Sonic Factory Equipment has been horrible...what is better?

pretty cool breakdown of what would be needed to get even fighting chance of 500+ mbps - http://superuser.com/questions/742250/h ... hout-wires

Of course, as they are WiFi devices, you won't see full Gigabit speeds, but you should be able to achieve hundreds of megabits. (The 900Mbps+ throughput of your Gigabit connection is only possible on wired Ethernet devices - WiFi doesn't go that fast, yet.)

Actually, it does:

802.11AD on 60ghz (millimeter wave) offers the promise of greater than Gigabit speeds, but do you have a client device (laptop, tablet, phone) with this technology in it? Acer reportedly was offering a laptop with 802.11AD, the model P648, but the Acer website doesn't say that 802.11AD is supported on that model in the specifications section. Looking at the TP-Link site, I don't see that they offer any expansion cards which support WiFi-AD yet either. (And if you've got a desktop, in the same room as the router, just use Ethernet!)

In theory, with simultaneous 2.4g and 5g, a client device could achieve gigabit speed, but I've never seen a setup that'd do that. Anyone got one working, and able to speed test at full gigabit speed over wireless? I'd be interested to hear!

Not worth it IMO. Shared medium and short range. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless ... ed?start=3

Wireless never works as well as ethernet. Run some ethernet through the house, and if you must, put some local access points in individual rooms.

You know what Dane, we're not all engineers. You and Sonic's answers to these questions or complaints is absolutely ridiculous. I pay $75 a month when your ads are for $49, my security is outdated and so is my modem. Comcast is looking better and better every single day.

Great job of replying to a 6-year-old thread. Complaining without containing specific issues you have. Comcast better? Which part? The money-grabbing data caps? The "privacy" they provide? Supporting a monopoly? The constant need to get a lower price?
