Linksys WRT1900AC Router

Phoronix reports that Linksys is finally shipping its successor to the highly popular WRT54G wifi router. The original spawned a number of open source router projects, including DD-WRT , which partially shares its name. Features of the new model:

• Wireless-N & AC (2.4 & 5 GHz)
• 1.2 GHz dual-core ARM processor
• 128MB of flash memory
• 256MB of DDR3 RAM
• 4 exchangeable external antennas
• 1 gigabit ethernet port + 4 gigabit ethernet switch
• 1 USB 3.0
• 1 eSATA/USB 2.0 (somehow sharing the same port)

Although the specifications and commitment to open source are welcome, the retail cost of $250-$280 may turn some away.
