The AC1800 WiFi router is exactly what you need to speed up communications on your wired and wireless network.
Routers should be replaced at least every 5 years to ensure you are receiving security updates (yes routers get those) as well as the fastest possible connections for your devices.
The AC1800 uses dual bands to power different devices. Older or slower devices like ring doorbells or wireless thermostats use the upgraded 600Mbps 2.4 GHz band while streaming devices like tablets, phones and televisions can use the ultra-fast 1300Mbps 5GHz band.
This router also features 4 full gigabit connections for your wired devices. Almost all new computers have gigabit ethernet ports, so upgrading your router to these connections can make your wired network upto 10x faster than older 100Mbps wired technology.
