    NETGEAR Announces DIY Orbi Extender

    look at your own testing one the asus rt-ac3200 and its poor performance on 5 gig , as also test here this was caused by cross talk between the two 5 gig channels , if they where on the same freq this would have been far worse

    NETGEAR Announces DIY Orbi Extender

    so to avoid bottlenecks you would need a tri band router with at least 1733M and thats prob going to mean a 2156M tri band like the r8500 which you would dedicate the high 5 gig band to the ex8000 backhaul , like i said prob one good reason to buy a tri band router

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    i think you will be waiting a while , sounds like they are focused on the 68u , 86u and 1900ac in this early beta stage , once they get them settled you might see the beta dsl after that
