Wireless Joey question?

[JM42]

according to the equipment page on the dish network web site the super joey was listed as having 80211ac.
It was shown as 7.00 per month...and now has been removed and replaced with the virtual joey.

I'll go by the published spec sheet, and all the CES info and not a quickly removed web page that was probably cut and pasted placeholder info. Anything is possible, but I'm not believing either the feature or price seen.

To me, I think the less equipment involved the better. If you do not need the HIC, why use it! I see a lot of issues in this forum with wireless, bridging, etc. I have all my Hoppers and Joey connected Ethernet to my router by Cat5 cable. I don't ever have any issues.

I have a HIC in my setup and it works great. My 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys are all connected to the internet with one simple device.
