D6400 Remote access to configure for high speed fibre
Hello
have installed genie app on my iPad , with the intention to remote connect to my friends router to help optimise it.....can this be done ? Or must I be within Wi-fi range of my friends router...
Had hoped that someone with knowledge of this router could help me, but alas I was wrong.

Not sure the default security, if it’s WPA then the throughput is limited to 45mbps
That would be about wireless, not the subject High Speed "Fibre" Internet link.
WPA ... to be exact WPA2-AES is the de-facto standard since about September 2004, main stream since early 2006.. Unlikley creating a massive performance impact - your are some some decades to late were WEP indeed made some differences.
The D6400 is the xDSL sibling of the R6400(v1) - routers which can reach some 700+ Mbit up/downlink NAT routing/firewall handling, and the wireless side does perform like any other common AC1750 class model - with a decent client, under low interference conditions, you must be alble to get much more.

Indeed. I've had a D6400 since the beta tests. (Now pensioned off because I prefer separate modems and routers, and the D6400 is too slow to boot in modem only mode.)
The D6400 is a capable, but not spectacular, DSL modem/router.
As the manual says for the D6400, WPA2-AES "is the default setting". So, it takes some frigging around to put it into WES mode.
There is support for the D6400, including a manual, somewhere at the end of this link:

With BT's DSL at least, the D6400 recognises the network and configures itself with minimal input from the user. Even an inexperienced user can set it up. Indeed, allowing someone who thinks they know better near it is probably a bad idea. Best left alone.
