Central Jersey. That's it
I use it often too. Only downside is transferring large files to the phone. I have a weak router and it takes a while to transfer 1GB or 2GB files. Im pretty sure that will go away as soon as I replace my router with an AC capable one. But yes, the app is fantastic and its free

What makes you think having an AC router will make your speeds increase? The LG G2 doesnt have an AC chip. Just abgn and 5Ghz band.. all you need is N router or above...you wont see AC speeds on a the LG g2..

I actually came back to reply that the G2 does have Ac chip in it but i see that was already addressed. Needless to say, the max AC connection speed Ive seen is 433mbps which is rather low for an AC chip specially now that the s5 can connect to an AC router at 877mbps. I dont care but i do care that transfering 1.5GB roms do take time lol. but i got myself an OTG cable to it doesn't matter anymore, Back to topic, this app is awesome and i highly recommend it.

For transfering large files, I prefer to use app like es file explorer and set up a ftp sever with the phone rather than using airdroid. For this, this get a higher download and upload speed.
