Two Nighthawk AX5400 (RAX50) routers in one house? U-Verse related!
Our house is in the shape of a capital "L". Our U-Verse BGW210 is located at the small end of the "L". Our bedroom & office are located at the big end of the "L". As a result, our wi-fi reception is ...

The tribands have been pretty rock solid and allow daisy chaining.
It really helps with speeds for the situation like you're in where its L shaped
So of the following options, which would you recommend based on my situation:
As a reminder, our house (2300 square feet) is in the shape of a capital "L". Our U-Verse BGW210 is located at the small end of the "L". Our bedroom & office are located at the big end of the "L". As a result, our wi-fi reception is spotty throughout the house, and especially at the big end of the "L". We pay for 1000Mbps but are seeiming only 20Mbps at times in the bedroom & office.
I'd look at the RBK753 renewed on amazon. Half the price of those. Not the same performance as the RBK853 but has the wireless backhaul that'll help.
The RBK853 is the top of the line. But it costs that.
I'd look for a set with the 2 satellites (so router + 2 satellites). That way you can put one in the middle to help with performance.

Is the RBK853 overkill for a typical home office situation?
I wouldn't call anything overkill unless you were on slow dsl.
Its all based on what you need/use.
If all you're doing is some streaming/work from home and not needing the absolute fastest, the RBK753 would work.
If you're moving massive amounts of data, the RBK853 would be the route.

And you'd recommend the RBK753 over the Nighthawk AX5400 (RAX50) router in my situation?
