    Don't have an AC router yet but wondering which one performs better.
    Use a fairly new NETGEAR routers and don't plan to upgrade to AC soon since it works very well but when deciding which one to order with new laptop (CLEVO P650SG).
    Overall just wondering which one has the best performance without spikes.
    Router uses both 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ channels.
    Thanks

    My experience has been Killer trumps Intel for AC performance and consistency. Intel seems to have better/more stable Bluetooth.

    I've never experienced any issues with the Killer cards I've had.

    Others on this forum swear by Intel, having experienced issues with Killer.

    Apparently the new 7265 V2 is improved.
