1) Speed of service
2) Distance of device from node
3) Max transmit rate from node to device
If you're using a WiFi 5 device, and you have a WiFi 5 mesh system, it could be just as fast or faster. WiFi 6 devices will connect to a WiFi 6 router like this at a higher transmit rate, but depending on the distance from node to device, overall throughput could be lower than if it was connected to a closer WiFi 5 mesh node.
But if you have a WiFi 6 mesh system, that rules above all at this point in time. You get max coverage and max transmit rates. Hopefully you have at least Gigabit service from your ISP to take advantage of it, because you'll be ISP limited at anything 500Mbps or less (that's where WiFi 5 systems max out).

Router is ~340 everywhere else. I bought it at 299 since it was a decent deal then, now getting it price adjusted to 230. I've been super happy with its performance and coverage. I'm on gigabit fiber, 3 story/ 3000 sq ft. with the router on the middle floor on one side of the house. Can easily get the second story office on the far corner with only dropping one bar. Speeds have been great.

Appreciate if someone can help me what is good/bad between the two. I am not a gamer, just streaming
RAX80 had issues w/ its firmware when it was first released. The firmware issue has been fixed since then. I bought it last year around Mar or Apr 2020.
It seems this does not support OFDMA to optimize speed like the RAX80:

ODFMA is part of the WiFi 6 spec, I knew this is too good to be true.

~$50 tp Archers have served me pretty well.
I like the way this one looks though... it would be cool if it were like a puppet or robot or something, had a place to put hot drinks or soup on it.
