Ac1200-100nas
Hello,I have AC 1200-100nas router and my Spectrum speed is 57 and 9 after reading comments I’ve noticed this is only good for 100mbps and my spectrum is 200mbps so with that being said,I’m looking for a new router.Little info.house sq.ft.is 1,500 with 4 TVs-and 5 other electronics SO what one should I buy because we get a lot of BUFFERING 😡😡Thank you,Mary

A couple things.
1. AC1200 is a speed not a model
2. mosts ac1200 devices should be able to max out the 5ghz at the 94mbps. If you're only hitting 54, it makes me think you're using 2.4ghz. 2.4ghz is more sensitive to interference and is a much slower network. If you're getting buffering, try switching to the 5ghz
3. you gave us houses size but not what you're budget it. If its not a whole lot, I've seen the WAX204 on amazon for pretty darned cheap. It isn't going to be the fastest but its gigabit and an AX router for a pretty reasonable price.
Thank you for responding.My biggest concern is streaming TV’s because of the buffering so is this the router for that?Im not really understanding all the technical terms (sorry) just want the streaming to end,nothing worst then watching a movie and that happens.Money isn’t an issue for good router.Thanks again
What are you streaming on? what device?
And are you connecting to 2.4ghz or 5ghz for the band?
Those are key questions.
2.4ghz is a slow network and sensitive to interference. So its not a good network to use for streaming.
