Orbi v Nighthawk

[WTFWWIW]

Hi, which is the better router Orbi RBR750 or Nighthawk r7000p?

[FURRYe38 · Accepted solution]

Orbi. 

FYI, the R7000p is much older and also doesn't have newer Wifi 6 support.

Better for what?

One is Mesh Wi-Fi, one is not. The R7000P has features that you won't find on the RBR750, like ReadySHARE.

The flashier Wi-Fi 6 thing is nerds wet dream that may be irrelevant to you. So it is down to what you expect of a router.

I have an R7000P in constant use, but it isn't something I'd install now. I go for the RBR750.

Just to browse the web, nothing special. I stopped using the Orbi as I have the r7000p set up as a VPN based router but don't need it for that anymore so checking which one is the best to use. Seems like the Orbi is the more recent and better technology so I should switch back to that one. Thanks.
