Monitor and Control Your Network--Anywhere, Anytime With the industry-leading
SMART Wi-Fi software you can monitor and control a home network from anywhere,
anytime using a PC or mobile device. You can set parental controls to restrict
Internet access during certain times of the day and create secure Wi-Fi passwords
for your guests. You can also monitor activity on your home network, add new devices,
and check upload and download speeds. In addition, Linksys SMART Wi-Fi allows you to
prioritize which devices on your network receive the most bandwidth to reduce lag
times and buffering when you're streaming HD media or gaming. Your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi
account also gives you access to apps that provide additional ways to control and
interact with your home Wi-Fi network.
WRT1900AC is the first Linksys router to incorporate the Network Map tool in SMART
Wi-Fi when using your SMART Wi-Fi account. Network Map provides a visual overview of
your network allowing you to see all devices on your network, their online status and
signal strength, and also measure how much bandwidth they're using at any time. It
also allows you to create personalized identifiable names so that you can identify
your connected devices.
Open Source Ready
While the Linksys WRT1900AC provides an outstanding experience via SMART Wi-Fi
immediately out of the box, advanced users can further modify the router, which
will have Open Source firmware available. Developed for use with OpenWRT, an open
source, Linux-based operating system, the router offers an additional layer of
customization to suit an individualâs needs.
Wireless Repeater Mode and Wireless Bridge Mode for a More Powerful Wi-Fi Network Signal
Users who own a second WRT1900AC will enjoy a more powerful wireless signal using
the SMART Wi-Fi interface. Now you can extend the Wi-Fi signal for both of the router's
dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with Wireless Repeater Mode, or just one of the bands
with Wireless Bridge Mode. Either option effectively turns the WRT1900AC into a powerful
range extender or wireless bridge, adding range and speed to wired and wireless connections
on your network.
Advanced Security to Stay Safely Connected
To keep unauthorized users from accessing your data, the WRT1900AC offers Wi-Fi
Protected Setup along with WPA2 encryption and an SPI firewall for maximum network
security. Parental controls enable you to restrict Internet access for children.
Compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac
Minimum System Requirements
