Q: What is the difference between the Ax6000 and the AX4200 WiFi 6 mesh system
A: Sorry 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.
Q: Anybody that has these, did any of you guys set this up with a WIRED backhaul vs wireless?
A: wired backhaul does work great. Wifi Backhaul has also had no issues
Q: How many square feet cover - Orbi AX6000?
A: We own a 3,000 SF two story home and the speed is consistent with no issues whatsoever. Hope that helps!
A: Netgear put out a video recently about their new products and mentioned that the additional satellites will be available in a few weeks. So, I would imagine sometime around the February timeframe next year.
Q: What modem would work best with the AX6000 system?
A: You 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.
A: It should, but I think FIOS is notorious for a double NAT situation so you’ll need to do some configuring
A: right now, no. supposedly in early 2020 they will release a new bios version that does come with support for circle.
