If I can get the AC4000 to behave I’ll use that as the main router because of it’s MU-MIMO capabilities as well as three bands. I’ll probably load a third party software on the old 880L and use it in my shop to replace an ancient LinkSys that’s out there now. That’ll give me a chance to play with the third party software without messing up the “experience” for my wife here in the house.
I appreciate the comments and the help. Thanks to all. I probably won’t have time to work on this until next week so for now, the old dlink is back in service but I’ll close this out after I get a chance to implement the suggestions that have been offered.
Thanks again to all that offered help and suggestions!
