Hi,
so I want to update my home wifi to AC. I reaaaally like the performance reviews of Orbi, but I'm kinda geeky so like meddling with configurations and have some weird requirements like VPNs, and so on, so I would prefer to go router + extender.
So I tried to research the routers. I don't need 3 band, I don't have that many devices, and neither of them is more than 2x2 so most of the ratings don't make sense for me. But I also like to buy high end stuff, so naturally, I'm looking at the top tier routers.
And this is where I'm stumped. Router Charts show R7800 as being 3.5x faster than R8000 and 3x faster than R8000P.
What is this? Testing was done with bugged firmware? Different chipsets having dramatically different performance? Something else?
Is R7800 really that magical?
