I've used Google Wifi for a long time now (specifically, Asus OnHub central router + 3 Google Wifi mesh nodes) mostly because it's super easy, works well, and has just enough features for me to scrape by.

But lately I've been wanting a more feature-filled router, and today I decided to go with a Linksys WRT1900ACS (I would have gone with the WRT3200whatever but I read that there were some ongoing issues with that one).

I haven't had a chance to start setting up, but I wanted to ask here if anyone has switched from Google Wifi to a WRT1900ACS or similarly specced router, and how you felt performance differed.

I have anywhere from 15-20 devices on my network at any given time. These include my phone, my tablet, several Google Homes, laptops, my home server, two game consoles, my Roomba, etc, operating on a 1000/50 home cable connection. Google Wifi handles this well enough - can I expect the same from my new router and OpenWRT?

Thanks
