    You're wanting an AC device? 

    Not an AX device? 
    What are you using it for that you need access controls? 

    You can also check on amazon for netgear renewed devices.

with AC turned on "Block all new devices from connecting" I can only get 150-200Mbs DOWN 23Mbs UP max.

 

 

Tested how?
