(skip to after Disclaimer if you just want the technical details) When I arived home for my month-long winter break, I realized my parents had a problem: their two year old wireless-N router couldn’t quite handle the up to 20+ devices they and my siblings would have connected in the evenings. It was an Asus rt-n66u, which I had been quite happy with, but it just couldn’t keep up, and anyways it only supported wireless-N and wireless-AC is the New Cool Thing™.
