BTW, the three year old wireless 802.11a/c components are now coming down in price. I'm using TP-Link Archer C7 v2 AC1750 wireless router with Hector (see signature block); the router can now be acquired for less than $100 USD on Newegg and other venders. The newer C8 AC1750 version is ~$120 and performs better according to the SmallNetBuilder.com testing.
If you're considering upgrading to the new 802.11a/c AC1200-AC1900 series of wireless routers, I recommend the SmallNetBuilder.com's articles:
How Well Do AC Routers Handle Mixed Networks?
How Much Throughput Can You Really Get From An AC Router?
