Question 1

Compared to asus rog rapture gt-ax11000 and netgear nighthawk x10 ad7200, who is better?

Accepted Answer

Well the Netgear is "old" tech now.  Wireless AD is fast but only operates at super short distances.  15feet or less.  Line of sight.  The Asus has it smoked.  It has more horsepower than the ax6000 but really only because of the triband. Having 3 bands let's them put that big 11000 number in the name instead of 6000. 4800 per 5ghz band, 1200 for the 2.4ghz. The numbers are theoretical.  It really depends what your looking for and willing to spend.  The Asus is triband. Meaning 2.4ghz and 2 5ghz networks. Tplink is dual.  2.4ghz and 1 5ghz network.  They are both going to be comparable in speeds.  The tplink has 8 gig Ethernet ports.  Asus only has 4.  Range should be comparable.  The Asus is more customizable and geared towards gamers.  Tplink is more jack of all trades.  With the 15% back with the prime card, the tp link is about $180 cheaper.  I chose the tplink cause of price and didn't need the triband.  Plus was familiar with the brand having previously owned the ac1750.

Question 2

I'm running about 50 wireless connection. and 20 ports through 2 switches. with me running Youtube and my wife is playing WEB games  and I'm watching Netflix. Also running Netflix a lot since Covid19, I don't experience any streaming problems. When I mentioned switches I'm running a 24 connection and a 9 connection routers. So multiple connections I have no problemS, On the router you have 8 Ports.

Question 3

Other say it Disconnect frequently need to reboot the router but I usually don’t reboot my router will it still disconnect the Device from the route?

Accepted Answer

I do have it setup to auto reboot once per-month. That time hasn't come yet. I have not had to reboot this router since I got everything setup. Been running fine for 3 weeks. I like it. It doubled our internet download speed and increased the upload by about 1/3. I have not had disconnects of my devices. I have about 70 or so devices connected at all times. Most of these are smart home type things.

Question 4
