AX4200 vs Asus ZenWiFi XT8
Been an Orbi user and fan both at the office and home for a long time. Due to an impending need to extend connectivity for a new addition we completed, I'm wondering what people are thinking about t...
I've actually used both the RBK752 and the XT8. They're pretty similar in terms of coverage and speed wise they were also pretty similar. The one area where they both fail is the handoff of clients between the router and the nodes, both aren't very good with it.
Biggest difference is the XT8 has a lot more settings to tweak if you feel the need, the 160mhz channels and better port selection. The RBK752
is designed like all Orbi to set it and forget it. I will say I've been running the Orbi for about three weeks with no issues at all other than the too sticky clients mostly iOS.
I think it boils down to personal preference and what's available right now.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your valuable feedback, it's really appreciated.. I do like the set and forget it. Do you have to change much with the Asus?
