Asus R3200, or should one wait for R5300 (and if so, why?)

[Bamsefar]

Well for what it is worth: I decided to have some fun, so I got myself a AC3200 - maybe not the best decision, however for the moment I am happy. Might have to change that later when iti is fully configured and I find something I don't like (which seems to be SOP, Standard Operating Procedure, nowdays for everything I decide to test).

Don't want to play this card...

The RT-AC87U is a great 2.4Ghz N450 (N600 if you count TurboQAM) device in 2.4GHz mode once the problematic QTN QSR1000 5GHz radio is discounted...

The RT-AC3200 - take away the second 5Ghz AC1300 radio, and one ends up with an AC1900 device - aka RT-AC68U.. so maybe the RT-AC68U is a better buy - the clients will get exactly the same performance in any case.

AC1900 devices are the place to be for the next few months - I do believe that AC2600 (4*4:4 and MU) will be the next upper tier...
