Welp, the day is upon us.

Just talked with my installer who is standing in my livingroom and hooking up the ISP 'managed router ' (told them to put it in for install and I would replace with my own)

Catch is, the ISP router only has ONE wired port and I need two. So, I need to find something local in stock I can take home tonight so that my entire network can run gigabit (I have a switch but I think it will limit me to 100mb)

So here my choices are the EA6900 and the WRT1900AC

Any chance the EA6900 is better now? Its a hundred bucks cheaper, even though I have to drive to CoMO to get it, I can get the WRT1900 here in town but god damn its high priced.

I really would likely prefer the asus but no one local stocks it AFAIK.

We have shit to choose form here, wal mart, best buy, k mart, target, and shitty local PC shops that are all stuck in 1996
