New Around Here
I have a 9000 sq ft home. Somehow, got decent usage from a netgear ar700 and two extenders. Have about 100 connected devices and me and the kids having zoom meetings all day the poor thing couldnt handle the load. Updating to the latest firmware totally killed the poor thing.
i got the orbi ax4200 from costco as a band aid, and its a slight improvement over what i had.
My main dilemma is deciding between the new orbi pro wifi 6 that just came out this month versus getting the same number of asus ax11000 and using aimesh. Think four to five units of either would be best. The asus has the 160 mhz band but the orbi is newer and shinier. I plan on daisychaining, so i think the orbi pro might be better on that though not entirely sure.
last thing is i could wait till the wife 6e ax11000e comes out in decemberish, but im worried that the 6ghz channel means that those routers will have to be placed closer together or the routers willl use the single 5hz channel as the backhaul leaving everything else to the 2.4 channel. If asus had announced it as a quad band, i would have waited a few months.
