I have but I haven't been able to really discern any value. I've had issues of slow loading times when using smart connect. Smart connect would sometimes make the device switch frequencies while doing I was using the device. I think it's a great feature but it doesn't seem to be as seamless as...

Your speed will be affected by the least compatible device. Having N/AC configured means your router will fall back to N and not AC if a device connects with N. Setting the router as AC will force your devices to use AC. N/AC is fine but know you're handicapping yourself by allowing N as a...

It's a complicated mess lol. I went through a very similar situation. From what I understand, you have to have the router set to AC only to experience 80mhz. I run an AC/N on both 5ghz radios. Running with N is considered Legacy and can't utilize 80mhz. N needs 40mhz to connect devices. I'm not...

I have the Astro A50 as well and my router is a little over 10ft away from my base. I have a triband router tho so I can't say I've ever experienced issues with devices and my router. I can say that there are times when my headset cuts in and out and I figure it's the interference but I came to...

Oh and I tried an alternative setup in the meantime which is actually working pretty well based on a review from this site of the TP-LINK RE450 extender. I bought it last year but I stopped using it. Well I hooked it up and set the 5Ghz as a backbone and turned off the broadcast for that...

I didn't go the static route. It seems that some other guys smarter than me attribute the issue more to how Apple devices use wifi. They also mentioned the limited 20mhz on 2.4 being an issue for Apple. Apple seems to want to control wifi on its own terms. I did have better experience after I...

So I had mine for about two weeks before I returned it. I read a lot of reviews before ordering and felt this would be my best bet for my home. I wanted to get away from extenders and powerlines and saw the impressive dedicated backhaul performance and was sold. I put the satellite in my bedroom...
