Hello andykerslake
Thanks for sharing these tips on what is working for you.

Did that fixed your problem? I am experiencing the same problem as you described, sudden and regular disconnection on some of the ipad at home. Other devices seem to work with no problem but I ADS are suddenly disconnected (I have even the latest version)
Thank for the feedback you can provide me
Yes it did fix all the disconnects. The problem only affected Apple devices.
I have not tried turning back on the 2.4Ghz as the current setup works, and I do not need that band.

Just bought unit from Best Buy while on sale and got it up and running ok.
Wired connection was over 100Mps while wireless was a paultry 2MPS.
Went into my laptop's wireless adapter and switched from "Prefer 5Ghz" to "No preference" and BAM! 120MPS on wireless too.
I have to admit, as a new customer i am really impressed with the system, router on one corner of the house and satellite in the hallway second floor, have signal everywhere in the house.
I am following the threads with the Internet drops very closely while under the 15 days return policy.
If i were to take this back, i guess i would look into Velop from Linksys.
