The
latest standard for networking gear is known as 802.11ac. Devices
that conform to this standard offer Wifi that conforms to both the
2.4 Ghz, as well as the 5 Ghz standard. Most of the new networking
gear that is being introduced, conforms to this. It offers the
advantages of less interference on the 5 Ghz frequency, and faster
speeds.
The
only real downside of the 802.11ac devices is that not surprisingly
they cost more than the previous stuff, the so-called Wireless-N.
While one approach for the cost conscious is to purchase a previous
generation device, the Netis WF2710 offers a way to get into an AC
router, for a price that is even lower than some Wireless-N routers.
It
is currently available at NewEggfor $39.99.
