QuestionDoes my Modem need to be wifi-6 capable in order for me to utilize the full features of this Orbi router? What am I missing if modem isn't wifi-6? I have the Motorola Docsis 3.1 (#E31U2V1) modem that Spectrum provided.
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Your modem connects you to the internet through your internet service provider. It does determine what top speed you can get from the ISP. So if you have modem that can feed 200Mbps to your router and your router is capable of delivering 6Gbps to your devices, you will be limited to speeds of 200Mbps through your router. Your modem and ISP speed will be the bottle neck.

QuestionDo you know if we’d be able to plug in a VoIP phone to the secondary router?
Asked 5 years ago by VoIPphones.
- Answer Yes - it functions as a normal ethernet port. Anything can plug in there. I am not sure if it has PoE though, so you may need to put your VOIP phone into the power socket too. I am not sure.

QuestionI have Fios Gigabit Connection wifi 6 connected to my orbi 6 router in my room. I one sat in another bedroom, one sat in the living room. That sat has two lg tvs and my apple 4k hardwired. living room sat at least 2-3 times a week losing connection why?
Asked 5 years ago by preorder.
- Answer Without know ALOT more about your home/construction/layout it is hard to answer this question. Having said that I will add you have some tools that will help you resolve this issue. First lets clear up some ambiguity. You say that your tvs/apple are hard wired. I assume by this you mean that an Ethernet cable runs from those devices to the Orbi which is fine. But is that same satellite hard wired back to the base station? More than likely the answer is 'No'. If everything I wrote above is correct, then read on... This wireless back haul to the base station is probably your issue. In the future when you experience the loss of connectivity to the TVs log into your Orbi and check the connection strength to the living room satellite. If it has dropped, ask yourself what has changed? Hair dryer running? Microwave on? Lights, furnace... you get the idea. Another thing you can do now is log into the Orbi and see if you can move the satellite or base station to improve the signal strength. Finally if running a wired connection to the base station is an option, I suggest doing that, the will solve the problem permanently. -Best wishes!

QuestionDoes the ORBI RBK853 system or RBR850 Router work with the Parental Controls Circle App?
Asked 5 years ago by odjohnp.
- Answer No, it does not. A post from their support boards from 5/21 suggested it might be coming soon but at this time it is not compatible. This model is terrible right now is parental controls are important to you.

QuestionEchoing previous question. Can you use Cat 5/5e/6 to backhaul between the satellites instead of the dedicated 5G back haul? Would there be a performance impact?
Asked 5 years ago by PatrickInBirmingham.
- Answer I did Ethernet backhaul and it significantly improved my WiFi strength. It was already really good before that though, but it is amazing now.

QuestionWill the orbi ax6000 connect with electronics that run on 4g or 5g?
Asked 5 years ago by Rico.
- Answer 4G and 5G are rating speeds for cellular network, WIFI does not use the same specifications or channels. Your mobile device should also have a channel for WIFI support which it would connect up to for the ORBI. Therefore it is most likely they will connect up just fine., but you would just need to cross reference the devices capabilities to see if it is using WIFI-5 or the WIFI-6 side of this device.
