1900 Ac Wireless Router Speed

We needed a new modem router and the Netgear AC 1900 fit our needs well.

Upgraded from 802.11ac router and wireless network was dramatically improved - both speed and reliability. Gigabit FiOS was previously bottle necked by old router but now getting much closer to advertised numbers. No longer having issues with mult computers accessing VPNs and/or simultaneous Zoom calls. Set-up took a few tries but now very reliable. Very happy with upgrade.

We have a n router, not an AC standard router, but, compared to the adapter built into our relatively new laptop, the wireless download speed increased from about 20 Mbps to 36. Our hard wired service from Comcast into the router is about 85-90 Mbps so there is speed loss in wireless, but it's much less with this adapter than the one that is built into our Dell laptop. Plus, if we ever buy a new router, (and possible upgrade our Comcast internet service), we may be able to take advantage of the higher AC band speed.

I had the 1900ac and it worked pretty well except that every so often (a few times a day) it would drop the wireless signal. This does not happen with the 2600ac. I saw where someone complained about that with the 2600 but they didn't have that issue with the 1900 and I am not sure why that is as I have experienced the opposite. This router also can run the intrusion prevention package with no problems whereas the 1900 suffered to keep up with it. I have been using it for a few months now and it works pretty well. The only downside I see and time will fix this is the knowledge base is pretty week on this router but it will improve with time like most of these types of products.

The typical home wireless router puts everything in one box - the router, software, and wireless access points. UniFi breaks it apart into plug and play modules that you can place anywhere independently. This gives way more configuration options which is all straight forward with the UniFi software. For those a little more knowledgeable on networking this is an awesome setup to have. Originally I plugged the UAP-AC-LITE into a EdgeRouterX but after power issues I upgraded to the Security Gateway which is a much better experience. Installed the UniFi software on my Macbook Air, it found and provisioned both, and I was up and running. Once it was configured I now only run the UniFi software when there's a need to check the system. This is enterprise grade with well considered management options and monitoring through an intuitive interface (four WiFi networks, customizable guest web page, deep packet inspection...) Great performance thus far, and with the UAP-AC-LITE using PoE I can have it on UPS while placing it anywhere there is an Ethernet port, like tucked behind the TV :-) Now looking to invest in a Cloud key (an independent little box to run the UniFi software) and a UniFi switch (to give more PoE). I'm hooked...

I use these cables to connect my pc with the new wireless AC router and modem. They look solidly built, are thicker than your average Ethernet cables and are somewhat stiffer (perhaps due to the double protection layer). Simply wanted the best cables and I think these are it. Cannot say anything on the speed benchmarks, but I think when we get Google fiber the throughput may come in handy.

Great router for the price. Saw an instant increase of wireless throughput from my previous AC router.

This router replaces a first generation Netgear AC router and provides strong signal and a step up in speed. Setup through the iPhone app was a snap.

I have had a number of Netgear routers/modems over the years, the AC 1900 is by far the fastest and most dependable one I’ve ever owned. With a family of 5 and multiple devices on the network, there’s been nothing more dependable and has given our family a peace of mind. I highly recommend the AC 1900 to anyone looking for fast, reliable and safe networking options.

i needed up update our wifi for both speed and security. whether with an AC plug or POE, these wireless systems just work great. but then i expect that from netgear.
