    Best AC router with good transfer speeds for attached NAS?

    Is there an equivalent of the PCE-AC88U wi-fi card that could be used e.g via USB from a laptop? I've been trying to find one, but the best I've found so far is the 68. I wanted to get something that supported the NitroQam technology.

    I'm in Singapore and over here, all ISPs offer 1gbps fibre for around S$50, that's probably 30 pounds. So fortunately this is actually relevant for me :)

    Best AC router with good transfer speeds for attached NAS?

    Thanks a lot for clearing that up. So it looks like the RT-AC86U and ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 were released at about the same time. For the GT, I'd pay $100 more for maybe marginally better speeds, 4 extra ethernet ports and one extra band I might not need. I'll probably go with the RT-AC86U...

    That's confusing, the model numbers imply that the 88u or the 5300 are newer. Isn't the 88U the successor to the 86u? Also, would a tri-band router be better if there are more devices?

    How close is your desktop to the EA9500 router? Any walls between them? I'd be content with half that speed, since my laptop only has a 2x2 card. But it sounds like a 4x4 router would be good, since eventually laptops will get better cards.

    Best AC router with good transfer speeds for attached NAS?

    I conducted those tests when the network was pretty quiet. All the 3 laptops and 5 mobile phones that will be connected support 802.11AC, my laptop has a 2x2 card.

    Best AC router with good transfer speeds for attached NAS?

    When still separated by a wall: it was 5-10 MBytes/s but that was just copying a big 1gb file. Speedtest also matches what I'm seeing transfering to the NAS. Line of sight (5 feet): 175 Mbit/s for line of sight per iperf3, 15-20 MByte/s when transfering a file to the NAS. So it looks like my...

    Best AC router with good transfer speeds for attached NAS?

    Hi, I just baught a Synology NAS, its connected to my router with a 1gbps ethernet link. But I'm experiencing extremely slow file transfer speeds of 5-10 mb/s from a laptop when connected wirelessly via 802.11AC 5ghz. Based on iperf3, the wireless performance (~ 100 mbps) is the bottleneck...
