RAX200, RAX120 vs ASUS RT AC-5300
So lately, my ASUS AC-5300 router has been giving a load of problems, and I am looking to upgrade. Right now, I am looking between the RAX120 and the RAX200. However, I cannot find enough information...
So the reason that we are upgrading is that our current router is not functioning correctly. We used to live in the 5000ft house, and managed to use the AC-5300. If the RAX200 has about the same broadcasting power, then it should be fine (we are most likely getting access points put in). That being said, does the RAX120 have the same range as the 200, or no?
Yes. it does.
the RAX120 is dual band the RAX200 is triband. (plus some other differences)
If you're planning on adding access points, I'd push you even harder towards an orbi setup.
Reason why is you won't have seamless roaming with access points. orbi supports seamless roaming (single ssid) and you can add satellites as needed in both wired and wireless mode.
