I ended up un-bridging mine. I am now testing with the Hiltron. One day in and the Hiltron performs just as well as the Nighthawk did, maybe a bit better. No idea why. Coverage is about the same.
The one area so far that is way slower is the transfer speeds on the LAN. Not fully tested but early results the Hiltron is way slower.
I am tempted to buy one of those fancy super high end routers from Staples just to try out. I really wonder if I would see any improvement.
The odd part is I get 150 down sometimes and other times only 25 down on AC wireless on both routers. So bizarre.
