I currently own the Linksys EA6200 AC900 and had 2 main questions:
1. Is it worth upgrading to a Tri-Band router? Right now my household uses this router for 3 smart TVs, an iPad, 2 smart phones, and 3 laptops. My current ISP has me set up with up to 60 Mbps downloads and up to 6 Mbps uploads. The next paid tier/package is up to 100 Mbps downloads and up to 10 Mbps uploads. Their top tier is up to 200 Mbps downloads and up to 20 Mbps uploads.
2. With the AC900, is it best to have both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz antennas set to a mix of wireless-n and wireless-ac? Or would I benefit more by switching both to just wireless-ac?
Thanks all!

What about the devices - laptopa, smartphones etc. Are these 802.11ac compatible? Which band is used primarily?

If you are absolutely sure that every device in your house supports wireless-ac, then go ahead. But I think you just put it a mix of wireless n and ac, if the device supports wireless ac, it should connect to wireless ac, instead of wireless n. Besides, if anyone decides to go to your house to visit and uses your internet, their wireless device may not be modern enough to support wireless ac.
