Hi everyone
My RT N66u has served our home well, but it looks like it is time to be retired.
I have been offered a 2nd hand AC88U at quite a discount, however, I also need to be cognizant about the AP we have upstairs - a lowly TP link AP (TL-WR840N) that our fibre provider gave to us, but serving just OK as an AP.
However, it only has 100 mb link ETH ports, so I'm sure its a bottleneck on the entire network?
Most devices connect wirelessly, but I do sometimes need ethernet to VPN into work.
Taking the above into account, do you think I should jump on the single AC88u deal, and then next phase buy an RTAC66u (or better) to act as the backhaul AP upstairs down the line and create aimesh or:
purchase the 2 pack RTAC67U aimesh for just a bit more and have two reasonably fast routers, with aimesh, covering our 3000 ft2 dbl storey home right now?
Thanks in advance
