5G Wireless Router Same As Ac

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...

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 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.

You should use wireless n or ac type

Just what I needed. Several times a day I was having wifi drop outs with my current router. I was first using the wifi built into the modem from the cable company. Then added an older AC router as a repeater. Still had issues. But this new mesh style router fixed it all. No more drop outs. The only thing I wish I could do is dedicate the 5G band. I would like to only have the 5G connecting to my TV. But with this router, it automatically switches between the 2.4/5 bands as needed. And finally, the installation and setup was effortless. So simple. I've been a fan of TP-Link for some time. And this just keeps me coming back.

Match it with a Netgear router and experience true 5G. Easy to install. Excellent suppport in the phone and they speak English!

Huge upgrade over my previous router which was a Netgear XR1000. The two 5G bands are a game changer. There are also no longer any dead zones in my house. Just fyi, this is a beast of a router in size as well. So make sure you have adequate space wherever you intend on placing it.

The router works well, it allows me to separate devices onto the 5G network, avoiding the cluttered 2.4G network. A great improvement over the service provider router that I gladly returned.
