Should we expect a wifi 6 orbi cable modem?

I was told the CBK40 was going to be the last of the Orbi Cable modem gateways. It wasn't a big seller as they had hopped for. Kind of hard to compete with the stand alone Orbi system anyways. 

I prefer having my modem and router system separate for troubleshooting reasons.

Hello all!!

 

Just about to acquire Orbi to replace my outdated mesh system... but as it always happens, when I’m about to get something, there are news about a updated version coming up... (WIFI 6 one).  

 

Since I was going to get a cable modem/router orbi,,, should I wait until they push out that WIFI 6 version or should the wifi6 satellites play well with the current generation orbi cable modem / router....

 

Don’t mind waiting a couple of years for price drops... dont want to be in the same situation when I bought my apple airport extremes just to get the news that they wont be supporting any longer.

 

Whay do you all think?
