Mark, I can only comment on a couple things. Apple TV plus is excellent. I just watched the first three episodes of Hijack and am impressed. We just bought a new Wi-Fi router, an Archer 8a I think by TP-Link. It greatly increased our download speed. And I believe gives us better coverage. We cannot use range extenders because our Sonos sound system doesn't link extenders.
