Right folks, talked to a few from m EE and it seems they ain't all told or know the same thing. Some don't know the "home app" no longer exists on Google, others think its no it's totally needed to setup the discs, then somr know how to set it up without it.
I also read and watched loads of stuff on YouTube, including one where they use the disc via ethernet cable in a office and claim to get no drop in speed. Differing from what I was originally told, the app isn't needed to set the disc up, it just needs to pair with the home hub via the ethernet cable provided, takes 10 mins from turning hub on, tops. Once you get the solid blue light on the disc after about 5 mins, it's done, can be removed and placed where needed. This is what the app is for, to identify the rest that place for it, which can be done using your phone and judging where the signal drops out and placing it before that point.
This is what I have done tonight and will see how it goes over the next 24hrs, apart from having to put the odd password in as the fact it only uses one name, the 5GHZ part has gone, it seems as it only teething problems will be had.
Will let it run for 24hrs, got family coming tomorrow so it will have loads connected, so any problems should show up. Will let you know how it goes going forward.
