Funny you should say that because when I first got connected the max achievable was much higher pretty close to 100 in fact so what could have changed more people getting connected maybe?

Quite likely - were you an early connection?

Yes one of the first I believe

Yes

Two options....

1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP. Select Enable AP Mode
or
2. Use it in full router mode and turn the W9970 into a simple VDSL2 modem by turning on bridge mode

OK I will place an order for one, thanks for all the advice everyone it's appreciated.

Personally I'd avoid the netgear and get some something a couple of Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Pro's

Might be a little more cash and effort, but far superior performance.

Nothing wrong with the Netgear R7000, its a solid router with decent wifi range priced reasonably. Yes I'm sure the OP could spend more for a superior device but I suspect all the OP wants is a router with good wifi at a sensible price - in which case the R7000 ticks all the boxes.
