Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

You can get around 100Mbps from the 500 series devices. The TP-link would get at best 60.

Of course there is no guarantee that your devices or the AP they are attached to could do better then 60.
