    AC86U (Q for Merlin)

    Gotcha, I'll research it to make sure. I prefer the 'more stable, less updates' path as well. I recognize you choose 384.x for wireless dropouts, but as that isn't a factor for me at all (I have it turned off...) s'why I asked. I'll probably just try it as well, knowing you overall had...
