Will I notice any real world differences between the two? View the full article I bought one last night, it was $199 on sale. I planned on buying the Nighthawk AC2300 ($169) or the Nighthawk X6S ($199). When I saw the XR450 on sale, I bit. I am not a hardcore gamer, more of a casual gamer, but I do stream a lot of video. I plan on setting the router up this weekend, curious though if its going to be overkill for me. My current router is a TPLINK (running Gargoyle) i bought 5 years ago. The WiFi has been spotty and ive had to rest it nearly every day. I am looking for a reliable router with good range.
e38BimmerFN Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I'm going to try and get one as well. I demo'd the 500 earlier this year...I thought the wifi was even better than my R7800. This was on shipping FW. I would recommend trying the router out before you decide to update FW. Im hoping the 450 will have same performance and coverage.
