R7000 vs the r7000p
There are two major differences between the R7000 vs. R7000P. The R7000P looks similar to R7000, but it has an updated motherboard design and supports faster speeds and a few more standards. -Editor's Note |
Is the r7000p that much better then the r7000? I was looking to get the R7000 but sales man get the R7000p and said it was much better is it or is it the sale person trying to push they I should buy just looking a good basic router with the ac standard.
What's the price difference?

Probably.
As them what does "much better" mean?
There are lots of "AC standard" things. You could get away with something a lot cheaper. What else are you looking for in it? What are you connecting?

You could use wifi extenders to reach parts that the main router cannot serve.
I would have suggested Powerline for that, but LAN would be much better.
