R6300 vs RT-N66u?

[DaveMishSr]

Hey guys. NewEgg is trying to tempt me into buying the Netgear R6300. They just emailed me a 20% off promo code with free shipping. That means that I can get the R6300 shipped to my door for $171 after taxes. Should I do it? Is upgrading to 802.11ac worth it with this router? I love my RT-N66U as it wirelessly streams HD video across my house faster than I can view it. Besides, my TrendNET TEW-680MB media bridges are N900 so I would have to upgrade there as well in order to get any benefit from upgrading. So what do you think?

If you are happy with your current setup, leave it alone. There is no benefit to moving to draft 11ac at this time unless you are going to use two routers to form an 11ac bridge.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. If I can watch streaming HD video now without buffering, ever, why change?
