Asus Mesh or Amplifi Alien

[Roz]

Hi, I have an existing Asus RT-AC88U and it performs great for the most part, except rarely when I need to reboot it to get things working.

Anyway, looking to get a mesh system (and intending to use a wired backhaul) with performance no less than the existing RT - AC88U. Have 1 Gbps internet.
These below are the two I was looking at, trying to decide on which one. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Asus ROG Rapture GT6 AX10000
Amplifi Alien

and intending to use a wired backhaul

Why are you looking at tri-band models then? They have third radio for dedicated wireless backhaul.

yes, realized that later. So now I am looking at the ROG Rapture GT-AX6000. Any thoughts on that?

RT-AX88U Pro is the same hardware router and getting more popular lately. It's newer and has better firmware support.
