Let us know how your upgrade from 3341 to 1582 went.

While on 3341 I used to get a tremendous amount of spam in my email...like 300-400 per day.

Since I updated, it seems to have stopped...I can only assume it's the security enhancements.

No time do sia and very scared honestly. Sometimes really can’t find the reason to risk it when current setup all working well. My AC88U throughput for wifi to my desktop is around 700-800mbps.

And my parents always watching show and drama on tv box if suddenly wifi keep drop then ggwp, my phone will ring nonstop.

Only app store slow?

Do speed test on both.

Maybe interference for 5ghz

My issue is with its "USB Application".

I can't seem to get the Time Machine working regardless how religious I followed the instructions and troubleshooting. It either says that it can't find BackUp Disk or it will say "Waiting to Complete First Backup"...... Been a month and is still "backing up" with no success.

Anyone facing the same issue ?
