EAX80 vs new Orbi AX6000
So here's the situation. We have recently moved to a larger two story home (3,100 sqft.) and the internet is horrible. We will soon be switching ISP to at least give us better bandwidth and streaming...

Thanks Furry I will definitely start looking into the CAX80 as an option. It would be a waste to lose the EAX80, especially since it was purchased not too long ago. But I would go with whatever the best option would be for overall connectivity, even if that means losing the EAX80.

I should have also mentioned that utilizing at least one of (or both) of the satellites in the CX6000 bundle as physical acces points for the TV or consoles via Ethernet cable was what really had me thinking of that as a main choice.

And thank you for the tip on SSID I never thought of that as mostly I've always changed the ID and pass.

Ya, keep the same SSID name. You can change the PW if you want to if you feel the need. I live in a good nieghbor hood and all adults here in the home so PW change isn't really needed.
Good Luck.
