Easy to Setup, Good Speed and Nice Features

I received this product for free as part of Belkin's Friends + Family Program
the WRT1900ACS is a nice router. It has some really nice features, was very easy to setup and has some good features that come with it, overall I think it is a good wireless router.
What I liked:
1) This router is super easy to setup, super easy! The quick guide is to the point and will get you setup and running fast for your basic wireless needs.
2) the Router is fast. it is not the fastest router in its priced range but is fast enough you can use it for gaming, streaming devices with no problem
3) APP for your mobile device allowing you to check connected devices, Check the performance and tweak your network to how you like it is really simple. It does have some room for improvement but it is easy to use and has all the basic features you could ask for.
4) Appears to be very durable. The Antenna are very easy to attach and seem sturdy. So if you have to put it in your Kitchen, kids room or anywhere where someone might place stuff on it, bump it or knock it around It should put up with the abuse.
2) USB Ports, one being USB 3 and the other 2.0 that dual purposes as and eSata port. Making it convenient for network storage allowing for higher data rates than standard USB.

What I didn't like about the router
1) the App even though basic and easy to use feels unpolished and lacking in some advanced features. And the available apps to enhance it are limited to must netproofer.
2) Your account for the App is an email address and not a username. This is a little confusing when logging into the app and it is asking for username and not email address.
3) Advanced setup is not as convenient on this router and what I mean by that is it is kinda hidden. Especially from the App side it is not even available for the most part.

Packaging of the device is very nice and I would not expect that anyone should get a damaged unit because of packaging. It is easy to open and get the components out. Like I said setting up the router was really easy compared to others I have setup, and I have setup a few. It is way easier than the Netgear Nighthawk I setup. i think the ease of setup is its strongest selling point over all the devices around the same pricepoint. It has the standard features that all wireless routers should have, 5 gibabit Ethernet pots one being for your Provider the other 4 for connected devices, and at least one USB (2) but the added feature of dual purpose usb port that also is an eSata is really nice.
Once setup the device has worked flawlessly for almost a month without any restarts needed. I have several medial streaming devices connected to it and have not seen performance issues. There are also several mobile devices connected as well and no complaints from the family about it.
In summary this is one of the easiest to setup wireless routers that I have ever used. It's overall focus appears to be really on ease of use. This takes a hit when it comes to more savvy users probably lacking in features for them but for someone who want to be able to setup their wireless fast and have it just work without playing a lot with it this router is great. The Interfaces via web and mobile are very simple and easy to navigate, however like I said the more techie users will find it is missing a few features.

I have the typical home entertainment center. All different brands some very old and some really new.
Vizio TV
Sony Sterio
Hitachi VCR - Yeah I still have one of those for the few tapes left
PS3
Cable DVR box

I was afraid that this would not have the ability to control the VCR but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it does.
Setup is super easy but takes a little time. And with the Activity buttons using this remote is a dream and super easy for me. My Girlfriend even called me one day to tell me she didn't need help figuring out how to get the TV to work as the remote helped her fix the problem. NOW THATS A BIG DEAL!
I also picked up the PS3 box for this and it works amazing with the PS3 as well. Forget the Sony PS3 BT remote if you have a full entertainment setup.
This remote is so smart is turns off the devices you do not need and turns on the ones you do
What's great about it: Programable activity buttons that turn on all the devices you need, Super easy help feature when things go wrong
What's not so great: I haven't found anything yet
I would recommend this to a friend!
