    Just curious about the home network users here have?

    I currently have a Gigabit router with Wi-Fi N at 2.4GHz. I have a 5GHz Access Point, plus four gigabit switches (1x8 switch, 3x4 switch).

    I recently ordered the new Asus RT-AC66U to supplant my Intel 7260 wi-fi card I should receive any day.

    Exciting times, the thought of actually being able to cut the wire without sacrificing significant transfer speeds.

    AC66U as main and N66U as repeater, just set them up a few days ago. Major overkill for my family, but w.e since I got them for as-is price.

    Linksys E4200v1 hooked to the crappy modem/router combo supplied by the ISP, well the modem part is alright. I might add an onion pi to it for the fun of it.
