Might buy an Access Point definitive answer please.

I am about to buy an access point. I have been reading as much as I can and from what I have seen there does not seem to be much of a downside unless you actually do not need it.

I have not noticed any of my phones dropping off wifi but I have noticed while on my computer web pages seem to take longer to load now. I am hooked up to Ethernet so the only thing I can think of as to why it is doing this is because of having too many connections.

Here is the access point

I am most likely going to buy. It is for $127 I basically am looking for a definitive answer if I should buy it or not. I have also read that the $127 model can generally only hold around 20 connections. If I have more than 20 connections should I consider buying the more expensive model or is it better to buy 2 of the $127 model.

Thank you guys for any info on this I really just dont want to spend a bunch of money on an access point if I dont need to. I believe this is one of the best models out there so hopefully this will be the right choice.


This is my router that I currently have. The cpu usage never seems to go over 35% not sure if that matters with wifi connection or speed.

Hopefully I can get some info on it. If it can only hold roughly 20 connections that kind of sucks but if it will drastically help that would be nice.

I wonder if 40-50 users is the same as 40-50 devices that are actively running 24/7

I have read that you generally dont want to go over 20 on one. I wish I could get a definitive answer on this.

I believe the post I read was for this brand. I believe from what I have read this is pretty much the best one for the money.
