I currently have an ASUS NT66U (Dark Knight) router and I am looking to improve signal strength in my house. I am thinking about buying an AC router and then setting up the NT66U as an access point, preferably on the 5Ghz band. I have a really old DLink wireless g router setup as an access point, but the strength is terrible and I have to reboot it weekly. I don't have many worthwhile AC devices (just two smartphones), so switching to AC is not about speed for me. I understand that AC gives greater signal strength and beamforming.
My questions are:
1) Will wireless-n clients benefit from an AC router's greater signal strength and beamforming.
2) If I have my main router as an AC router, will I be able to use my NT66U as an access point? It seems like I wouldnt since the AP would be replicating the AC router.
Thank you for any insight.
