Hello everyone,
This is a question for owners of the AC3100, as I want to change setup at my house, and thinking about picking the AC3100 up. So here's what I want to do... Currently I have a netgear R8500 I wanted to put on second side of my house, and improve wireless on that side of the house. However Netgear doesn't offer a "Repeater" mode.. Which doesn't help my issue at all. So I was thinking of returning the R8500, and picking up the AC3100 to run in "Repeater" mode.
So the plan would be to have the AC3100 connect to my main router via 5GHz band, then have devices on the other side of house connect to the AC3100 mainly via 5GHz band, as most devices support it. So my question is.. What's the current state of the AC3100 wirelessly from owners of this router? As I don't want to waste time exchanging the R8500 for the AC3100, if it has any major issue with wireless currently. So I wanted to post this thread, and ask, because I haven't been on the forums here in a while to know, or not.
