Best 802.11ac routers

The 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard (aka 5G Wi-Fi) is the latest on the market and offers up to 1.3Gbps of wireless connection speed. First introduced during CES 2012, the new standard can now be found in many routers. These routers, for backward compatibility, also come with Wireless-N (802.11n) and hence support all existing Wi-Fi clients. Hardware clients that are 802.11ac-capable, however, are still very scarce on the market. Following are the top routers that support the new 802.11ac standard on the market. Since there are not many of them, all of those on this list are the best of their kind.
