Now that we have a device with wireless ac capability is anyone considering upgrading to a new ac router?
If I remember right Jeff (jnjroach) has one of the new Netgear Nighthawk routers. That's the one I've been looking at. Anyone using one of these?
What do you mean "Now that we have a device with wireless ac capability is anyone considering upgrading to a new ac router?"
I just bought the new TP-Link Archer AC3200 and it works beautifully with every device on my Network except my 2 SP3s. Yes, it connects to the either of the 2 5Ghz AC Bands and it connects to the internet on both of those bands. But try to access the router control panel on the 5Ghz band - no chance and moving files around my network is painfully slow. However, using the same router when I manually set this piece of crap Marvell Avastar Network adapter to 2.4Ghz only everything works fine.
Just a few moments ago I set the Marvell back to 5Ghz and the system showed me a connection speed of 780. then I took a 335 MB file off my NAS and tried to move it to my desktop (It took 1 hour 35 minutes) 780 mbps my rear end. Then I set the card to 2.4 and the system showed me a connection speed of 144 mbps. I took the same file and moved it from my NAS to Desktop and it took all of a minute.
As far as I can tell we dont have a fix for the AC Problem. Just nice looking numbers when connected to the net. The real test is tryong to move files and this is still useless.
If someone has found a solution I'd be grateful
