Hi, Scott: Two answers to your question about throughput on Linksys.
First, my personal experience is with the WRT1900AC, first rev. It was easily the fastest I'd ever worked with. I say this in the past tense, because I blew it up and it no longer boots. I'm just not good with tasks like cracking the case open and attaching leads to particular posts inside in order to get a serial console over USB--even though I have the parts in house. So, I've been running on an old Archer C7, and I miss my old Linksys. This has put me back in the market, even though money is tight for me right now. Second, I've found the following Cnet article quite helpful, and it addresses this issue: https://www.cnet.com/products/linksys-wrt3200acm-mu-mimo-gigabit-wi-fi-router/preview/ So, I'm currently considering a Black Friday deal at Amazon on the WRT1900ACS--the penultimate model from Linksys which seems to have a reasonably good price at Amazon just now. However, I'm personally inclined to wait until just after Christmas as I expect the deals might be even better in a month. As I said, my money is tight right now. The above regards throughput. I would add that I've been a stalwart OpenWRT fan for a decade. I love the control I get with OpenWRT. And, accessibiliy can't be beat when it's a matter of editing ASCII text files over ssh, though I tend to download them and edit on my Linux desktop machine because my Arch build of vim is more featureful than that provided by OpenWRT. Once edited, I simply rsync the result back up. hth Janina Scott Granados writes: > Hi Janina, I thought like most Cisco products the links’s devices had poor > forwarding rates.
