If all three of these routers were the same cost, which one would you recommend as the overall best?

Netgear R7900
Linksys EA8300
Netgear R7000p

It's confusing to me because the R7900 aka the Nighthawk X6 looks impressive and has the highest theoretical speed as an AC3000 router, but it is older than the others by several years and lacks Mu-Mimo. Meanwhile the Linksys EA8300 seems like a mid-range router for that brand but has a quad core processor as opposed to the dual core processor of the two Netgears.

I can't find any direct comparisons of any of these routers online so I'm hoping you can help with the decision. Which one would you get again, if they were all the same price.

THANK YOU!

The R7000 has been a top performer for a long time. The inflation of the "ACxxxx" numbers doesn't mean anything either. I have always purchased Asus routers, but of the list you prvided I would get the tried and true R7000.
