I want to ask about ax40 or ax80 before i buy it.
Ok I am in the market for a new router my router that I have been using since 2012 is getting old it's a dual band AC router.
My question is how well do these new AX routers work with older devices because I have only one device now s10+ that has wifi6.
Older devices wireless:
-iPhone 8
-iPad air
-Samsung galaxy 2012 tablet note 10.1
-Dell inspiron laptop i3
-Macbook pro 2009
Wired connects:
Android tv box
Smart tv
Nas server
Desktop computer
I am really confused at if I should get a new ax router or just buy another AC router.

Has your Internet service changed in ways that suggest that you need something newer?

- The age of my devices most are ac/n devices . But I wanted a new ax type router but after reading alot of people complaints i had a lot of dought on buying a netgear . So how has the new firmware improved on the router or are there still alot of issues.
- The other reason why I want a new router is because max speed on my old router is 300MB
