Please don't inundate me with alphabet soup responses. As far as I know, SSI is either just a misspelling of your female sibling's nickname or has something to do with Social Security.
I have a Netgear WNR2000v2 router I've been using for some time. To it, I have hard-wired connections to an eight-port switch to which are connected two TIVOs, one DVR from Comcast, a Windows 7 computer used as a music server, and a TV. (The DVRs and TV use Internet only rarely, but the TIVOs, DVR, and music server use it all the time.) Wirelessly, I connect two Windows 7 computers, (a third plus two IPODs when the grandkids are here), one Apple computer, a TV, a printer, and an IPAD. I don't have a clue if any of those receive 2.4 or 5 Ghz, although the hard-wired connections are surely straight ethernet. They all work except the wireless Internet randomly drops for a few seconds.
I am looking at the Lynksys AC1200 or AC1900. Can I truly expect faster response if I make that move? Improved response on the IPAD would be a genuine plus because it is now so slow that it is useless in operating my music server via LogMeIn or Splashtop. I looked at Netgear's products, but their quality and support are getting hammered on Internet user reviews. Not so much Linksys.
Thanks ahead of time.
