Changing router from R6220 AC-1200 to Netgear Orbi RBK20
I have been using the R6220 AC-1200 router since about 3 years and it was perfect for my small apartment. I just moved to a larger apartment, and during the move something broke. Now the router keeps...
Thanks for your reply CrimpOn. Yes amazon is the largest online store in India, but they do not have wall mounts for the Orbi. I found a couple on other sites, which source from China, but they cost USD 40-50 and delivery timelines are 20-30 days. I think thats too expensive for a plastic wall mount.
I am still considering the regular Netgear router AC2300 (AZB01LFSDZCU) which is running at a 50% flash sale today. So its cheaper than the Orbi which is permanently running at 50% sale :) Costs about USD 115 for the regular router vs USD 170 for the Orbi mesh. Both are amazon india prices.
Considering I don't have any wifi dead spots and only two low speed spots, I think a powerful router like the AC2300 would be better suited, as I could get a stronger signal through concrete. Even if I get about 50-60 Mbps at those spots from the current 20-30 Mbps on my existing Ac1200, I will be happy.
And the AC2300 has wall mounting support on the back.
I bought the Nighthawk AC2300 and it is perfect for my needs. The low signal spots as well as the dead spots have good signal now, and I can use the 200 Mbps from all corners of my house. Even with 2 concrete walls in between the router and the device, I barely see any loss.
