R0tten
New Around Here
Hi all. I narrowed my choices down to 2 routers that I am interested in. Apart from the marketing, there are a lot of features I find interest in for these. I understand that the archer ax6000 is dual band and the r8000p is tri band? If so, is the x6s tri band router better than the archer ax6000 overall? I also think the ax6000 has more stream channels (4?) [which is recommended in some articles around here] compared to the x6s? I have a lot (6+?) of 2.4ghz devices and a few (3+?) 5ghz devices. Most smart home things that come out are 2.4ghz, so I don't think I should be too concerned about tri band / dual band, unless it is worth it? I plan to get more smart home products within the next 3 or so years. I am also interested in the AX6000 compared to the r8000p as it has more processing power... so it seems to have more potential - will it get fulfilled? Obviously the firmware has to be correct to take advantage. I also like the 8 ports compared to 4, including 2 year warranty vs 1. But... my main concerns are "future proof", great 2.4ghz support/throughput, and last place... expand-ability. It seems like the AX6000 has the R8000p beat except it only has dual band support which might get dropouts on many devices? I wish it was benchmarked so I have better numbers :\.
Which is recommended of these? price is not a concern..
