Given that you've got the bits already, it probably isn't going to take a lot to try this out and find out whether using the EA8500 as an access point and relieving the WNDR3800 of WiFi duties gives the WNDR3800 sufficient margin to meet your performance and control objectives. If you don't need Gargoyle's QoS the WNDR3800 might have enough grunt for the gateway role without the WiFi.adrianjt wrote:b) have ea8500 serve wifi to study using linksys firmware (where there are about 10 connections ie x5 iphone 6s + x5 surface4) ethernet bridged to existing wndr3800 AP running gargoyle (wifi off).
& apple airport extreme 5th gen (in my office) also ethernet bridged to wndr.
Would that take strain off wndr3800 whilst still allowing me to manage and monitor all devices using gargoyle?
Would the wndr3800 constrict throughput noticeably?
