    Recommend a fast 5Ghz, AC1900, 3x3 access point (or router as AP)

    I have no interest in "believing" in things that aren't true, I have an open mind. But there seems to be a factual basis and real-world tests indicating these routers achieve good speeds, even with 3x3 clients, such as here...

    Recommend a fast 5Ghz, AC1900, 3x3 access point (or router as AP)

    As per the first post in this thread my MacBook Pro has an inbuilt Broadcom 3x3 client adapter. While it is not 4x4, the testing of the 4x4 access points, and also GP-SE's experience, seems to show an increased throughput even for 3x3 clients compared to using 3x3 access points.

    I don't see any in the EAP series that would offer same speeds as C3150 or C5400... is there? EAP330 is about same price as C3150 where I am. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey GP-SE (or anyone)... any thoughts on the TP-Link C5400. Where I am it's actually not a whole lot more expensive than the C3150. But haven't been able to see any proper tests. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TP-Link Archer C5400

    Just curious if anyone has since had the chance to compare the C5400 vs C3150. Mostly interested in single client 5Ghz speeds, but also wondering about how the different antenna designs might affect these speeds.

    TP-LINK AC3150 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Reviewed

    What's the difference between v1 and v2? All I could find was this which didn't say much: http://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?92054-Archer-C3150-v1-versus-v2

    Recommend a fast 5Ghz, AC1900, 3x3 access point (or router as AP)

    In which case I should see a sweet improvement over my Asus RT-N66U running Tomato firmware :) That said I get about 35-40MB/sec (megabytes/sec) LAN file transfers with this setup already (a couple metres from the unit direct line of sight) which I think is pretty good. Can you tell me what kind...

    Recommend a fast 5Ghz, AC1900, 3x3 access point (or router as AP)

    Can you elaborate? Don't the SNB tests show that even 2x2 and 3x3 cards can show improved throughput with 4x4 routers compared to 3x3 routers, even if they don't achieve the 4x4 maximums? Thanks...

    Thanks. I edited my post above with some more info while it seems you were writing yours. At the end of the c3150 article though it says this: In the meantime, if you already have an AC2600 router, like the top-ranked NETGEAR R7800 or its #1 ranked predecessor, TP-LINK's Archer C2600, there is...

    Recommend a fast 5Ghz, AC1900, 3x3 access point (or router as AP)

    Nice, thanks for the recommendation - those are really impressive speeds. I hadn't been looking at rates higher than AC1900 as I thought that was the maximum that a 3x3 card could handle. But maybe it's also a question of CPU limitations on some of the slower devices. We don't have the C3150...

    Hi, I'm upgrading my home network to a powerful pfsense wired router. Currently my wifi is provided by my main router Asus RT-N66U running tomato and some Linksys E3000s as access points. I'm looking to add a FAST access point. My internet is slow but my main interest is in 5Ghz Wifi>LAN...

    Mikrotik hAP AC vs Asus AC1900P

    I also would be interested in this. Did you end up choosing one? Functionality-wise the HAP AC seems like a really great device. Though from what I've read may not be the fastest wireless.

    Updated 2016 PfSense build with 4 Intel LAN,8GB RAM,120GB SSD, 10 watts - $257

    Hi, Just wondering if you are still happy with your Qotom? I'm about to buy the i5 version with 5250U CPU. A fair bit more expensive but I'm overspeccing in case I repurpose it as something else later. Just wondering if you are still happy with it? Also what would you recommend in terms of how...

    If you want more powerful, Qotom also have an i5 fanless model the Q355G4 with AES-NI though a bit more expensive: http://www.qotomchina.com/product/60622744992-221385386/Qotom_Q355G4_Mini_Computer_Desktop_Core_I5_5250U_Processor_Dual_Core_with_4_Ehternet_NIC_LAN_Barebone_System.html I am...

    Understanding Macbook wifi card speeds

    Hi, I currently have a network of Tomato-firmware based router and access points, but am looking to upgrade one of the access points for improved wifi speed. I do a lot of LAN transfers to/from my Macbook to other Macs on the network and a QNAP NAS. With the Asus RT-N66U using 5Ghz I usually...

    Why shouldn't I get a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X?

    Tell me about it. But it's better than the $1200/month my office has to pay for business 10mb connection.... (!) Thanks, that's exactly the info I was looking for.... They don't have any kind of online demo site for the EdgeOS GUI do they? Out of interest what were you using before?

    Why shouldn't I get a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X?

    Indeed, and I pay $100 a month for it and it's by far the best option available. Welcome to Africa my friend... Yes I figured that... but wasn't clear if there were other differences between the two in terms of software functionality. Also, going forward it's possible I might move and have a...

    Why shouldn't I get a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X?

    Hi, Just came across this thread and looking for some advice on which Edgerouter model to get. My current setup at home is: ISP Fiber modem at 10 megabit up/down > DMZ > Asus RT-N66U as Router running tomato firmware > Netgear GS110TP gigabit switch with SFP, other GS108Tv2 gigabit switch...

    SFP module for Netgear GS110TP?

    Looks like you are correct the multi-mode one is running an SC-Type connector. What is preferable about being LC ended? (I've no idea) Thanks for clearing that up... So the checklist is identical transceivers, multimode, 1000Base-SX, LC ended.... How about a pair of these...
