    Router upgrade - too much choice!

    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...
