I have my old network IEEE 802.11g standard with 54Mbit / s (gross) -> net, replacing approximately 25Mbit / s by the new standard IEEE 802.11ac. Here I have deliberately been left to right, the currently fastest WiFi to use IEEE 802.11n standard. However, it should be noted that it is also a question of cost, because the current price of about 200 euros (as of 12/2014) is not little. In addition is the fact that you usually clients must also equip with IEEE 802.11ac compatible network cards. The price does not matter, however, for the evaluation.
The construction went as usual and very easy fix. Here, the web interface to configure the wireless router is Asus-typical very clear, self-explanatory and even easy for beginners to understand.
After everything was set up, I have tested my new network directly. These resulted in no disconnections, and I've had to read a few times here. I have to say that I live in an apartment and between the router and PC (same floor) in a straight line (wall between) 3 meters lie, second PC is directly 2 meters away from the router. The unit works perfectly and does its job brilliantly. Large amounts of data are transmitted rapidly. Old devices can be operated via the 2.4 GHz band by the way still.
BTW.
It should be a well aware that the IEEE 802.11ac standard for a max. Range has been designed by 50 meters, on the contrary, the old IEEE 802.11n standard for a range up to max. 100 meters designed. In addition, you should also be aware that these are all optimum values without active and passive sources of interference. If the manufacturer of data transfers speaks, it refers mostly to gross figures, one can well pull off due to error events and protocol overhead the half and then comes to the actual realistic net transmission rates.
So if you like a little more want to invest in a new, modern and very fast Gigabit network, which I can only guess about this device.
