ORBI AX4200 VS MX83

Hi all. I just purchased the Orbi RBK753  two weeks ago(Same price as the MK83 through a deal I got) and have not installed it. I now see there is a new Nighthawk Mesh tri band system. I went throught the specs and it seems the Orbi is faster with more attenans,  but the Orbi makes no mention of OFDMA support on the ORBI and was wondering if it had it. Does anyone know?

 

I also wanted to get peoples thoughts on the there view between the two. One thing is the Nighthawks have always been marketed for gaming. Since I do game, will the ORBI be just as good?

 

Thanks,

It doesn't if I remember someone siaid or told me about it.
