Orbi vs. AirPort Extreme + Nighthawk X4s extender?

I recently purchased the Nighthawk X4s Mesh Range Extender for use with existing Apple AirPort Extreme ac. The single SSID works as advertised, but the performance is still not what I was hoping for....

The RBK30 could be better for you but it could be a environment issue going on have you tried to find the best channel for your wifi network or moved the extender around some to find better performance?

    Thanks, Darren. I'm constrained as to changing locations, but I will definitely fiddle around with the channels first. 2.4GHz is on auto, 5GHz is on 157...
