New Router/AP to pair with 2013 Retina MBP

[tbutler@ofb.biz]

There isn't that much difference in 5 GHz performance between the top routers. Look at the profile plots. Here's one comparing the R7000 and RT-AC66U.

Buy from a supplier with good return policies. Amazon allows 30 days.

Thanks, Tim. Those charts do look a great deal closer than whichever other ones I was looking at. I appreciate all of the advice!

The only way to know for sure is to buy two routers and run your own tests. There are just too many variables in environment and clients to definitively say one router is better than another in any specific case.

If you want to try an AC1900, I'd go with the R7000. For an AC1750, the RT-AC66U.

Nice chart. Statistically there is a significant difference between the two.

What factors are involved?
