My review :
Let me first start off by saying this review is not for the more tech savvy people out there, this is for those of you who think just by using this router it will magically boost your wifi speeds.
After reading many of the lower rated reviews I have come to the conclusion that most of those reviews are from people who do not understand wifi technology. You think because you purchased a high end router your internet speeds should automatically increase. That couldn't be further from the truth. If you are still using wireless b or g devices, and oh boy do many people out there still have those ancient devices, then you will still get crap speeds over wifi. Even if your device is wireless n capable, if you are on the edge of your wifi network, your router might downgrade you to g or b speeds since you're so far away and communication is so slow at that range.
If someone built a high powered router the size of a washing machine, and installed magical antennas that shot that wifi signal a mile down the road, GREAT! You can now connect to that routers wifi signal a mile away, but can YOUR device send a signal back to it at that range? Many people forget that wifi is a two-way communication, doesnt matter how strong your routers wifi signal is, if your device cant talk back to it, its useless!
Now think of a wireless b device as a pedestrian, a couple of wireless n devices as cars, and the router as the road. Now imagine that the n devices/cars are streaming/driving along a road just fine and all of a sudden that b device starts loading a webpage or even tries to stream a video...that pedestrian just walked onto the road and caused all the n devices/cars behind him to slow to his speed. THAT is the number 1 cause of wifi related slowdowns. Many popular devices operate on the wireless b protocol, Nintendo wii, some older Nintendo DS models, many older wireless printers, some older ipods.
Even your neighbors wifi with his wireless b devices can cause unwanted slowdowns and interference on your network, you need to get a good wifi analyzer and try to pick a good channel for your router to broadcast on. Even though many routers have a setting for AUTO CHANNEL selection, some routers only automatically find the best channel during initial boot up, and don't actively auto search for the best channel as the wifi environment changes. Is the best wifi channel at 10am in the morning going to still be the best channel when all your neighbors and family come home from work and start using their devices at 6pm? Don't think so. Also if you live in a large apartment complex, LOL @ wifi, just hardwire your equipment if you can. Dont complain to your ISP when your wifi environment is pure trash, because there is nothing they can do about it.
Before you look into upgrading your router, you first need to upgrade your equipment on your computers by replacing old legacy network cards with newer n or ac cards. If that is not an option there are USB adapters that can provide you with n or ac connections. Once you know your devices are capable of achieving your ISP delivered speeds, then you should look into upgrading your router. Of course there are some devices where there is just nothing you can do about its slow wifi adapter, that's where the different bands come into play
I have my printer, wireless security cams, and any other random older wifi capable device connected to my 2.4ghz band set to operate on g/n ONLY. I will NEVER expect good throughput on that network. Next I have my game consoles either hardwired or connected to my first 5ghz band operating on n/ac mode only. Then I have any other device that is AC capable connected to my second 5ghz band set to operate on AC ONLY. I have Time Warner Cable 300/20 internet. I get about 30-60 download speeds on my 2.4 network. Between 150-250 on my first 5ghz n/ac network. And a consistent 320+ on my second 5ghz AC only network. Oh and a constant 340+ hardwired =)
Also if your ISP only provides a maximum throughput of something like 20 or 30 or even 50 mbps...you DO NOT need a router like this, you would do fine with a basic N router for 30-40 bucks. This router however is freaking awesome and I am extremely happy with my purchase! What ISP's need to do is educate their customers more on how wifi works and customers need to educate themselves on what their devices are capable of! I feel sorry for Google fiber! I can only imagine how many people ordering their gigabit service and are still using old legacy devices LOL...what a nightmare for Google. And shame on you people that are buying a router like this and still using 10/100 ethernet cards!
