Stephen, I know that an AC dongle will not connect to my Shub 2 at AC speeds. I want to know which AC dongles will connect at N level at 450meg as I don't want to waste money on an old N900 dongle that won't give me the best speeds when connecting to AC routers I may find out in the wild and will need replacing if I get a router upgrade at any point.

Qas, you understand my position. Thing is, I cannot find out what speed of AC dongle would support 3 streams and I have tried to find out. If anyone knows what speed AC dongle I need to buy (ideally from a high street store, but via Amazon if I must) then I can make this happen. It is just a lack of good info that's holding me back.

So, to summarise, I need an AC dongle that supports at least 3 spatial streams (ideally sourced from a high street store) and so will connect to a 3 spatial stream N class router at 450meg (the Shub 2).

I love the look of this new Netgear dongle, with a nice fold out aerial, but will it do what I want? As usual, the product description helps very little.

Can any of you gurus guide me?
