Thank you for your post.

I'm going to invest in a new USB HDD for sharing files as that would be useful!

I got my C9 today. Despite being "Used and repackaged" it came in the original TP-Link box and was completely new in the original plastic film etc. My only problem was 5Ghz didn't work. I tried to change firmware, SSID, security etc and it just wouldn't broadcast. In the end I tried the good old "take the power out for 5 minutes and try again" trick and now it works perfectly.

UPnP is doing the trick, NAT reporting Open for my Xbox One with no messing about as is my PC via games like The Crew. My Superhub is no happily in modem mode and hopefully wont need to be out of it. If I have time to tinker I may play with the QoS settings but don't see a dire need just yet.
