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? |
I couldn't find a 3 spatial stream AC dongle so I settled for the 2 stream ASUS USB-AC56 which comes with a .9m cradle if you want to position it away from the PC and a directional detachable antenna.
