Hi @webmarck,
Here are the differences between the WAC510 and the Orbi Pro:
1. The WAC510 has the Facebook WiFi feature which is not supported on the Orbi Pro wherein you can provide customers WiFi access by letting them check in to a Facebook business page through a captive portal assigned to the Guest Network.
2. The WAC510 supports VLAN while the Orbi Pro does not.
3. You can enable Syslog Server on the WAC510. You can specify the LAN IP Address of the syslog server (such as a PC) to which the access point will send the syslog files.
4. By default the Orbi Pro router (SRR60) is set to Access Point mode but you can also set it to Router Mode.
5. You can only synchronize Orbi Pro satellites to the Orbi Pro router.

Additionally, the Orbi Pro is tri-band (meaning 3 WiFi Channels) and uses one band as a wireless backhaul, instead of an Ethernet backhaul on the WAC. This means, placement of the device can be very flexible, while still maintaining very high WiFi bandwidth for connected clients.
