About a year ago I upgraded my wifi router to a Linksys AC1200. It sucks! Only works well about 25% of the time. The router is located in the basement right below some HVAC ductwork where the connections enter the house. Bad layout I know, but it's an older home and it's just the way it is.
I have seen that there are new whole home wifi systems with dedicated tri-band connection that talks between the router and "pods"- it's not like a range extender that eats up bandwidth. I know that there is Netgear Orbi that has rave reviews. I am looking at the AC3000 model. I also have seen a system by Google but as I understand it has to have a google account connected to it at all times which I'm not really keen on.
Just wondering if anybody has had any experience with these systems?
