

me 10.

how did they come up with AC1900 ?
AC1750 is 450 from 2.4Ghz, and 1300 from 5GHz

AC1900 ~ 5GHz (1300Mbps 3 spatial streams) + 2.4GHz (600Mbps 3 spatial streams) so i was told ;)



 
Definitely interested in this router. Any info on release date or pre-orders?

Looks like it was officially announced today at computex. No release dates as of yet or price
 
Will be getting it as soon as it's out. We'll see how it stacks up against wonderful R6300.
 
Yes he have 3

See the pictures

It doesn't seem there is a "3 stream / 600Mbps Wireless-N" combination according to this.


The 1900Mbps spec could be marketing smoke&mirrors for this theoretical & concurrent throughput combination:

5Ghz Wireless-AC (1300Mbps / 3 stream) + 5Ghz Wireless-N (300Mbps / 2 stream) + 2.4Ghz Wireless-N (300Mbps / 2 stream).

Although it would seem to make sense that 3 stream Wireless-N @ 450Mbps would be used for a total theoretical throughput of 2200Mbps.
 
Does the SoC have hardware crypto acceleration? Trying to decide between this and a EdgeMax Lite + Unifi AC combo... obviously Asus would be a lot cheaper.
 
RT-AC67U is now the RT-AC68U?

I have read that the RT-AC67U has been re-designated as the RT-AC68U. Is this true? Would anyone like to shed some light on this?
 
That's correct.
 
Man can't wait to get this fat butt router.
Skipped the ac66u since i don't need ac, why get this? Finally a cpu upgrade!

Don't get caught up in the marketing hype.

I haven't seen significant performance improvements on other BCM4708-based routers so far.
