Hello!
New joiner to the forum and first time poster. I just got fiber installed at home and this got me thinking if I need to upgrade my router to maximize the benefits of my new connection (100 MB down / 10 MB up).
I currently have an ASUS RT-N56U which I have been very happy with. I have some 20 devices connected. Only 1 over LAN the rest on wifi.
I have one ac compatible device at home (2013 Macbook air) the rest are N compatible.
Would you recommend me to go for the N66U, AC66U or AC68U?
The limitation I can see on the N56 is range. Measuring speed standing just close to the router makes me pleased but if I move to upper floor measured speed reduces by 75% or so.
Is it worthwhile to go for an AC router now or should i get the N66 at a decent price and plan to upgrade in a year or so or maybe even stick with my current N56?
