AX4200 vs Asus ZenWiFi XT8
Been an Orbi user and fan both at the office and home for a long time. Due to an impending need to extend connectivity for a new addition we completed, I'm wondering what people are thinking about t...
So I just wanted to update everyone about the Asus as I received it this weekend.. Once I connected it, setup was easy, it asked to do a firmware update, so that was done, once that was done the unit had a ton of site disconnects. Apparently, after a firmware update it's common for Asus routers to need to be reset to factory defaults and setup again (weird). After that, performance has been great. I really do like the fact that is offers a bunch of configuration variables that the ORBI doesn't. I like seeing the signal strength of devices and having some other functionality.
Hopefully will be getting the Netgear 3 Pack Wifi 6 in a week or so as well. Anyone know if NG will update their UI to allow for more customizations ? It's nice to be able to see per device usage as well.

NG seems strict on any user configurations in the UI. NG seems to put limited advanced features on Orbi systems and you get what you get. Like it or not.
