Managed to pick up an AX86U on a good deal where I live. Only a few dollars more than the S so went with it. Have read around the forums looking for a basic setup to improve default settings I have found a lot of info! Need to get my head round it all but this was the latest from @L&LD...

Thanks everyone.

I will look into this certainly. Is it easy to change servers and can you set up some devices on smart DNS for streaming? Thanks

Thanks for the response. Can’t use my old router as it isn’t gigabit. Also, keeping the isp router with it’s firmware isn’t something I wanted to do. Wouldn’t going this route also mean possibly ending up having to buy 2 devices rather than 1 if the AP doesn’t work upstairs? Going on 1300sq it...
