ax89x mesh or ax6000 3 mesh setup

[rwijnhov]

In my country both the ax89x and the ax6000 are 250$. I want to replace my 3 mesh ac86u system with these. What to buy:
3x ax89x
3x ax6000
1x ax89x + 2x ax6000

With an sfp+ to rj45 converter you can use both 10g connections on the ax89x.

What would you do?

Could you please give complete model numbers?

If you're talking about the GT-AX6000, you may be able to upgrade your network substantially with only two (or even maybe, one).

Looking for a solution in search of a problem :)

Currently have an AC86U as a primary router and an AC68U as a mesh node (backhaul is ethernet). Basically it works fine; have no real speed issues - video streams just fine. But if I were to add an AX router (thinking of AX68U) to the mix to get WiFi 6 coverage in the home, my thought was to 1)...

Of course, no 10GbE connections, but having 3+ years newer hardware is worth it (to me).

I mean the gt-ax6000.

And the other router?

The rt-ax89x. I already have the rt-ac86u that i am looking to replace.

Just bought the gt-ax6000 will set that up as my main router. Then I will use the ac-86u as mesh routers. Will see how it goes.

If that RT-AX89X really has 8x8:8 5GHz RF design and the faster 2.2GHz Quad-Core CPU, that is the one I would be using as the main router.
