Some things to be aware of before buying:
- Broadband companies in Australia offer speeds varying between 6 mbps and 100+ mbps. If you are the only user on your network you won?t see any difference in download speed.
- You will see a big difference if the network has a number of users (provided your router 1900 mbps capable).
- Using this Wifi Range Extender with an older 150 or 350 mbps 802.11n router will only allow it connect as fast as the router allows.
While AWUS1900 is backward compatible with dual and single antenna routers, best performance is achieved when pairing with an 802.11ac router capable of beamforming. This is a special type of technology that can concentrate stronger signal in directions of connected devices as opposed to just radiating a signal evenly in a 360 horizontal pattern.
