AX4200 vs AX6000
Looking to upgrade to Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh system. Our house is about 3,000 square feet. 45-50 devices roughly. Family of 6. I have trouble getting a good signal in my garage where I work out and lik...

Been using this for over a week now and performance is good. Not sure what I am missing out on by not spending the extra $200. We have 6 poeple in this house, over 40+ devices with kids streaming all the time. And my AppleTV in my garage works just fine while I work out. So what I don't know won't hurt me, I guess.
Overall, I am happy with the 4200.

This is super helpful - thanks for the details. Mind a dumb question? I'm not a "techie"... :) just trying to feel my way through this.
If my internet service plan only provides up to 400Mbps, then - am I right to think that I wouldn't gain anything by going with the AX6000 over the AX4200?

I've used both the RBK852 and now the RBK752 in a similar situation as yours. I have Spectrum 400/20 in about 2700 sq. ft. 2 story house. I get around 480/23 everywhere with no drops or dead spots anywhere with about 30 devices. I have them set up on opposite sides of the house, different floors about 35 apart.
I didn't see a big difference in terms of performance between the two to justify the additional $200 for the RBK852 but no complaints it's a great system for the price.
