Given the security and firmware issues of my current Netgear R7000 router, I decided it is time to go to Wifi6.
I currently have the R7000 as the primary, and an old Dlink DAP 1522 acting as a bridge in my living room. The DAP feeds a couple of things - a Verizon Network cell extender, and older Xbox and a blueray DVD (yes, I still have one)...
My thought is to get the Asus RT AX88U and use that as a primary, but only turn on the 5GHz band.
I would replace the Dlink with the Netgear R7000 in some mode (bridge?). I would want to use the R7000 for the same wired devices and also 2.4GHz band (AC/AN) for other wireless devices in the house. The location is more ideal for 2.4GHz coverage.
I have three or four devices in the house that can do wifi6, but most are AC or AN.
Any advice?
Thanks,
R
