Bridging back to R6300
My new main router is the Netgear R6300. At the other end of the house are three devices with wired ethernet ports. I've connected them to a gigabit switch. I am looking for an affordable device ...
OK, thanks. The answer is no, there's no other Netgear product that will communicate at 802.11ac speeds (other than another R6300, and it's not clear the firmware is fully tested for that yet).
My solution was to purchase a 802.11n access point from another vendor that supports client mode (doesn't repeat). N is fast enough for now.
The R6300 is a great high-end home router. It's got superb range, dual band, excellent security firewall features plus 802.11ac capability as this starts showing up on new wi-fi devices. So I'm keeping the R6300 and I'm happy.
