Hello Mattias,

360 Mbps is a performance drop? What awfull speed do you normally have then? I have 40 Mbbs and it is more than enough for me.

Makes sense...

You could but it would be a bit of an overkill wouldn't it? "Dumb" APs are no all that expensive and they are IP version agnostic...

So stay tuned....
