Prior to this modem, I had a medialink http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044YU60M/?tag=snbforums-20
I also had and asus usb-n53 thank linked the router to my HTPC
Hulu worked ok, some mild lagging but nothing too painful
NHL CenterIce was horrible
No wifi reception outside the house (ie smartphone in backyard)
Waited for r7000 reviews, SNB finally reviewed it vs the ASUS ac68 and the R7000 came out on top. I went to a locak B&M store and got it.
Hooked up and linked up in about 5-10 min, setup was a snap! Devices connected without a problem
Using USB-N53 at full potential (maxed at 300 mbps)
Hulu now works flawlessly, NHL Gamecenter is much better.
Can get reception well outside the house
I have a PCE-ac68 coming in the mail today, will update!
******* Got the PCE-AC68 installed
I purchased the R7000 Netgear AC router
I used it with a USB Asus N53 wireless adapter. At 5Ghz, I got 300Mbps per the asus utility (pretty much maxed out the wireless adapter)
I installed the PCE-ac68 just now. Install was easy, just slides into the PCI slot, restarted. Deleted the old N53 driver and installed the new driver from the disc (same version as the one online).
Per the ASUS utility, I am getting 433 Mbps .
A lot lower than the 1300Mbps I thought I'd get.
I played around with the antenna settings and I have full 5 bars (Router is next room over)
Unless someone can advise me otherwise, this does not seem to get the 1300Mbps that I thought 802.11ac would get me. Any advice?
