Orbi WiFi 6 announced: Orbi WiFi 6 System (RBK852) AX6000
I’m a bit surprised that the dedicated link between satellites has less bandwith than my RBK50. https://www.netgear.com/orbi/rbk852.aspx

How can this cost $699? That’s just another level. I’ve been waiting for WiFi 6 mesh but How do you justify spending that kind of money on this?
How do you justify spending that kind of money on this?
Even with the new iPhone 11 supporting Wi-Fi 6 , aside from meeting the most up to date spec, what is the performance gain here, to merit at that price.
I assume there will be more reasonably priced options down the road but I need to replace a malfunctioning AC router, and don’t want to buy WiFi 5 Product that I replace in a year. Ahhh

From the little that's out on this item, the "sell" is that you only need the router and one satellite for full home coverage. Initial prices are always skyhigh. I'm sure it will come down somewhat, but they also don't want to cannibalize their other product line. Eventually, they will replace the others. It's the cost of being an early adopter.
