Should I Upgrade USB-N66 on USB2.0 Device to AC?
I will be upgrading my network to 802.11ac in the coming weeks (thank you income tax return!), and have been determining if I should be upgrading my adapters on my devices that only support USB2.0?
At the present time, I am using the ASUS USB-N66 and am getting 10-12MB/s (80Mbps - 96Mbps) real world transfer rates on the 2.4Ghz band throughout my network. This is to and from my wired client. Unfortunately, my current setup only has 10/100 LAN ports.
With the limitations of USB2.0 in devices that cannot be upgraded, would it be beneficial for me to upgrade to AC adapters on said devices?
