In order to take our testing methodology up to the next level, our storage and networking test platform has seen a radical upgrade take place. To push our networking and storage testing that bit further we have removed the Ivy Bridge platform and in its place a Supermicro server grade motherboard accompanied by an Intel Xeon CPU has been installed. This upgrade will allow use to test storage and networking products to a higher level in either a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012 environment where applicable.
Test system:
We would like to thank Corsair, Kingston, Lian Li, Asus and Netgear for supplying us with our test system components. Many different software applications are also used to gain the broadest spectrum of results, which allows for the fairest testing possible.
Software used:
Whilst the WRT1900AC offers support for a number of open-source operating systems including DD-WRT and Open-WRT, the stock firmware which ships with the router is nice and easy to work around, as we found when I reviewed the EA6900 a couple of months back. In addition to the web management pages, a mobile app is also available, as found with many brands today, giving better flexibility in how the router is managed.
