Hopelessly wretched stability - avoid
I had a Linksys AC1900 AC from Amazon in Oct. 2015 for about 1.5 years and really liked the performance and network tools - at least I did when the unit was not routinely requiring a full reset to return to a stable Internet connection. I ultimately just got fed up with resetting and looked into a replacement router. Foolishly, I settled on the AC1900 ACS expecting that Linksys must have resolved the instability; maybe the memory design on the AC was too small but now the ACS has 2X that memory. I was absolutely Wrong. I bought the AC1900 ACS from Amazon on April 12, 2017, installed it immediately, and it ran like a dream till the first reset 5/23/17, then the second reset 5/29/17 (lines dropping, email links can't resolve URLs and can't be sent, etc.). Too late to return to Amazon. Next reset 6/2/17, then Again 6/6/17. Just hopeless instability and ~ $500+ out of pocket. I have nearly 2 decades as a consultant in high tech - but the pretty looks of the WRT devices still managed to fool me twice.Linksys WRT AC1900 Dual-Band+ Wi-Fi Wireless Router with Gigabit & USB 3.0 Ports and eSATA, Smart Wi-Fi Enabled to Control Your Network from Anywhere (WRT1900AC-FFP)
