I ended up with an extra Linksys router (bid on two and won both). It is a refurbished Linksys EA6900 AC1900 router. Since I don't need it and I got a good deal, I will throw it out here at what I paid for it ($80). I will be in Lexington, the weekend of Oct. 17th, if anyone is interested and wants to save on shipping. About the router: 802.11ac - AC1900 speed router 4x 10/100/1000 Gigabit wired ethernet 1x 10/100/1000 Gigabit wired WAN port (for connecting to cable/dsl modem) 2x USB ports (for file/printer sharing) Dual Core Arm Cortex-9 processors (running at 800Mhz) 128MB Flash 256MB Ram (most older routers have 4MB flash and 16MB ram)
I'd jump all over it Pedro but I bought a peplink that has done great for me and it's the only real mission critical thing I have running now. FWIW I love the peplink. Pricey but it's been good for me. I have an older Hotbrick that's done well, but people seemed to like the peplink better these days so I tried it.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
Can I use that for something? I'll ask my son when he gets home. He's in Nashville participating in Vandy Hacks. I don't know what that is, but you guys probably do. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Darrell, I know what it is, but it is way to advanced for my needs. I have had a Linksys WRT54GSV4 router for 15 years and ,knock on wood, it is still performing perfectly. At some point it will be a dinosaur, but until the internet speeds up, it is all I need. device-image-57914.jpg
seeya dan I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.

That being said, those routers are tanks, easily hackable, decent power, pretty reliable. My family had multiple of them, I loaded dd-wrt or tomato on every one of them.

Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk It's a home router 802.11ac, so the fastest standards out right now. I have no clue what your current router is, so I can't tell you on that. That being said, the new chromecast is 802.12ac compatible. Sent from my LG-ls990 using Tapatalk
If I understand correctly, we have ATT Uverse proprietary router, so I couldn't use. But thanks, really sounds useful.

You CAN use it, you just have to tell ATT to set your router/modem to modem only mode then attach the Linksys router to it. That being said, it is up to you if it is worth the hassle. I have it listed on craigslist in my area, will list it in Lexington as well next week at $100. Anyone who wants it can contact me on here for the $80 price.
That's sounds very good. Thanks for your sharing.
