AC is great for a solo office, but once the # of provider exceeds 5, you will have some problems. That's also what I heard from my biller who has a lot of customers using AC.

I don't know why so many people get defensive when it comes to wireless or other different setups. smile I am sure it works just fine for you Cindy. The author didn't say that wireless didn't work. He merely suggested changing to wired as a troubleshooing step. Certainly, you would have to agree that there are more potential issues with wireless than wired. If changing a few computers to wired, then you have your answer.

While the number of computers can add to bandwidth problems, there is no five provider limit with AC. On the contrary, there are practices of 15 to 20 providers that do just fine. It would be interesting to know whether the practices your biller is talking about use wired vs wireless networks.
