So far no issues, and we’re predominantly Apple devices.

Devices are in AP mode, wired back to the router so no mesh.

They’re certainly chunky - bigger than I thought. From the images on the website I for some reason imagined they were smaller than the AP903s that I have replaced, but they’re actually bigger.

Good speeds so far, faster than I could ever get with the 903s. Speed test showing in the higher hundreds of mb/s (internet is 1gbps).

Do all functions in firmware work? 1060C and 908 I found some functions just don't do anything. Also does roaming work well do you get sticky clients? Do you use one SSID per all five ap's ? Could you share rough guide/setting how you set them up. What wifi channels you use?
I am getting continuous disconnects on mobile devices or no internet on 60db+ for some reason even if all settings standard etc.. Did not have such issues on older draytek ap's. So considering AP906 but worried it will be same.

Against my better judgement I've decided to throw caution to the wind and try 3 AP906's (two wired and one wireless) with my 2927ax as mesh root.

Early days yet but initial observations :-

1. Simply because I was using Channel 100 on 5GHz in my previous set up I set these new ones up on Channel 100. All seemed fine but the wirelessly connected AP would not connect to the "preferred" uplink - it would only connect to the mesh root, the connection (being the one with the greatest distance!) having an RSSI of 0%.
2. I noticed that very few of my devices were connecting on 5GHz. As a test I turned on band steering (I haven't used band steering or any of Draytek's roaming options for some time). This resulted in several more devices switching to 5GHz; however, an Amazon Echo Show 8 streaming Radio 4 Extra would cut out every 20-30 seconds, as though it was continually connecting and disconnecting.
3. Both of these issues appear to have been resolved by changing to Channel 36 on 5Ghz. The wireless AP now connects to the preferred uplink with an RSSI of 60%. Although there were no more issues with the Echo I've turned band steering off anyway.
4. I have 6 Apple devices and haven't noticed any particular problems as yet, although as I say it's early days.
5. It feels as though some configuration changes take quite a time to actually happen; sometimes a reboot is required to get them to "stick".
