@Ave I never had it fix a problem. But it should work for at least some people
@JourneymanGeek with T+13days. "@Hennes wait...real USB display cards exist? (outside displaylink...) "
I think I have one. At least it was from before I ever heard of display link, it is not small and it gets hot.
And it never worked well. Freezes. Artifact when you rotated to portait mode etc
Last time I had that was a loose SSD. (as well as random crashes). Time before that was my mothers laptop. Repairing itself on startup, then that screen. It finally worked around the 51th reboot and repair action
Technically because it's a dual-band device. 802.11n allows up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 300 Mbps on 5 GHz, hence N600. This is an accurate, but theoretical value for a router where you could have multiple clients using either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, but a single client can't use both at the same time.
It doesn't reflect real-world speeds. It only represents the theoretical bandwidth possible with all of the bands supported on the device.
I've got a NETGEAR R7800 (AC2600) here—it does 802.11ac Wave 2, 4x4:4 MU-MIMO. A mesh extender (EX7500) was later added to get better performance towards the back of the house.
The router has been in use for four full years and continues to deliver excellent performance and very little in the way of problems.
I know it's just about time to upgrade to 802.11ax but I'm not 100% sure the technology is mature, it's still very expensive, and only two devices in the house (my phone and ThinkPad) support it.
And there is little benefit to upgrading beyond an already fast 802.11ac router when the underlying Internet connection is 200 Mbps (typical speeds 220-240 Mbps).
Had the connection been 400 Mbps or faster, I would seriously consider upgrading.
I can reliably saturate the Internet connection over Wi-Fi in most places at home I work in, so there's essentially no benefit. My desktop is connected via Wi-Fi and it's not often I've felt a need for Ethernet.
Of course, Ethernet is ideal, but it's really inconvenient to run Ethernet cables across stories and we never did get network cabling installed in the wall.
