The wireless adapters in the Xbox and PS4, while fast, can't match their ethernet ports in terms of stability and speed.
Hope that helps, I'm not the most tech savvy person, but that's the information I found when I was researching Mesh router systems about a year ago when I was in the market for one.

I just installed the ET8 version of these - works great
Spoiler: it isn't great still
Can you explain what you did?
It's a Tri-Band Mesh system (2.4,5-1,5-2) that let's you dedicate the 5-2 band to act solely as the communication band between the routers and nothing else. Each router has 3 LAN ports that will allow you to plug your devices via ethernet, making those devices think they're on a wired connection instead of wireless. There's less chance of interference since your going from wired to dedicated wireless band to the modem.

If you are just worried about performance and dont mind basic settings, Tp-Link AX5700 way better deal as its speeds can hit up to 1.4Gbps over wireless.
The AX4200.
I would most certainly prefer this. AsusWRT > Netgear's interface, in my opinion.
The deal puts me in a little bit of a conundrum because I just bought a pair of white XT8s at B&H for $393.82 OTD (no tax because I have the Payboo card). This Amazon deal is great, but with tax at my location, it comes out to about $408...slightly more than what I just paid at B&H.
I'm going to submit a price match request and see if B&H will match the Amazon price, which would let me get the best of both worlds (no tax + $377 PTD). But I don't have the highest hopes they will.
