I finally took the plunge and stuck that superhub into modem mode.

Is there any particular settings I need to sort out for happy internet.

I game and steam, stream etc.

I sorted out the WiFi security and local security.

Thanks.

Only advice I would give is set google DNS instead of leaving blank to Virgins /-)

Don't use the QoS unless you really need it as you loose the hardware NAS functionality

I take it I can hook up a USB drive and use it like a NAS?

QoS breaks the hardware NAT, the NAS works just fine.

Yes, you can plug 2 USB devices into it and use it like a NAS.

Sorry I meant to type NAT

I'm a little confused by the Dual band 2.4 and 5ghz.

Do I give them both the same SSID, or do i give them different SSIDs and connect whatever device to which on suits best?

Treat them as two different networks
