Belkin Linksys Announced Sucessor to WRT54G: WRT1900AC
"The new version, dubbed the WRT1900AC, will be powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core ARM-compatible processor with 128MB of flash memory and 256MB of DDR3 RAM. It will also support dual-band 802.11ac wireless networking at speeds of up to 1.3Gbps, in addition to all previous 802.11 protocols..."
Thanks for the info....I may be looking for another router to eventually replace my E4200v2. The only thing I'm concerned with regarding Linksys now is that they are owned by Belkin.
Such a beast of a router. Still rocking my Linksys E4200 v1 since it first came out and still rock solid. Will upgrade when it comes out. I just have to get it!

I replaced my E4200v1 with Netgear Nighthawk R7000. Although I've seen reports of issues with the R7000, it's been working very well for me.
I'm glad it's working well for you. I once had a Netgear Router and had a bad experience with it. So, my next Router will either be a Belkin/Linksys or an Asus. I would wait until the WRT1900AC is out for a while and check out the reviews.
The great blue hope for Linksys? Something to pull them out of the ugly belly of Belkin? Could be a pre-release build though, I know the RT-N66U changed ALOT before release, so fingers crossed!
Can't find the FCCID anywhere..its possible they haven't released it, but usually they have to to show it at CES. I dug through all the recent Linksys AND Belkin entries and nadda. Wiki, OC's and TomsHardware also came up blank. Anyone else have any luck? I want to see internals. I don't trust Belkin on build quality.
The best I could find was this video, but its CGI so take it with a grain of salt. It does show what looks like a decent thermal sink across both the CPU and Wireless chip. So....::fingers crossed::
It would be happening now. I may be interested in getting this router when it comes out (if the price is not too outrageous), for my E4200v2 is giving me problems. It's a refurb that I've had over one year, and I keep losing signal on my devices, wired and wireless.
Well it's now at the end of March and still no word as to when this will be going on sale. I've had my eye on this since it was first debuted back in January and I really hope that it is going to be good. I do like that it can be loaded up on third party firmware though I personally still like the classic interface before Linksys started doing the Smart Router Cloud thing. With so many third party firmware providers out I don't know which one to use. I wish there was a provider of that classic interface. Anyone have any suggestions?
