When you talk of setting static DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 are you talking about the "Use these DNS addresses" instead of get automatically?
I understand the 1.1.1.1 is CloudFlare, but shouldn't the secondary DNS be 1.0.0.1?What is the 9.9.9.9?
Other than that you just increased the IP address table, but who needs more than 100 devices?
Not sure why this would have any effect?
I have created DHCP (static - LAN only of course) IP addresses for all my devices so that they always have the same IP address.
I also did this so that I could forward ports for Xbox Live, but have been reading that this isn't necessary any longer if UPNP is enabled?

Home is 6500sq ft. I recently enabled these Beamforming and MIMO and fast roaming options and they don't seem to make any difference, good or bad
