Because my previous modem did not enable gigabit networking through a hardware connection, I had to purchase a new modem and a new wireless router in order to upgrade to gigabit. The search for a reliable gigabit router is actually quite challenging, and this is before taking into account the problems I encountered with the open box modem that I bought (and have since replaced). Wi-Fi has definitely left ethernet in the dust, but I still prefer a physical connection since it is more reliable and the signal is more consistent. The AC3200 is a dual-band WiFi router that can achieve rates of up to 2167 Mbps (5 GHz) and 1000 Mbps (2.4 GHz). It has eight high-gain antennas integrated right in, which contribute to the increased signal strength.
Additionally, the router is capable of supporting simultaneous connections for up to 128 devices and can provide coverage for an area of up to 2500 square feet. An LCD screen of 3.5 inches indicates the state of the router as well as the WLAN connectivity. Additionally, there are three capacitive touch buttons that allow for quick and precise management. This router supports guest Wi-Fi and uses the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Wi-Fi security protocol to provide you with a safe and stable network environment. Additionally, it allows you to connect visitors to your network.

Where to Get WAVLINK AC3200 Wi-Fi Router?
There is a black-and-white information LCD that is located on the top of the DAX. This LCD displays numerous screens of information. In this location, there are six displays that may be navigated through by using the capacitive touch buttons that are located beneath the screen. Screen one displays the hardware information of your router, which includes the name of the router, the hardware revision, the MAC address, and the firmware version. The second screen shows which of the available ethernet ports are now being used and which ones are not. On the third page, there is a current internet speed test, as well as a couple of icons that represent the number of devices that are connected via 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
The most recent weather report for your location is displayed on the fourth panel to the right. Despite the fact that the display is not constantly on and is not in a place that would make it useful, this is an interesting feature that is pretty much worthless. The information about your Wi-Fi network, including SSIDs and passwords, is displayed on the fifth screen, if you choose to display them. Naturally, I have the passwords concealed from view. On the sixth screen, a comprehensive list of all connected devices is displayed, together with the amount of bandwidth that each device is consuming, both up and down.
