The Linksys EA6500 Router is one of only a few ‘next-generation' routers available today. We have previously tested the ASUS RT-AC66U router. Unfortunately we were unable to do any direct comparisons between the two as our Asus sample was returned to the...
Abstract: Five years ago, we didn't have homes with a dozen wireless nodes and the need to run HD video to multiple screens. Today we do. Our 802.11n networks, especially on the 2.4 GHz band, are swamped. Can 802.11ac save the day? We test six routers to find ou...

Easy to use, Fast performance
802.11ac not ratified yet, Pricey
So far this is the only 802.11ac router we'd think about recommending, but even so, unless you're convinced of the need to future-proof yourself we'd hold off at least until laptop and desktop adaptors have made an appearance. The standard isn't due to be...
Cisco has clearly spent a lot of time and effort on the EA6500's interface, and listened to customer feedback. It's full of excellent features and is great for setting QoS rules. Performance is outstanding on 5GHz in combination with both 802.11n- and 802...

Unparalleled wireless range, Class leading 802.11n 5GHz performance, A slick & intuitive Cloud platform, Two USB ports, Stylish, subtle design
Expensive, Still only 4 Ethernet ports
The Cisco Linksys EA6500 is not only the best 802.11ac router on the market right now, but it's also the best 802.11n router on the market too. Peak performance is exceptional, but where it really shines is range, hitting speeds far in excess of anything ...
Abstract: Wireless marketeers have been hard at work convincing us it takes a $300 router to step up our network's wireless performance. But for many buyers, they're expensive overkill. Most mobile devices have N150 or AC580 (1x1 N or AC) class radios, as do CE pro...
We're still in the early days of the new test process, but the trend in this and the ASUS RT-AC66U retest is generally toward higher throughput results. Now that that both the RT-AC66U and EA6500 have been retested, the Router Ranker accurately has the AS...
