Note: For now, I will only consider these 3 routers. I have no intention to go for other brand like asus, synology, D-link, etc. No need to care about the USB ports.
Between C2300, A9 v6, and A10, which one would best suit for my usage (I can get them for the same price, so cost is not an issue!)
Usage: local streaming server (full hd to 4k content), local network – connecting devices together to transfer files (via wifi or cable), high usage of latency-priority application like VoIP and video call (most important). There will be about 11 clients/devices using the router simultaneously. These clients can use whatever application/task they want.
Besides, how will the router perform in these two setup scenario?
1) All devices connect directly to the router via wifi. Assume that there is 2 walls in between devices and the router. The distance is about 18 meters. I know these are not detailed information, but there are too many factors that affect wifi coverage and I don't know what to include.
2) All devices connect to access point (AP). The APs are connected to router via cable. (This scenario is more about how will the router handle the clients, since stuffs related to coverage and transmission are now done by the ap)
Optional requirement: Good coverage for the room directly below where I put the router, the distance is about 8 meters (2-story house). This is optional because I can use AP if necessary.
Side questions:
Is the difference between 3 and 4 streams (3×3:3 / 4×4:3 vs 4×4:4) noticeable?
If possible, can anyone upload UI of C2300 advanced wireless setting (both 2.4 and 5 Ghz), and system parameter in the latest firmware (2018/09/03). TP-link emulator version is already outdated.
Here are the wikidevi link in case anyone need.
