Recently purchased one of these and wondering if there are any particular settings that are best tweaked to make this work optimally. I'm on Spark Fibre 1Gpbs plan. Have approx 10 wired and 10 Wireless devices on network at the moment. Completely new to the Ubiquity world and the whole networking space so treat me as total novice :)

Have followed some of the tips from this guy so far - https://youtu.be/BezoNUflqXo

I’ve actually touched about this in my review:

Use your old router. Ensure you’re using Sparks DNS Servers and run through the initial setup with DHCP. Once the router is updated then go back into Settings -> WAN Networks and change your WAN network to be:

PPPoE
Username: user@spark.co.nz
Password: abc123
VLAN set to 10

From here plug into your ONT and you’re away.
