Hoping for some advice here. I have had an RT-AC5300 for years now. I've just ordered an AX55 on special. My plan is a three node aiMesh setup in a long house, one at one end (where the fibre internet comes in), one centrally and one at the far end of the house. There will be ethernet backhaul between them all (but only one cable so impossible to easily make the central house device the router). The house is external double brick and internal single brick (mainly)
I'm wondering which of these two devices is 1) a better router and 2) would provide better wireless coverage. Ideally I would place the better router at the fibre end of the house (where it will be in charge of routing) and the better wireless coverage option centrally. If one is superior at both things then I'll just have to choose!
Appreciate your advice
EDIT: The third node/AP is a RT-AC66U B1 which will be placed at the far end regardless as it is neither the best router nor the best for WiFi coverage
