I am currently on StarHub 500mbps, with provided router D-Link 868L.
Currently using this provided router which seems quite okay for my usage, but wondering if I should be changing it, and wonder what are the uses of those super high-end routers? (Why do you buy it for, just to max out the specs, or future proof, or?)
For my usage,
- Can support more than 7 wireless devices in my house (typical 3-room)
- Support 2.4GHz and 5GHz (ac?)
- Speedtest download more than 400mbps even on wireless on Macbook Air using ac
- Appear to have no blind spot around the house - no need for repeater
- Can support my 2-bay Synology NAS
Wonder what features those higher-end routers have?
- Extra long range?
- Super fast (max) speeds - 1300Mbps? 1734Mbps? which most people probably won't need?
What can I not do on D-Link 868L, that can be done on Asus AC87U for example?
