How does the channels work ? The router automatically assign wifi devices to other channels ? For example laptop channel 1, smartphone channel 2, and so on ?Don’t cancel the Asus, you are fine with the choice either way. I just didn’t want you to get the TP-Link. As for support Netgear will support the R7800 for a long time just like it does with the R7000 even now.
As for bandwidths:
2.4Ghz is 20 or 40 with 20 MHz being more stable when facing interference, also you don’t end up eating so many channels in a congested area and in turn causing interference yourself.
5Ghz 40MHz is “N” and “AC” is 80 & 160 MHz channels.
Not much supports 160 MHz other than the latest Android phones and the newly released Intel 9260ac adapter for laptops/desktops, I’m actually considering getting the 9260ac since it’s now for sale.
How's the 160MHz better than 80MHz ? By a lot ?
So you say leave the asus order as is and dont bother with the refurbished X4S (Or new if the refurbished wont work well) ?
Btw, theres new Netgear X4 for sale on Amazon 129$, is it good ? I left my Asus order as is anyway, but I was just wondering.
