I decided to open up the laptop to take a look at the adapter and to my surprise it is the AW-CE123H! I have no idea how this is possible as I am POSITIVE I have seen the chip in my laptop several times before while cleaning the fans and changing thermal paste. and have seen my connection sync...

AW-CB160H

So I went with the TP-Link C3150 after much reading and research, ordered and received it today (Prime Now is pretty amazing). I haven't explored it much, but I disabled the 2.4Ghz wireless and kept the 5Ghz in AC mode only. Channels are set to Auto and Bandwidth on 80MHz. You were quite spot...

Thanks for the links but I have seen those before, and the reason I was asking for other comments was because the review on SNB looks great but another review on PC Mag shows the TP Link much weaker than the SNB comparison "The C3150 delivered solid throughput rates on our 5GHz close-proximity...

No comments on the C3150 / AC88U comparison?

Does anyone have an opinion on the TP-Link C3150? I've been having a look at that and the Asus 88U for my 1 gigabit connection. I wont be getting a 4x4 adapter yet, so I will just be trying to get the best and fastest possible connection over my 3x3 network adapter. The C3150 has top scores...

Regarding the theoretical max of 433 Mb/s per single channel AC, on the router charts filter on this website, is this regarded to as the 5 GHz Downlink Profile (this is for a single channel right?)? If so, I would assume that the higher the number on those charts, the better it would be for...

Definitely sounds like a greater device. Thanks for the post. I wont be having the issue of range though, as its a relatively small flat. Given that the difference in price between the 68U and AC3100 is 140, do you really think I would see that much of a boost between the two sitting at 5-7...

Thanks for clearing it up, that is what I suspected. Thanks for the recommended routers. I'm pretty sure I currently have a 3x3 broadcom wifi adapter in my laptop as I used to connect at 1300 mbps to my BT Homehub 5 prior to switching apartments and ISPs. I don't have a desktop so I'm...

This is my current speed when I connect via LAN to the first port on my router. So I don't understand when you say domestic routers don't achieve 1 gbps. Do you mean they don't hit the exact 1024mbps? It's fine I'm not aiming for the exact max. When you say 3 channel and 2 channel is that...

Router will be in corridor, and I will be using a laptop. So I prefer if I can have that speed wirelessly throughout the house for other devices as well. I can already get around 870/870 wired to my laptop so the hardware isn't an issue. Thanks for the lengthy explanation. I was currently...

I'll be sitting relatively close to the router, roughly 5 meters. So would I see a difference with Tri band router (with Tri band network card) vs dual band router? As in what's the boost in Mbps? Also, why synthetically and not via Internet? Btw I'm in the UK too, London. And you mean 10Gb/s...

I now have 1 Gigabit symmetrical internet at home :) and looking to make the most of this over WiFi. From my research, it seems like 400-500 Mbps seems to be the max achievable over WiFi, with like an Asus RT-AC68U. But my question is, if I was to purchase a Tri-band router and install a...
