Hi all,
I've read several threads on very similar subjects to what I'm asking here, but alas I remain somewhat confused and I apologise for covering old ground.
I see there's a lot of love for the ax88u pro. One thread comparing it to the non pro ax11000 stated two of the main reasons being for the lack of merlin support and slower cpu... Said thread being from last year.
However, Ive noticed that Merlin now supports the ax11000 pro model and the CPU is now quad 2ghz.
So, I was wondering if you'd still recommend the ax88u pro in 2024 over the ax11000 pro?
Currently the price difference between the two (in the UK) is about £70 ($88 US).
For some background:
I used to build PCs but I'm a little outdated and admittedly lean more towards the noob side in terms of networking, but I'm on a quest to learn.
I unfortunately don't have cats in my walls, the only cats I have bar the one running up the stairs to the PS5 are the type that purr (which makes me very sad, landlords doing not mine, but I will continue to try, with a hope of one day being 'allowed' to wire my walls -_-). I don't have a NAS (yet, but plan on it).
But at present, my house is heavy on the WiFi, our coverage is awful (thanks to the ISP router) and so I was wondering if there was a case for prioritising the tri-band of the ax11000 pro over the dual band ax88u pro?
I have fibre, currently only 150Mb, but this will be increasing in 6 months time, hopefully to 1Gb.
I'm open to other suggestions, but would prefer to go Asus.
Many thanks in advance!
