Asus RT-AX55 AX1800 vs Ubiquiti UniFi Express 7

“I've got two RT-AX55, one as the main router and an AP, the other is an AP in their "AI-Mesh" setup with wired backhaul. Works well for me.”

“I’d buy the unifi express for $150. It’s prosumer and probably better than most. And if you need more WiFi coverage you can add an access point later.”
