“Can this device give me 1GB wireless My internet subscription is 1GB up and down speed, my current router will give me the speeds via Ethernet connection, but my WiFi is only at 250 Mbps, can this device provide 1GB wireless connection or top out at 750 Mbps or less?”

You are limited by the max speed of the network and what both devices can connect at. If you have n spec and ac spec equipment the router will slow down to n speed. If all ac spec you are still limited by the slowest connecting device. Expectedly you will top out less than 750 Mbps, until the next generation of Wi-Fi equipment. As the output is theoretical max not real world testing. But the better equipment gives better range/ higher speeds and has better handling of multiple clients to improve speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If your really need 1 Gb, use wired connections. Wireless speed is dependent on too many variables, and both the router and the wireless adapters have to matched for maximum peed. Throw in interference, signal blockages from the structure and you are unlikely to ever reach the theoretical maximum speeds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this thing can do up to 3gb per sec
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Gigabit is usually only via hard wire (Ethernet) Also be mindful of their terminology. This is how ALL company's make their money. Gigabit vs Gigabyte. The second part of the speed lie is the fine print, "up to 1 gigabyte" or "gigabit Ethernet". Those are two different promises.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You're going to connect to one of the 3 radios (2.4 ghz @ 600mbit or 5 ghz @ 1300mbit each--this adds up to 3200). These are the theoretical maximums. The 3200 is lots of marketing blah...but even so, this thing is still about as good as it gets, wireless-wise. You will probably never connect that quickly, unless you are the perfect distance away, and both your device and router are in the same Faraday cage blocking out interference (haha-joke-laugh). Second, the speed you connect at will not be exactly what you'll be sending/receiving files at. PCWorld did a review and managed to eke out a little over 500mbit with the router <10 ft away. If you need to fully use your gigabit connection on a single wireless device, this probably isn't the product for you. It's possible you could come close to using all the bandwidth if you had an optimal connect from 3 different devices to the 3 separate radios... but the only option today is to use a good ethernet cable to one of the gig ports on the router. This IS the router you want if you have a lot of devices, and/or an AC bridge across the house with a few wired devices (BD player, appletv, TV, HTPC--though most of these don't use all at the same time) on that, and you want to separate traffic from say your file server. The bridge I have is the Netgear AC1200. Unfortunately as usual with all things wireless... your headaches will go away (mostly) once you go wired. I think though that this really is the next best thing when coupled with a good bridge.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a gigabit Internet this router can go up to I believe 3 GB per second but you have to make sure that your wireless ethernet card in your device has AC protocol not the N or the G
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I get 1GB download with this router without any problems. I can't speak for that fast of an upload speed because it isn't offered to me. I'm very happy with it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The speed announced is combined between the two radios. There is no need to have a gig on Wi-Fi anyway.
