Is there an upgrade path from Wifi 5 to 6 for an RBK50 owner?
I have an RBK50, so a RBR50 router and RBS50 satellite. I need a 3rd satellite for better coverage upstairs. First, are there any plans to upgrade the RBR50's to WIFI 6 via firmware upgrades...
My perspective is that WiFi 6 is still very much a work in progress. Not all features are implemented yet.
WiFi 6 does support better hardware and hence can support faster internet and more devices.
I only have 40 down and 3 up (bonded DSL). I won't be upgrading to WiFi 6 anytime soon.
If you are sporting gigabit internet and a ton of devices, then I might look into it. Otherwise, newer/better hardware is always coming out and in a few years there will be a much better WiFi 6 Orbi.
