Hi there

I recently upgraded my router to a Huawei (Spark) HG630b in preparation for UFB from an Apple Airport Express. It has actually extended the range deeper into the house which is good.

Now I still haven't got UFB (consent issues) so have to reapply and they have sent me an HG659B, so I can return either one.

I have a standard setup, ADSL2 to router with devices getting wifi off of this.

Will I likely see any improvement upgrading to the HG659B and it's dual band AC for normal Netflix type streaming etc?  Or is there any reason to stick with the HG630B? 

All thoughts welcome.

Keep the HG659B since it has gigabit ports, faster WiFi (and 5GHz WiFi) and is better suited for UFB.
