Looking for some advice on a mesh extender. I own a Netgear Nighthawk R7800 X4S (AC2600). I am considering purchasing an EX6410 or an EX7500 mesh extender. Which one would be most suitable? Is the EX7500 an older model?
No. Again, the triband extender will function much better even with a dual band router.
Its just because of that dedicated backhaul for router---extender communiction. its similar to how the orbi setup works without something controlling the system.
Standard extenders have to recieve and then transmit with the same chip. and they can't do both at once. so they automatically take a 50% throughput hit on speed.
The tribands mitigate that by having a 2nd 5ghz band just for router----extender communication. This lets them have much faster speeds and lower latency.
