I'd say its a bandwidth limitation rather than router speed. 50Mbps upgrade should fix it up. You only need 802.11ac if you have internet speeds above 150 Mbps

Well, I got my upgraded modem and speeds last Saturday.
Everything has been smooth. Even at our heaviest peak usage nothing slowed down this time.
No drop outs or anything, so Im happy there. Maybe I had a bad modem or maybe it was a bandwidth issue. Whatever the case, things are good now.
Heres what it looks like now.
Maybe its just me but, at times certain websites do indeed seem faster and load faster.
But for the most part, not really.
But everything overall does feel smoother ... if that makes sense. I suppose certain sites have bandwidth capped on their end. So expecting 50mbps downloads everywhere all the time is not reasonable.
Just a bit off topic, why did you choose a server grade CPU?
Not interested in overclocking, wanted something powerful yet very stable, low thermal footprint. It's basically and i7 w/ no OC at a cheaper price. It's being used a lot for a home media server till I finish my NAS unit. Never misses a lick. Love it.
Took me frigging ages to set up a stable wifi network at my new appt, but now that I see the sweet interwebs flowing through I can honestly say it was worth the trouble, especially since my last appt had a lousy 10Mb/s.
Now it's waiting for Google Fiber to come to The Netherlands so I can finally stream 1440P HD videos without any lag buffer time whatsoever

Huge difference. I'll soon say goodbye to my 300 mbps plan as the promotion price will soon be over. In the meantime, here's my max throughput out of my phone's
WiFi: 274.82 Mbps out of 433 Mbps connection speed.
