Which unit is better for my home
The nighthawk ac1750 model r6700 or the nighthawk xr500 gamin router. I have about 25 devices that can be used at one time and looking to see which router is my best option
Model: R6700|Nighthawk AC1750 Smart WiFi Router

Definitely the XR500 which is based on the R7800 and runs on DumaOS, far better than stock NG firmware. If the XR500 is too expensive for you, consider the R7800

Re: Which unit is better for my home
That's quite a lot of devices and so depending on your bandwidth you'll likely experience local congestion which the XR500 can eliminate. Also if there are any gamers in the house they will benefit from the XR500 in more ways as well. Full disclosure - you're posting in the NPG XR section and I work for Netduma who created the software for the XR500.

Netflix could cause some local congestion for your other devices e.g. lag/buffering that the XR would be able to counteract perfectly.
