The r9000 with EX8000's will perform better than the MK63 system.
The MK63 system is only dual band. The EX8000's are triband and use a dedicated backhaul for the connection.

Either using powerline (which can struggle in older wired homes), using moca adapters (ethernet over coax), or having your home wired with ethernet.

I have my AP running through powerLines and although my network is stable now the speed is inconsistent, did not consider old cabaling being the issue
Seems like cabling may be what will be required just did not want to do that in todays technical world :(
Thanks again for your reply
