^^ Yeah, that's what I meant by "AC-capable".

Looks like I'm going to be shopping for a new router sooner than expected - since Comcast's last round of speed increases, I've been getting around 35 Mbit download speeds over a wired connection, when I should be getting a solid 50 Mbit. They've just doubled speeds once again over the past couple of days in my area, so I should be getting 100 Mbit now, but I'm still at 35. Poking around online has not too surprisingly confirmed my suspicion that I'm essentially getting throttled by the inability of my elderly router to fully utilize the greater bandwidth. A newer model will fix that, and perhaps more importantly, should also significantly boost my wifi speed and range.

The new modem doesn't seem any faster, by the way.

Giving credit where it's due here...

We just got an e-mail from Xfinity, with the subject line: SERVICE UPDATE: We've increased your speed! This must have been in the works for awhile, and the reason for the new modems that we received many months ago. I was instructed to use the reset button on our modem, which was quick and easy, and sure enough, it does now seem to be noticeably faster.
