Things changed for good, now seems the WRT1950AC Will have an second chance since Marvell released open-source drivers for it allowing formal developing from Openwrt and DD-WRT.

I didn't mention Synology has an new Router-Nas ala "Apple Time Capsule", first because usually those setup trade something for such dual purpose, (besides it's only dual drive), either it's not an good Nas or not an good router, I'm sceptical on it to be an solid solution nowadays, maybe on 2...

Nice setup considering your modest needs, beware with Baytrail motherboards, it's 32bit mode is not compatible with most Linux distribution (as long I know only Ubuntu 14.10 not lts), decide to save 5wh or save setup time. There are now available AC cards with Master mode (look at hostapd...

Another approach it's with some capable wireless router with DD-WRT, configured as wireless repeater with lan bridged and running miniDLNA for media sharing (and some pendrive or ssd with the media loaded). Not as perfect as a raspi carpc but by far lesser complicated than dealing with Linux...

Wrong approach: Notwithstanding you are working with currently available parts and devices you have, the main error it's to do it with window and Plesk. I've done an similar setup with an Nano pc but running Ubuntu server, under Linux you can have two wifi adapters (one as Hotspot and other...

You have ddwrt beta release from Brianslayer breach which merged with Kong's ( ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2014/ ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2014/ it's a full dd-wrt with all the features named previously plus transmission (actually Kong's breach) IMPORTANT you read about this firmware...

If you Own it, keep it, it stock firmwar sure will see better days, if you want to buy one, I LOUDLY SAID YOU: NO, DONT BUY THIS, wait for linksys to release an revised version (maybe same form factor with new internals friendly to opensource community), actually the current WRT1900AC its an big...

I don't have linksys insiders but from months was so evident that they do market research in order to provide key features to this routers based on open source users preferences, this due the impossibility to support open-source due the radio drivers (marvel) are reluctant to release it as open...

Data encryption not an issue on a NAS (or whatever you use it) as long you follow some multi platform std, as TrueCrypt. In regard to this question, while there are plenty TrueCrypt clients, I'm not sure if there are an Synology version of TrueCrypt, on Linux you actually can mount an...

If you've an asus ac68u you can install vía optware support for link aggregation, Google it

I don't own it, but a big miss is the bittorent client, an openvpn host and client.

Vlan must be bridged to enable packet inter traffic

Try configuring sub-net mask at 255.255.64.0

It depends more on your movies format than NAS performance, 1 gb ethernet provides enough bandwidth for multiple 4k streams, you only issue maybe with resolution upscale, while there are new NAS aimed at multimedia capable of upscale content resolution, they are restricted to Full HD 1080p...

Trends verbose next wave will be around Nas-Routers Ala *Apple Airport Extreme Timecapsule*, has no sense more speed on soho routers if have no clients (current case, for a while unless some external adapter is used, common clients have as much ac-1200 capabilities, while tablets and...
