At the moment, we have a 100 base T ethernet switch. I tried a Gigabit switch a few years ago at the dawn of Gigabit network cards, but it seemed buggy and not all that much faster in the end despite Cat 6 wiring. Maybe things have improved and I wonder if AC performance on our wired units would improve if I upgraded. Our other hardware is new, and Gigabit capable. Are any of you able to offer any real world comparisons between life on the two different networks with AC?
Obviously, putting in a gigabit switch is not going to help if the users are all connecting wirelessly, but even the hardwired stations see speed issues, especially in viewing imports and printing.
Similarly, for the wireless users; did anyone se any significant improvement by going to 802.11n?
