Orbi mesh systems
I have a Netgear AC1900 WiFi cable router-modem. My ISP is Spectrum. I need to add a mesh WiFi system; the Orbi systems seem like the best choice since they'll be compatible with the existing gear. ...

So I'll apreciate help in clarifying some points -
1) Do I need to replace the AC1900 or is it possible for the Orbi to plug into the modem?
2) The coverage is for a ~2,500 sqf home plus outdoors. Should I get a 2 or 3 component system?
3) Should I go with a WiFi 6 system or is it an overkill?
Thanks, Sam
