I am thinking of going with the rax120 is this better then my current R8000p. The rax is only dual band where the 8000p is tri band. I really don't need wifi 6 no devices as of yet. Would this still be an upgrade over what I have. I really have no issues with current setup just looking to upgrade if it makes sense
Thank You

would it make a difference...Maybe?
AX devices are better at concurrent usage. meaning more than 1 device can broadcast at a time. But the R8000P is triband so you can have them seperated out between all 3 bands anyway.
and as you said, you don't have any ax devices so you wont see a benefit there.
If it was me? I'd hold off until you need an AX router. the R8000P is quite capable and if its doing everything you need, I would just wait on the AX firmware to stabalize and for features to improve.
Plus wifi 6E is going to be coming out at some point 🙂
