Professional-Grade 1.6GHz Processor Handles Multiple Users The WRT1900ACS boasts a faster, more powerful 1.6GHz dual-core ARM processor that can handle copious amounts of data extremely fast to easily support multiple online users and digital devices at once. Households won't suffer slow transfer rates when web surfing, video streaming, online gaming, and transferring large files, allowing for multitasking without lag.	More Memory for Faster Data Transfers The WRT1900ACS comes equipped with 512MB of RAM to move movies, music, and other large files at faster speeds. Possessing more than double the memory of its predecessor, the WRT1900ACS improves data transfer speeds, allowing you to do more in less time. The large memory, combined with the 1.6 GHz dual-core ARM processor, provides improvements in wired, wireless, and storage device performance.	Four High-Performance Antennas Enhance Dual-Band Wi-Fi Coverage The Linksys WRT1900ACS features four external adjustable antennas to ensure optimal coverage and maximum signal strength. By utilizing four high performance antennas, the router enhances dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) performance to expand Wi-Fi coverage. High-power amplifiers help maximize signal strength and coverage, even in multistory homes.

 

Beamforming Creates Stronger, Faster Connections With Wireless-AC technology, the WRT1900ACS router leverages Beamforming, an innovative technology that enables the router to strengthen the wireless signal to specific devices, rather than simply sending out Wi-Fi in a general direction. This results in faster network speeds, better wireless range, and stronger Wi-Fi connections.	Flexible Connectivity with eSATA, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 Port The WRT1900ACS is built for an array of digital devices using the USB 3.0 or the eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port. With the eSATA port, users who prefer to attach an external SATA storage device can utilize the eSATA cable that came with their storage unit and benefit from optimal data transfer speeds. The eSATA port can also be used as a USB 2.0 port.	Open Source-Ready Advanced users can further customize the WRT1900ACS, which will have Open Source firmware from third-party websites. Developed for use with OpenWRT, an open-source, Linux-based operating system, the router can be modified to suit a particular application.	Wireless Repeater Mode and Wireless Bridge Mode for a More Users who own a second WRT1900ACS will enjoy a more powerful wireless signal using the Wireless Repeater and Wireless Bridge modes. Now you can extend the Wi-Fi signal for both of the router's dual bands (2.4GHz and 5GHz) with Wireless Repeater Mode, or just one of the bands with Wireless Bridge Mode. Either option effectively turns the WRT1900ACS into a powerful range extender or wireless bridge, adding range and speed to wired and wireless connections on your network.
