Nighthawk AC1900 or Nighthawk A6S - Which is best
I have Spectrum internet and would like to extend my network into my basement. Also get full capability and single network name/option. Right now my extender is only picking up the 2G and not the 5...
The EX8000 is going to have more performance because of its tri-band capability. it reserves 1 of the 5ghz bands just for communication with the router. This reduces latency and increases bandwidth.
the EX7000 is a dual band extender. You can offset a little of its latency increase by using its own fastlane setup but then you lose out on a band.
If it was me? I'd probably bo with the tri-band for an extender.
My current extender will only pick up 2.4g since it is older. The two models I tried to reference were the EX7000 and the EX8000. I hope that helps and I really appreciate yor response.
