The rc.conf "mode 11ac" bit? Yes, I tried that. Sadly, no effect for me :(

No worries. If there's anything else I can provide that may help, please
say.

Many thanks for such a fast response on the weekend too. I'm attempting to 
keep up with the mail list now, so will ping as requested; if required.

Many thanks again Bjoern!
