Thanks so much for all that useful info.
As I currently only get maximum 4mbps download speed using ethernet, I'm hoping that it would be an improvement for me.
The iffy part for me is that the house has a lot of reinforced concrete both externally and in an internal dividing wall. There is a ranchslider with a reasonable view of the tower where I would hope to place a modem. In that location my 4G 2 degrees phone seems to have a good signal when on mobile data. Is that a reasonable indicator or are the 2 technologies too different to tell?
If I did get it working, would I be able to use the old TG585v7 as a wireless access point if I disable DHCP and run an ethernet cable between lan ports on both routers or is it more complicated than that?
