My only complaint is 'weak' wifi on the new gateway the ISP supplied me with, silly me thought being new it must be better than the old one.

So the NBN has given me no noticeable speed increase but taken away some wifi, I was better off with adsl2 and a modem that had better wifi.
I stuck with my old ISP Modem .... as it only used 2.4Ghz WIFI .... I have a 3-level split home ... and the modem is downstairs at one end of the house. I reckon I'd have issues if i went with the new modem with 5Ghz ... as coverage is less ... but bandwidth is higher.

It works for me at the moment .... so no complaints.
