Nighthawk or Orbi
Hi all, Looking for advice on a Network setup for our new summer home. The house is 3 levels, approximately 1,200 SF each level. First floor has kitchen, living room, 3 bedrooms. Second floor...
Would you get a Orbi or nighthawk for 1200 square foot house 1956 construction need a wired lan port to feed to desk top computer, wireless printer and laptop?
Upgrading from a wndr3400v1 netgear router becoming unstable.
The Orbi and a satellite will cover 4000 sqft normally(not sure how far it will extend in an older home like yours). But my guess is the Orbi is overkill. If you don't have budget then sure, you can thnk about getting it.
I'd probably get a Nighthawk for sure. Probably an R7000. An R9000, once again, isn't really needed unless you don't have a budget, then of course it's the best Nighthawk out there. For price and quality I'd probably do the R7000, R8000, R7500v2, R8500. All the choices are good ones.
If your WNDR3400 was working fine(full coverage and good speeds) before the trouble then keep in mind that you should have a lifetime warranty on it. I'd contact netgear and make sure.
The wndr3400v1 is a eol(end of life) product sad to say.
