Wondering if the Netgear ac2200 (rbk30) would work with the R6400V2

 

Looking forward to further advises

So what you're trying to do is this?

ISP modem-->R6400v2-->RBK30

 

What I'd try to do is go:

ISP modem/router--->RBK30  

See how that works.  the RBK30 should cover around 3500 square ft if setup properly. How much area are you trying to cover? If it doesn't cover enough, you can add the r6400v2 back in. In my opinion, simpler is better as it reduces conflict or chances of failure.

   

If you get the Orbi set, I'd shut off the wireless on the isp supplied device unless you really need it.
