    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    That is a good price, but unfortunately wasn't my price. I'm not sure if folks here are familiar with SlickDeals, but that's where I learned of the clearance. Unfortunately, I learned of it after the fact and most of the units had likely been sold by the time I needed a router. According to...

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    Thanks for chiming in. I've already purchased a replacement. I picked up an EA8300. Walmart has apparently been clearing out an older model of the EA8300 for $35. Unfortunately, I didn't get that screaming deal, but the price I got seemed decent under the circumstances. I'm not sure what...

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    Sorry for bumping a really old thread, but lightening took out some of my home network a few days ago, including this router. Can they be repaired and is it even worth it? Do people here run their network stuff through any kind of surge protection? Is that a common practice? I have a...

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    My home is a ranch with basement, but I'm rarely in the basement as it's unfinished. I'm also a big fan of products with the words High & Gain in the name. I had read some older posts somewhere regarding these antennas and it seemed debatable whether you would notice a performance improvement...

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    This may not be the best location for this question, but has anyone used the Linksys High-Gain antennas on this router? Amazon has them marked down to 77-78 bucks and looks like they may have recently been as low as $73. Any benefit to using these antennas?

    Any good reference links for installing DD-WRT or other open source firmware? I apologize in advance for being lazy.

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    What are the advantages of the open source firmware? Would the average every day user benefit from running DD-WRT? Are there any disadvantages and/or risks?

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    I'm still having good luck with the router after 3-4 days. I've hooked up some external storage and it seems much more stable than on my previous EA6700. That router would frequently lose access to the external drive and I would have to power off the drive etc. It became such a pain that I...

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    Maybe it's my imagination, but the wired Ethernet LED's on my unit don't seem as bright as the power on, internet and wireless indicators. I haven't checked all four indicators. The Ethernet LED's actually seem smaller to me, so maybe that has something to do with it. Are you using the...

    WRT1900AC V1 Problems

    I hope this is not a bad spot for a first post. It seems relevant as I also just got this router from Best Buy. I don't mean to hi-jack. My wireless router (EA6700) recently died, which, in addition to Best Buy's price, prompted me to buy this unit. It was delivered yesterday and, based upon...
