Buffalo Airstation Extreme AC1900 DD-WRT-Extreme Router WZR updates to AIRSTATION-1750DHP, and it is the second router from Buffalo I've seen that comes preloaded with DD-WRT open source firmware. However, unlike the older features, the new WXR-1900DHPD is simple, unintuitive and includes many non-working parts, such as its USB port.
This may be due to using NXT new build and not the traditional version of DD-WRT. To add insult to injury, $ 200 router is about $ 30 more expensive than the previous launch WZR-1750DHPD, AC1900 router makes it one of the most expensive on the market. England and Australia prices have not been announced, but $ 200 converts to about £ 125 or AU $ 255.
Buffalo also offers WXR-1900DHP, the router with the exact same hardware, but that comes with firmware Buffalo's common stock, for $ 170. According to Buffalo, you can flash the router with DD-WRT firmware used in WXR 1900DHPD NXT if you have the skills to do so. This 1900DHPD WXR-speed Wi-Fi data fast enough in my testing, equivalent to those of other AC1900 models. Coverage is not the best, but to make it stable for the Wi-Fi signal, the operation for days without a break at all. In all, the WXR-1900DHPD has potential and may make a big router in the future when the DD-WRT firmware NXT further developed. For now, it is either too expensive for a simple router, or too lacking in features to qualify as high-end routers. You have to wait for the price drop, or just go with a better option than this list of top 802.11ac router on the market.
The WXR-1900DHPD looks great. Appeared in all white and designed to stand vertically on removable stand. On the one hand, he has a little lid that opens to reveal some of the mounting groove, if you want to hang it on the wall. Under this cover, you will also find the default settings that allow you to use the router directly, and login to the interface to further customize. The router comes with a regular 4-port Gigabit LAN (for wired clients) and 1-Gigabit WAN port (connected to the Internet source, such as a cable modem) on his back. It also has two USB ports: one USB 2.0 on the rear and one USB 3.0 on the front. As mentioned earlier, this port does not work with the latest version of the firmware NXT.
Buffalo said it might be more useful in the future when the USB-related functions are added to the next one NXT build DD-WRT. Another feature that nonfunctional is a small switch on the bottom of the router that supposedly changed his role from the router (the default), to an access point and also to bridge the Media. In my testing, regardless of the position switch, Buffalo has always worked as a router. At the front, the router has an array of LED lights that indicate the status of the Internet connection, Wi-Fi signal and the router as a whole. There is also a button labeled with AOSS. Normally, the other routers Buffalo, this button helps to quickly connect Buffalo Wi-Fi device to a Wi-Fi router. However, as we have experienced with other features of WXR-1900DHPD, this button does not do anything, at least for now. As a Wi-Fi router, the new Buffalo is a true dual-band router that has a top speed of 1,300Mbps in the 5GHz band and the 2.4GHz band of 600Mbps, which qualifies as an AC1900 router.
Out of the box, which WXR-1900DHPD can start working immediately if you use the default settings. All you have to do is plug the router's WAN port to an internet source such as a modem, turn it on, and you're good to go. If you want to customize these networks or other features of the router, you must access its Web interface. To do this, point the browser on a computer connected to the router's default IP address (which 192.168.11.1) and login with the default password, which is password. Now you will be greeted with an all-new NXT DD-WRT interface, which I found to be well organized and responsive.
DD-WRT is a well-known open-source Linux-based firmware for wireless routers and access points. Firmware unlock all the potential of router hardware supported '. While traditional DD-WRT offers a set of features and controls, the new DD-WRT NXT not. In fact, I feel a bit lacking and disappointing, at least in the case of Buffalo. The interface also does not have the depth of customization. Most settings and features can only be enabled or disabled without the ability to set up a perimeter. Some major features of the router, such as Quality Control, VPN server, Mac filtering and so both are also lacking in the ability to be adjusted, or require you to know a lot about the network to make them work. I could not even find a way to restart the router using the interface. And because many changes will only take effect after the router has been restarted, this means I can not manage remotely. Overall, if you just want to use the router with the default settings, you will have no problems. But if you want to further customize your network to the max, which is the only reason you want to open-source router firmware to begin.
The WXR-1900DHPD not blow me away with its performance, but it's pretty good nonetheless. In the 5GHz band, it registered sustained real world of speed Wi-Fi close to 350Mbps close range. When I increased the distance of 100 feet, still average close to 220Mbps. This is the second on average between Buffalo Airstation Extreme AC1900 DD-WRT router and fast enough for most basic Internet activities include high-def movie streaming. In the 2.4GHz band, it prints faster than 60Mbps to 130Mbps and is almost near and far distances, respectively, also about average for routers in this class.
