nMP owners - what 802.11AC Router/AP are you using and how fast is it?

Mac Pro 6,1 6C 1TB D500

• Connection Type: Wireless 802.11AC
• Access Point: Airport Extreme AC
• Average xfer: 30-35MBps
• Peak xfer: 45MBps

I have three Airport Extreme AC routers in my house - two are in AP mode and one is a router/AP.

APX1: router (main floor)
APX2: AP mode, wired (basement)
APX3: AP mode, wireless bridged (third floor)

Internet--->APX1 ---wired---> APX2 ))) wireless )))> APX3

My nMP and 15" 2013 rMBP are connected via 802.11AC to the network and I'm able to get an average of 30-35MBps or so off of my NAS which is great but I wonder if I can do better. I have read great things about the Netgear R7000 and I was wondering what kind of performance increase I might see by replacing my Airport Extremes with the R7000?

I should say that the 30-35MBps isn't peak. The highest I've seen is around 45MBps.

I have had some issues with my nMP and the Netgear 6300v2 as it would only connect using 5Ghz a instead of n or ac which is really annoying. I have to say the Netgear has a pretty crappy management interface as well.

Personally I am going to get another Apple AC capable router as they have always been quite solid

Asus AC-RT68.

It's fast.

Faster than the Apple Airport Extreme with wireless AC.

It's not as fast as Gigabit Ethernet.

It's good enough. I don't want to run a 200-foot cord.
