I currently have an Orbi Mesh set up. My 5 Nest cams do not like it at all. They are constantly dropping out 100+ times a day. Nest tells me this is due to the Mesh network as the cams need to be connect to 2.4Ghz and the Orbi switches between 5Ghz and 2.4. So I want to get rid of the Mesh system and was considering the RAX200. My house is ~ 3500 sqaure feet over 3 floors (this includes the basement). I have about 30 devices connected generally including 5 Nest cams (indoors and on the exterior of the house), 3 nest thermostats, 8 Nest smoke detectors, etc.
Thoughts on replacing my current Orbi set up with the RAX200 or another recommendation? Any help would be much appreciated.
I would go with the Qualcomm-based RAX120 router. Has slightly better range than the RAX200 and offers true hardware acceleration/offloading. Its firmware is also based on OpenWrt as opposed to the Broadcom mess in the RAX200.
