I have an opportunity to buy an RT AC87U for $150 new-in-box from a friend.
One reason is I'd like to experiment with custom firmware but not without a working backup.
The other reason would be to boost performance to a desktop that I cannot easily get on our wired network.
The desktop is on 2.4Ghz wireless N. Performance is OK, but not great.
Distance from router to desktop is about 50 - 70 feet (15 to 20 meters) upstairs with 2-3 walls of wood/drywall between.
Will 5Ghz...
Should I upgrade from an RT N66U to an RT-AC87U ?
