Wireless AC

So.....

Anyone know when we're gonna get that Mythical 7Gbps ?

Currently,  Fastest router is labeled for 1300Mbps for the 5ghz-band, on the box.


The ac1900 routers. 1300Mbps, 5ghz, + 600Mbps, 2.4ghz = 1900 (their math, not mine)



However,  we're only getting ~300Mbps @ 5 feet, and ~130Mbps @ 20 feet

My N router gets 80Mbps @ 20 feet..  so it'd be stupid to spend $150+3*$30=$240 for 50Mbps more on my 3 laptops.




I ask cuz I returned my original R7000 a while back after being disappointed, but recently helped a buddy setup his AC68, and basically got the exact same disappointment.

Of course I didn't tell him that. haha

Good reviews and they say basically don't buy those

Yeah and even if the protocol is there the router itself has to be able to give enough throughput. I even discovered this can be a problem for LAN, where the router isn't good enough to give all the proper throughput that LAN provides. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/charts/router/view see: WAN to LAN throughput

Hrrrmmm.....

Good thing I'm too poor for the wan-lan throughput of my router.
