  • Abstract:  It has been a while since we last looked at wireless network routers but there really hasn’t been all that much movement in this field as of late. Now that 802.11AC has started to become mainstream, manufactures can no longer just market that “Wireless AC...

  • Superb 4x4 performance, Fast enough in other areas too, Excellent software
  • Lack of 4x4 802.11ac hardware, It's an expensive buy

  • Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...
