XR500 with R8000 in AP Mode


Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I have been using an R8000 router for the past year and recently got my hands on the XR500.  I have a 2 storey house with my ISP modem set to bridge mode and the netgear router on the main floor.  Since I now have 2 really good routers, I was thinking I should put the XR500 on the main floor and the R8000 on the 2nd floor LAN connected.  I guess I would put the R8000 into AP mode since the XR 500 has the good firmware.  My question is if this makes sense, or should I just use the XR500 and sell the R8000?  I'm wondering how the tri-band on the R8000 would work alongside the dual band on the XR500. Does it just do 2 bands in this case?  I would typically try it myself but am away for work so checking to see if anyone has done this.
