>UPDATE. I see the following:
>AC1900 speed (Dual band up to 600 + 1300 Mbps)
>so, it means that AC 1900 is the speed; not coverage. Therefore, probably not that important for the router reaching the 2nd floor.
Hello,
Anybody can suggest a good URL for testing the wireless connection speed? I only found xFinity pages for testing the speed and I would like something independent of the ISP.
Also, you get too results, upload speed and download speed. For a teleconferencing (zoom, gotomeeting, etc.), which is more important Download or Upload?
TIA
