Hi:
I want to set up a faster local network for a Windows 8.1 laptop. My modem is a Windstream (the DSL provider) Sagem 1704N combination modem router. http://support.sagemcom.com/site/livret/RM_253272861A_Fast_1704_ENG.pdf
I am considering one of these routers.
I D-Link AC 3200 ultra Wi-Fi router http://ca.dlink.com/products/connect/wireless-ac3200-tri-band-gigabit-router/
II Asus AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RTAC3200/
http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RTAC3200/
[FONT="]1 My W8.1 laptop uses an Intel Duel Band Wireless AC7260 which is 802.11ac. Could this be one of the early ACs that would not match the speed of an additional 802.11ac USB Wi-Fi adapter. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]http://www.intel.com/content/www/us...al-band-wireless-ac-7260-bluetooth-brief.html
2 Is the 2nd wave in use, yet? Im not sure what that is but I believe it relates to faster hardware and a faster, 802.11 AC protocol. I didnt note that anything was advertised as a wave 2 device.
3 Are the above routers wave 2? Will faster routers be available this summer? The more I read the more confused I become.
[FONT="]I will greatly appreciate any comments or advice. Please indicate if you believe a better way to achieve the fastest local throughput.[/FONT]
