Thanks for the clarification on the SSID names. I have very few dual band devices so N suffices for me for now.
The CGN3 has me pulling my hair(whats left of it) out lol. I alse have intermittent times where communication just stops for a few seconds. I think the DNS forwarder on the CGN3 crashes or runs out of resources.

Dont want to veer off topic but...
I have been looking at the Asus/Netgear(and the 3rd party firmware options) gear but being a network admin I find the consumer gear lacking in configuration options. Coming from using pFsense and Cisco ASA(and Juniper at work) in the past I would miss the flexability. I do not have the need for wireless in the unit as I have a centrally located AP (i will upgrade that at some point). I want a small, powerful and low power device with GigE ports(and speeds). Unfortunately my budget is max $150 all in. The Edgerouter Lite can be had for less than than as can some of the Mikrotik gear. Both are very powerful platforms that will do everything I need. The WRTs and Tomato firmwares are interesting but still lacking in some areas.
