Step 3: Connect to the wifi signal from the router. Step 2: Connect your upstream “Internet” link to the appropriate port on the router. I only partially followed the recommended setup steps. The stock firmware that comes with the Linksys WRT1900AC uses a very simple four-step procedure for initial setup. The Linksys WRT1900AC has a 4 port gigabit switch and a gigabit upstream WAN port.
When using OpenWrt you might also like to attach a webcam and printer to the router. You can also attach more storage to the WRT1900AC using its USB 3.0 and eSATA ports. The router has a dual-core Marvell Armada 370/XP CPU with 256 MB of RAM and 128 MB of flash storage. This lets you connect your older devices to 802.11n and newer hardware can take advantage the greater speed and less congested 802.11ac signal. If you want the pleasure of SSH access on your router, the ability to use iptables on connections passing through it, and the ability to run various small servers on it, the Linksys WRT1900AC and OpenWrt are a powerful combination.įrom a hardware perspective, the Linksys WRT1900AC includes simultaneous dual band with support for 802.11n (2.4 GigaHertz) up to 600 Megabytes per second and 802.11ac (5 GHz) up to 1.3 Gigabytes per second.
OpenWrt includes the opkg package management system giving you easy access to a great deal of additional open source software to use on your router.

The Linksys WRT1900AC is a top-end modern router that gets even sweeter when you unleash Linux on it and install OpenWrt.
