Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between the Ax6000 and the AX4200 WiFi 6 mesh system(4 answers)
A: AnswerSorry this will be kinda long but im giving you everything I researched when I bought the AX6000 The difference is the ability to future proof your home with the AX6000 as it can attain gigabit internet speeds(if your internet service provider(ISP) offers that). For the AX6000 you can get (1000 Mbs 2.4 GHz + 2400 Mbs 5 GHz) compared to (600 Mbs 2.4 GHz + 1200 Mbs 5 GHz) Also the you number of ethernet connections you get with the AX6000 is higher by like 3 more ports 1 extra on the router and 2 more on the satellites. Check your current ISP package if they offer gigabit internet (realistically its 940 mb/s) you’ll want to use what you’re paying for and if you have alot of people in your household go with the AX 6000 because your speed will suffer if you are all on at one time. If you dont have Gigabit internet with your ISP save the $200+ (i say ‘+‘ because usually you will have to upgrade your modem to a docsis 3.1 to get gigabit internet) and get the AX4200 Lastly If you dont have alot of people in your house and you are just looking to just eliminate dead zones in your house maybe even look up nighthawk mesh system(I believe its less than $200). Its the cheapest wifi 6 mesh system it doesnt provide the fastest speeds but will get you better mire reliable connection throughout since its a mesh.Answered by JayVo
- A: AnswerNo, none of the units are a cable modem. BUT there are good reason to be thankful. Orbi has sold units in the past that included the cable bridge in to their router. This limits your flexibility and if you choose to change providers in the future, say to Fibre Optic, you would have to pitch the system and re-buy. So by not having the cable modem integrated, you are future proofing your purchase. NOW to solve your ranch issue, buy the Orbi, ditch your cable modem and purchase a Surfboard Cable modem WITHOUT wireless. That will ONLY convert from Cable/Coax to ethernet that you then plug into your Orbi. The cable modem pays for itself in a year or less because you do not have to rent one from your provider. -Best Wishes

Answered by mikewh
- A: AnswerProbably overkill. My house is about 4500 sq ft. with three levels and I have the 3-pk. I have one for each level. Router in basement and then the two satellites on the two upper levels. Save the money, because it should cover you fine with 2-pk. You will have more versatility with a 3-pk depending on where you'd like to place the units, but other than that I don't see any reason to spend more money. So, if you need that second satellite for the versatility of placement then go for it.

Q: QuestionWhat modem would work best with the AX6000 system?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYou will want a modem that is Docsis 3.1 certified to handle faster speeds. I would probably go with the Netgear CM1100 or the CM1200 which would be more than enough to handle the new orbi 6.Answered by Placesandspaces35
- A: AnswerYou can actually get $150 if you recycle those or even older router at Bestbuy and buy the router you've been wanting. that is 15% off!!

Blistering hot wifi on every device
What an absolutely awesome wifi system. Truly getting the best out of my 1.2GB intranet, with wifi speeds in the 400-600 MBPS range all over the house. Easy setup. Replaced the built in router portion of an xfinity combo modem/router that never gave me any more than 40-60 MBPS at a device. Great Buy
