Two Nighthawk AX5400 (RAX50) routers in one house? U-Verse related!
Our house is in the shape of a capital "L". Our U-Verse BGW210 is located at the small end of the "L". Our bedroom & office are located at the big end of the "L". As a result, our wi-fi reception is ...
If you're needing 2x devices, might be better to check into a mesh system like orbi or the MK nighthawk
I'd check into the tribands as the dedicated backhaul helps quite a bit.
Not sure if you have the RAX50 already but for the price of 2x of them, the MK83 or RBK753 would be cheaper and have another satellite to help with coverage.
We currently have a Google Nest Wifi set up. The router is set up with the U-Verse BGW210, 1 point is located at the intersection of the "L", and 1 point is in the middle of the big part of the "L". Our internet service is 1000Mbps with us actually testing out at around 900 at the Google router. However, at the of the big part of the "L" we are sometimes seeing 20Mbps. This doesn't work with my wife's job as an online teacher.
So I guess my question is this: Would the Orbi perform better than the Google Nest?
what model google wifi is it?
The tribands have been pretty rock solid and allow daisy chaining.
It really helps with speeds for the situation like you're in where its L shaped

So of the following options, which would you recommend based on my situation:
As a reminder, our house (2300 square feet) is in the shape of a capital "L". Our U-Verse BGW210 is located at the small end of the "L". Our bedroom & office are located at the big end of the "L". As a result, our wi-fi reception is spotty throughout the house, and especially at the big end of the "L". We pay for 1000Mbps but are seeiming only 20Mbps at times in the bedroom & office.
