I'm getting "Gig" internet for the first time and the property is ~3200 sq ft, so I'm concerned about the streaming speeds - especially multiple devices at once.
The internet provider offers their own router for $10/month but it makes more sense to buy your own at that rate. They recommend an 802.11AC router but that "no wireless routers currently are capable of delivering a full gigabit of speed."
I currently have the NetGear NightHawk AC1750 R6700v3 but have noticed lag with my current 300 mbps in a smaller property. It claims to be able to handle speeds of 1750 mbps but I routinely see issues with streaming lagging and even websites time out.
Is there a better router to handle Gig speeds and would you recommend a mesh network like Google's Nest offerings with several access points in a larger property?
Our internet is mainly used for my wife's work and 1-2 streaming televisions for Netflix/Hulu
Thank you!
