dirtyferret Our ISP do provide crappy speeds and charge us the most in the world. Your 200 mbps down is 8x faster then most people have in the States, I have 60 mbps down. The thing with clients is, most are still just 1200 AC years after AC has been released. Fact is a multi AP & hardwired internet set up will outperform AX for practically all users including you from reading your posts on your multi AP set up.



I also have three floors and use my old N600 router as an AP for the upstairs bedrooms. It delivers my full 60 mbps while my AC router covers the first floor and basement office.

Oh, sure, wired is vastly superior, no question about it. Sadly I wasn't involved when this house was built and there are no drawings/blueprints, so I don't know how the cable ducts run. I've tried to pull cables, but the cable ducts don't seem to go anywhere in some cases and the rest don't end up where I need them to, so I'm screwed in that sense.And yes, your ISPs are not particularly nice at all. In fact, you have some of the worst and most expensive internet access in the developed world. I suffer every time I go to the US, especially cheaper hotels are horrible.The thing is, don't expect anything more than 2x2 AC1200 clients, at least not for a few more years until there's a process shrink or two in the manufacturing tech used to make the power amplifiers and Wi-Fi chips. Why? Because they produce too much heat today, so it's not possible to cram these things into smartphones and tablets, although it might work in notebooks. Then again, Intel and the industry in general seems to want to move to M.2 1216 modules which are soldered onto the PCB, which limits what can be put on there.That said, MU-MIMO helps more devices get better Wi-Fi performance, as long as all your Wi-Fi devices that are actively using the network supports MU-MIMO, but that's highly unlikely... 802.11ax should further help improve things, but again, support for 802.11ax is needed first...
