CAX80 vs CBR750
Other than the CBR having mesh satelittes, what are the differences? What the sq. ft coverage are for each router? Speed comparisons? etc? Not sure which to purchase. My house is 40' wide by 45'...

4800 sq ft.
The router is in the center, both side to side and front to back.
I have a two story living room with a catwalk. Router is on wall portion of the catwalk. So basically between the main and second floor. So no floor for the signal to pass through on first and second floor. Basement is no issue since there is only one floor for the signal to pass though.

Ok, I would think ether one would work well then. If needed you can add a RBS or EAX if you need any additional coverage. The CAX has better front haul speeds wirelessly vs the CBR750.
- jcat71Oct 08, 2020TutorI'll probably end up with the CBR. I'm more interested in speed consistency across the whole range. Plus the aethestics will work better wall mounted in sight.
The nighthawk like seems interesting but at a similar price point and spec I guess I don't see point for my use case, which is primarily streaming sticks at the TVs, cell phones and smart devices.
Thanks for your input.- FURRYe38Oct 08, 2020Guru - Experienced User
