Some things:
The question is if it's worth it to move from the 4th gen Airport Extreme (a,b,g,n) to the 6th gen Extreme (a,b,g,n,ac). Will the AC wireless + better antennas + beam forming make it peppier? (I doubt my connection will ever saturate AC speeds, but maybe for local file transfers?)
- My place is too small to need mesh networking.
- The only way I'd go to mesh networking is if it offered more features (QoS, VPN, etc) than the Airport Extreme, but Eero, Google Wifi and others seem to be works in progress with features to be added later.
- I'd rather not spend money on an Airport Extreme because it's not the newest technology and Apple seems to be ignoring them, but at the very least Airports are rock solid reliable, so I'll take that.
