Nighthawk R700 AC1900 with Orbi RBR50 - best setup?
(Note - you cannot select AC3000 Orbi - it is not in the list for MODEL)
I bought the RBR50, unplugged my router, and set it up and tested...pretty simple, web interface same as AC1900. Using t...
Correct..r7000 night hawk ac1900 router. So I have the orbi rbr50 ac3000 now in AP mode working fine. However, WiFi on r7000 is disabled, as you don't want to use same said as the orbi.... The r7000 and orbi ac3000 don't act as one mesh network, pretty other notes on here.
Still wondering if I should just upgrade the R7000 to a Triband router or AX wifi6 router, versus adding on orbi. TVs,PC and Tivo hardwired, just a few phones, tablet and two laptops on AC WiFi (phones support wifi6) .
Thank you for the advice.

Do you have any problems with the wifi on the phones, tablet and laptops?
If your Internet speed is the limiting factor, "faster" routers will not do much.
Was looking for better performance on the router ie processing capability especially since my TIVO and tvs are wired, port aggregation, etc. For WiFi would like the same wireless speeds as my internet connection - so looking for 300 mbs speeds, to match ISP speed. Have 2 samsung s10 phones, both have wifi6 with mu-mimo capability.
To take advantage of WiFi 6, you may want to upgrade both R7000 and Orbi for a RAX router.
Orbi is coming out with WiFi 6 systems I believe later on this year or next. Current Orbi systems will NOT see any WiFi 6 as this is a hardware change.
