RAX200 vs RAX70? Is it worth it?

Hello.

I have had the RAX70 router for a few years.  Good solid router and pretty fast with zero issues.

Was looking to upgrade and was considering the RAX200.

Am I going to see a big difference between the 2 routers?

I have a few streaming smart TVs and about 9 other electronic devices on my network.

Didn't want to waste the money if I am not going to notice a difference installing the RAX200.

Thanks in advance.

Might look at the spec sheets and compare to each other on features and differences. 

Might ask @Bladestorm how he likes his 200...

The RAX200 is nice if you've got a bunch of devices on your network that support 160hz wide channels. 

Many don't or you won't see much difference in everyday usage. 

The RAX70 is already triband so you can offload specific bands. 

 

If it was me? If the RAX70 is doing everything it needs to do, I'd stick with it. 

Only during speedtesting have I really noticed much speed improvements even going from AC to AX. 

The rest of the time, most devices aren't using that much bandwidth.
