RAX200 vs. Wifi 6 Mesh Networks with 40+ devices
am looking for some strong advise from the group - Thanks in advance for your support. I have a 4,000 sq ft home on 3 floors (Basement, Main & 2nd floor) with approx 40 devices connected, Smart H...
I've used the Arris AX11000 system (mesh) and it did do a great job of needing less satellites to compare to my Orbi system. But after usage, I ended up going back to Orbi because the Arris didn't have all the features I wanted and still needed fine tuning on the firmware.
With having 4000 sq ft (i only have 3200), I'd wait on the Orbi mesh as I've also used the RAX200 and it struggled at distances versus the Orbi providing great coverage.
It'll be interesting to see how the Orbi AX does in comparison when it comes out.
Thanks for the reply. Over the Holiday, I purchased the (2) pack of the Arris Surfboard Pro Max (AX11000) & set it up. Not bad. Not great either - I have a disconnect every night thus far & the network is not self repairing (if you are attached to a node, you just get dropped) and the features within the app are sub-par. On another note, I did hear (via tomsguide.com) https://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-wifi-6-routers,review-6115.html that Orbi AX Wifi6 pricing & release date will be announced on Sept 6th, 2019. We'll see.
