The AX1800: R6700AXS vs RAX10

[poison3000]

Hi All,

I purchased Nighthawk AX1800 (RAX10). I love it !! signal is good and connected 26 devices all of them working great ! BUT ... 

while I was searching through amazon I received a recommendation for  AX1800: R6700AXS but cheaper by 35 USD with 1 year subscription for ARMOR.

So, I quickly fetched both specs to compare ... they are both identical ! specs and design wise ... I cant tell what is the difference .. should I return the RAX10 and get R6700AXS ?

Keep the RAX10. No point in swapping it if it's identical

Hi All,

So I purchased 3 routers, based on best users reviews and compared all of them:

> Nighthawk AX1800 (RAX10)

> D-Link EXO|AX AX5400 (DIR-X5460-US)

> TP-Link Archer AX3000 (AX53)

Nighthawk won the game. the signal was good all over the house, TP was the worst as devices where loosing the signal occasionally.

TP link has a really nice software (web interface) and app ... I liked it more than the Nighthawk. D-link has a great signal, mediocre  software ...

some feature I was missing from the RAX10 such as USB, LED control, parental control.

what i noticed that devices connected to the 2.4Ghz has slow connection, up to 20 Mbps ... is there a better Netgear model that can get me faster connection on 2.4GHz ? or better generally on the same price ?

Also, what is the max number of devices can be connected to it ?

Not really related to the router so much as the WiFi technology standard involved.
