The models are
Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 - AC2600
and
Netgear Nighthawk AX6 - AX5400

AX5400= do you mean the RAX50?
If so, it should. I'd still check out a few reviews to see how it performs.
I'm a fan of Dong Ngo (dongknows) reviews as he does a great job, isn't paid for it (buys his own products) and even will refuse to review products. Theres a few other good sites too. I used to be a huge believer in smallnetbuilder but there isn't much reviews on there anymore for newer devices.

If you don't mind renewed, do a quick search on amazon for netgear renewed products. there's been quite a few on there and you can always buy an aftermarket warranty and still come in pretty darned low for price.
