Do more ... but as long as they're not legacy devices like Rasperry Pi / NAS server etc which perform best over LAN connections. But then in Google's world, the NAS is the google drive and their media center is YouTUbe / Chromecast.

Most likely there is always at least one device connected to the router. Does it mean the router will never automatically switch channel? Or is there difference between 'using the Internet' with 'connected to the router'?A dedicated antenna and radio scans the environment every five minutes, and OnHub switches to a less crowded channel if it will improve your Wi-Fi performance. OnHub makes the switch when you’re not using the Internet so it doesn’t interrupt what you’re doing.
Hum, you are probably correct. But that turns the device from an interesting high spec router into something much worse.
I am dreading the era where the IoT is a reality. Just cannot understand how people think it's a good thing given how hard it is to secure computers and smartphones, which are much more tightly controlled than the zillion manufacturers of household appliances.

Your devices autoswitch channels to follow SSIDs. Your smartphone probably does this all the time if you're using wifi in a non-tiny office or on a public network.
If you are browsing, you will never notice a change of channel.
I'm not sure how this works with other situations (e.g. VPN sessions) though... not something I've ever looked into.
It does sort of seem like a device which is going to have to prove itself - to show that there's a good reason for it to exist at a relatively high price... Of course, it's US-only (at this point), and that'll make it much easier for them, since USians are used to being shafted by their ISPs on things like that.
What does 802.11a have to do with *anything* here?Original Post Deleted
Practically all home wifi APs support 11a, doesn't mean that you have to use it. Same way all wired neworking devices support FastEthernet when everyone uses gig speeds.
Maybe you shouldn't have sold the T60 just so you could be happy using protocol that fell out of common usage over a decade ago.
