Is the Archer AX80 better than the Archer AX73 in range, stability for the AX Wi-Fi 6 (5Ghz) signal?
Greetings.
I have an Archer AX73 V2 as the main router and three more Archer C80 that work as satellites in Building a EasyMesh Network via Ethernet Backhaul and it all works fantastically, as does roaming when the client switches between devices.
I wanted to buy another AX router and the Archer AX80 caught my eye because it also supports WireGuard VPN Server (which the AX73 does not support) and then I would set the Archer AX80 to work as the main router and set the Archer AX73 as a satellite instead of one Archer C80.
Now I’m interested in your opinion, is the Archer AX80 better than the Archer AX73 because of range and stability, primarily for the AX Wi-Fi 6 (5Ghz) signal?
Thank you!
Yes, I saw and I compared those two routers before... I'm specifically curious whether the Archer AX73 has a slightly longer range due to the external antennas, and whether it can serve multiple devices at the same time due to the two functions that are indicated that the Archer AX73 has:
1. 4T4R
2. 4×4 MU-MIMO
Which I see the Archer AX80 doesn't have, what is your opinion and are those two functions so important and what are they for?
Despite that AX80 has only 4 antennas it's rated as 3+ bedroom houses:
4T4R means that the router can use 4 Transmit and 4 Receive streams on a same band.
