“Would this router work in a small business environment with three wired DVR security camera systems, five wireless IP cameras (2x5Ghz, 3x2.4GHz), and various other business related connections. Currently using Netgear X8 with some lag in camera monitoring”

The AC 2200 advertises 2.2 Gbps while the X8 supports up to 1.9Gbps. Will that 300 Mbps fix it or is it a difference in the cores or other details? The X8 is a dual core compared with the Quad Core. Yes, faster dual cores, but the AC2200 having 4 cores should be dedicating a core for traffic cop vs. shared core, etc. The X8 being a few years old, though with similar tech may be lagging in some areas of advertised compatibility. Since you have so much traffic going on and the variety of frequencies with the Ethernet, to really push the router I would try a VELOP with the AC2200. Especially the 2 cameras at 5Ghz. If they are located anywhere outside the room the router is at, the 5Ghz struggles behind a couple walls. If you can get a VELOP node close to them, that should offer dividends to get you past your lag. Yeah, cost of the Router plus VELOP - AC1300. You can only take it into consideration if the pain to stay the same is greater than the pain to change and possibly fix the lag. There is not guaranteeing or telling with any of these configurations and your specific setup.. Depending what type of cameras, their specific chipsets and how they integrate with the mesh. Ideally everything would be on one proven platform with compatible and tweaked hardware to integrate with the specific appliance. It's still a mish-mash for small business with this tech. I us IP cameras wireless and wired and there are a huge difference in all of them for advertised and actual throughput and performance. They all say one thing and do another. I would hate to say, but you really have to just try it out and if you don't like it, take it back. But that is almost what you have to do in this case. There is just no way unless you run into another user who has run an X8 with very similar setup to what you have and has tried the AC2200. ....Good Luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. And there are higher capacity routers from Netgear as well. This should easily handle around 20 connected devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think there would be quite an improvement just by virtue of the new hardware. 64 bit architecture, and Quad core processor, (with sub-processors).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work. I dont foresee it being an issue whatsoever since it is backwards compatible with legacy devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I currently have 6 Arlo pro 2 camera's, 4 tv's and numerous other wifi devices connected and I have not noticed any lag. This is a great unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
