    Definitions

    Is there like a glossary where I can find what a particular benchmark mean so I can understand the articles better? Like what is WAN to LAN throughput, what's LAN to WAN throughput what's total Simultaneous Throughput etc etc?

    Forgo high-end router totally and just go with APs?

    Yep, that's what I thought too. So would the 2nd option be better? Sacrificing some performance for better coverage?

    AC3200 worth the upgrade from AC87U?

    Actually I am really not sure which of it fits my usage best. Is there like a simple way of putting it? Like for me I have many devices of various "currency" (some old some new), and not always at the forefront of technology, but also want something fast. so AC87 is more future proof, IN THE...

    AC3200 worth the upgrade from AC87U?

    ok so from the little I understand, am I right to conclude "crudely" that if I have different devices of different "currency" (some maybe old some maybe new) AC3200 will be more suited for me since those clients usually only have 1x1 and rarely 2x2 and it allows me to group my slower devices...

    AC3200 worth the upgrade from AC87U?

    I have taken a look at the article, and I am still quite confused. So from what I understand and correct me if I am wrong. So AC3200 and AC2350/2400 are basically 2 different technology. AC3200 is older and proven technology while AC2350/2400 is a newer technology. I don't quite get what's...

    Questions about NAS

    AC3200 worth the upgrade from AC87U?

    Can you help me understand this in a more layman's terms. So you are saying 3200 > 87 when you have many different wireless devices whether they are on 5ghz or 2.4ghz? How many is many? Also what do you mean by "4x4 desktop client"?

    ASUS RT-AC87U Dual-band Wireless-AC2400 Gigabit Router Reviewed

    Am I right to say that you can use both the USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports at the same time with two different external hdd? I am quite new to NAS, but am I also right to say that by connecting external hdd to the router, you are in effect making a "DIY" NAS? If my internet is down, can I still...
