[TriLUG] WRT1900AC

[Steve Pinkham]

They're claiming OpenWrt and "open source" support in an 1900 class
802.11ac router, which would be the first 802.11ac router to be
supported if that's true as far as I know.

On the other hand, nobody on the openwrt forums seems to know anything
about it[1], and we don't know if it will have actually have fully open
drivers or not yet. The main difference between openwrt and dd-wrt is
openwrt developers don't do binary drivers, but Linksys might mean
something different by OpenWrt support from the OpenWrt community.

You can put me down as intrigued, but I'm certainly not buying one until
1) real openwrt support is confirmed and 2) it does well on the
smallnetbuilder review for wireless performance.
