I agree. Linksys got bought out by Belkin from Cisco a few years ago. Ever since then, Linksys has been overpriced and underperforming.

802.11ac is going to be the standard for a while more. 802.11ad is still on the bleeding edge, so it'll take a few more years if and when that becomes the general standard.

If you're a Costco member, they sell a R6900 which is basically a renumbered R7000 (to prevent price matching).
The TP-Link C8 would be much cheaper....

You'd be better off replacing the main router with 802.11ac.
If you like TP-Link, you could get a C8 or C9.
I prefer Netgear. The Nighthawk R7000 has been my router of choice for a while now....
