I am considering getting an ac4200 Orbi wifi 6 router to use with my MetroNet 500g fiber, but was concerned about MetroNet’s use of CNAT instead of true WiFi 6 addressing. Does anyone have positive or negative experience with MetroNet and Netgear WiFi 6 Orbi routers? Thanks
Most of the people who participate in this forum own the original Orbi products. Netgear created a separate community forum for the new "AX" product line. (Google searches for "orbi forum" lead here, whereas the AX forum is at:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/bd-p/en-home-orbi-ax ) If you post in that forum, maybe one of those folks has MetroNet fiber.

There may be a "typo" in the original post. I believe the topic might be IPv6 addressing, not WiFi6 addressing:
