Just curiosity. Ive got a NF4V which is stuck with single band and AC. Ive seen these on trademe. Clearly I can buy H659 router for $15-30 due to the number of vodafone installs.

But just curious if I could turn my old router into a dual band AC, OR use it as a repeater which could be placed in the one area that 5ghz may struggle.

no. attaching one of these to your modem will do nothing for you.

fair enough.

i think if anything an AC repeater plugged into the wall in line of sight down the hall would be best. especially if I have a router that could use beaming to get the 5ghz acwifi in that direction?

I beg to differ you ask the same questions but using different words
I would do some googling on what/how makes Wifi work and come back with questions worthy of asking
Sorry to be blunt, but your question is plain bazaar

BTW - NF4V = 11gn only (2.4Ghz)
11ac = 5Ghz, which the NF4V is not capable of
