Asus ZenWifi XT8 vs Netgear Orbi Ax6000
Specs are similar between these two. Does anyone have either? How is it? Also, would love to hear opinions on which is better and why from any networking experts on here!

It’s around 4000 sq ft, and I have gigabit internet. I get 500-600 mbps on wifi close to my router, and it drops quickly throughout the house to <100 mbps.

Where will the router be placed, in the middle of the house or in the corner? If in the corner can you run a network cable through the basement to the other side of the house? If you can get a cable to the other side of the house i would rather go with 2 ax86u routers using aimesh than either of these setup's. While they use 4x4 antennas for the backhaul they are only 2x2 for regular wifi while the ax86u is 4x4 and should max out your gigabit connection.

That would be amazing yeah. I had LAN throughout my old place and basically had one router and two access points and it worked out great.shabby wrote: ↑ Where will the router be placed, in the middle of the house or in the corner?
