Good afternoon all

After much deliberation, I decided to finally get a "proper" router as my Superhub has too many little niggles that stop it from working properly.

I managed to get the Archer C9 for £50 from Amazon Warehouse (On the last day of the 30% off promotion at that) so am hoping for an improvement in Wireless stability, a much better interface and overall control over my interwebs.

Firstly, does anyone here have experience with this series (The Archer series in general)? I see that the device has advanced QoS options but using them requires turning a feature called NAT Boost off, is this worth it?

Also, I see there are DD-WRT builds for this router, again, is this worth using? I don't mind tinkering and will play with this router a bit when it arrives on Monday, I'm just hoping to benefit from some experience if possible as I've been lazy and haven't used a separate router with VM kit for a long time!
