Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
hi, wondering if anyone has had experience with the Amplifi Instant or Amplifi Hd Gamers edition systems?

I have been using Google WiFi but here in the UK on the BT network it won’t get an IPV6 address and the features turned off, google said it’s to improve ‘compaibity’.. it used to work totally fine.

My uses are streaming lots, but I also stream games across the the Nvidia GeForce Now service to my Nvidia Shield TV. And st the same time someone watched TV Tennis in a Fire 4K Stick which can use a fair bit of bandwidth but the quality’s stunning.

Anyway my games run st 1080P currently, I get a decent 73mbps broadband connection.

Now if I use homeplugs st 100mbps for my Shield it works fine with the Fire stock steaming more or less, but I wanted to use WiFi and remove the homeplugs.

So o was looking at the gamers HD system but theirs not much info on it or reviews.
Then I looked at the Instant system as it offers some good features too, would this work with streaming if I set the QOS for the Shield? Also can you set up the QOS to permanently favour a device like my Shield?
Or would I need to use the HD Gamers system to get good performance?

Anyone used these systems at all? And no I don’t want to use Orbi, I’ve been there and done that and just hated the bulk of the devices.
 
Ok, I’m throwing this out there, if I got an Amplifi HD router and one HD wireless MESH extender, to replace my Google WiFi 2 puck setup, will I get at least the same performance? Or will it actually be better?
