Nighthawk R7000 vs R8000
I'm looking for a new ac wireless router and want to know which of these models is the best. What are the pros and cons of each router?
- Well i just pulled the trigger on the R7000. Usually i go for the latest and greatest but it sounds like the R8000 still has some bugs to work out and the R7000 more then meets my needs. :)
Hi,
R7500 for now is slightly slower than R7000, Linksys WRT1900AC, overall but QOS works very well specially with my Big Foot Killer WiFi cards. I hope
new f/w will tap into more powerful hardware, I don't care much about MU-MIMO.
Even at same clock rate Qualcomm cpu will be faster than Broadcom one due to
different platform. OpenWRT beta f/w was quite buggy except basic router function but easy to flash or revert(by TFTP).
