Cut xFin Equipment - add Netgear CM1200 modem with best Netgear router
Good day…
I want to cut out xFin last piece of equipment and that’s the router/modem and their xFin system. I purchased a CM1200 modem and a AC1200 router. Not sure I have enough power to connect 28-30 devices in my 1,600 square foot 2 story home. My whole house is wireless with most of the devices on lower level. Bedrooms are upstairs with very limited wireless devices (cameras, 2 dots and gaming system). I have always had connectivity issues in my 6 years here. I can cut my internet only bill in half if I use my own equipment. On a budget, but if I’m gonna invest in getting a router, I’mm only gonna do this once, meaning I hate buying something then have to turn around and additional products after the fact. Looking at Netgear’s Orbi mesh system. What would you consider with the CM1200 modem?

Orbi AX 3, or 7 series would work best. For that size of home, a RBR and 1 RBS would be all that you need.

Thank you for your response…so an AX350 or AX353 or AX753 ( 3 or 7 series) with one satellite is what you are suggesting?
I see some with 2 satellites new and used at a discount. I’ve seen some videos where they have purchased a used system - seems to work well. Looking now thanks again
352 or 752 are ones with just one RBS. Yes.
