I wonder if they will support a wired link between router and satellite.
its not supported as yet but is being considered for a future update
the max rate on 2.4 gig is 400M and on 5 gig its 867M on the lower channels only , the upper channel bandwidth is used for the backhaul
---------------------------
and since its been announced i can now tell you it works as its advertised , its aim is to give a whole house wifi coverage and this it does and does it very well ( yes i was on the beta test team )
i now have my full speed 100/40M fiber connection available no matter where i am in the house via wifi and up till now that wasnt achievable even with the likes of the asus rt-ac88u and other high end AC single point transmission routers
when the beta test group was asked if this solution worked for the the feedback was well over 80% suggested it did for them and work out of the box even in beta stage
its still got that netgear gui which im no fan of and have suggested changes that may or may not be looked at
this is what the mass want in a wifi system its simple , its set and forget , its ascetically pleasing and it just works
a neat point here is the router can be run in AP mode while still using the sat and thus this can be added to an existing wireless router and not create any dual nat situations
i also see in the advertising that they intend to release them as a stand alone router and single sat units so you can add more sat's as needed
the question is will anyone wanting a plug and play whole wifi solution pay $300 , its is 2 devices and RRP is never what we see on the street , but will the price tag scare ppl of ?
