Hi all,
Here's my current setup:
Moto SB6141 running Comcast Blast Plus at (now!) 150/20
Into a Ubiquiti Airrouter which provides great coverage in a 3500 sq ft house and all the way to the neighbors (rural, little to no interference)
I also run a 100T line to a gigabit switch which is hardline to my Macbook Pro and Obihai phone device.
We have about 15 devices on the router, though 75+% runs through my laptop and my home office, hence the ethernet connection.
With the new increased speed for the Comcrap, my ubiquity router just doesn't cut it due to the lack of Gig ports. I'm considering upgrading to an AC router with gig ports.
AC devices in the house: Maybe a 2 phones? Maybe a chromecast (not sure if they are AC). Neither my MBP nor my wife's are new enough to have AC wireless.
Most of the rest of the devices are used for netflix and the like. 2 Chromecasts, a DVD player, phones and tablets, and a wireless printer. We also have 2 thermostats on the network. Again, not bandwidth heavy.
Everything else is N at best and we rarely/never notice any issues with the connection or wifi. Stability is key for me given the fact that I'm on video calls most of the day.
So:
1) do I upgrade the wifi router to an AC router like the RT-AC68U (or open to other suggestions)
2) do I use my current ubiquiti as an AP and purchase something like an edgerouter to handle the gig line going into my office?
Thanks in advance! Look forward to the advice.
