So I finally upgraded to the G1100 Quantum router, and find that while it works fine as a modem and fixed-line router, its wireless signal strength and consistency is pretty much crap.
I have a small house that should easily be covered by any decent router, and am currently tinkering with the DLink DAP-1520 to get 802.11AC to reach the living room game consoles and TV (and hopefully soon an AC-supporting Roku 4) despite being all of about fifteen feet away (through one wall). But even then the Quantum router signal seems to senselessly flake out from time to time for no sensible reason.
Unless I'm missing a setting or something the wireless functionality on the Verizon Quantum Router G1100 is total garbage.
So I'm hoping I can bridge the Quantum gateway and buy an AC router that doesn't suck.
But I'm seeing mixed responses in searches as to whether this is possible. This guy, for example, got all excited about the possibility only to end his thread admitting he gave up:

So:
1. Has anybody found any settings that can help boost the 5GHz AC signal strength specifically?
2. Can you use the G1100 Quantum Router as a bridge and what's the simplest way to do so?
