Nothing you have will tax even an AC1200 router. Pick your poison. I'm surprised how expensive routers have gotten in Canada over the past 3 years. I picked up the R7000 new in 2013 for $179 and now it is $229 new even though it is not new anymore! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not? People keep pushing these types of systems for those asking for suggestions to improve WiFi in their homes? Seems like fair play to compare them especially when they keep getting recommended! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The iPhone 7+ is also only a 2x2 client. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So how is the hand-off on these things? Do each point have to be hard wired or do they have a dedicated wireless backhauls? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It all depends on your ISP provisioned speeds. If your internet package is only 100Mbps, the router won't be able to increase your internet speed beyond what comes in trough your modem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can't. It has nothing to do with your speeds. I find it is the download server. I can start out at 80Mbps and it will scale down to 10Mbps and fluctuate up and down. Wired or wireless doesn't matter. I've seen it peak at about 110Mbps on occasion but it tends to cruise at around 20-40Mbps...

What's the issue here? Taking too long to connect to the servers upon starting the game or slow loading the game itself? If the former, the issue could be that the servers are just slow to authenticate and if the latter, there isn't much you can do since the built in hard drive is pathetically...

There has been no Samsung YouTube app update since April 1st of 2016. The issue was a YouTube issue. Not an app issue. And only a few people encountered it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Please stop speaking for everybody. Why the hell would the Android app or iOS app need the 2160p option when only one known Android phone has a 4k screen? Like I said, I'm not experiencing this issue on my Samsung KS8000 with the built in app or my Amazon 4k TV with its YouTube app. I haven't...

2160p on YouTube works just fine on my Samsung KS8000 with built in app. Also Netflix 4k streams are approximately ~20Mbps. Their 4k HDR is ~25Mbps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that all makes sense to me as that is what I understood from wireless hops. So based on my throughput of ~215Mbps from a Mesh point, theoretically if my ISP speed was higher, I should be getting around ~430Mbps which is pretty much the speed of a single stream AC radio which is 433Mbps...

That would be the simplistic way of looking at it but that not exactly my experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand the effects of wireless hops and how if cuts the theoretical bandwidth which in turn the actual available throughput when using a router and extender scenario as well as Mesh setups that don't have a dedicated wireless backhaul! Is there a chart or resource out there that breaks it...

I agree. I don't understand all this paranoia. Google is not trying to steal my identity, frame me, or destroy my credit! I see a lot of this paranoia perpetuated in the Apple forums. I could understand the argument if I were doing shady things but I'm not so convenience trumps privacy for me...

Lol how do you think you actually get service? They may not be able to factory reset you but they can disconnect you at any time or block you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
