Hi cssaus,

 

The Optus AC800S is capable of getting upto 600Mbps downlink in good conditions.  Having the tower on top of her building will give her good signal quality.  The AC800S can be powered 24x7 with the supplied wall plug.  The AC800S is also compatible with the NETGEAR DC112A Smart Cradle.

 

Kind Regards,

    Hi ArodiD.

     

    Thanks for your reply, all looks good.

     

    Did a speed test to OPTUS on my iPhone X in the apartment and got 158 Mbps download and 36.2 Mbps upload and a ping time of 14ms. I wish my OPTUS cable modem gave me that level of performance! Who needs the NBN.

     

    Cheers,
    CSSAUS
