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

    Comparing the "Tech Specs" for WiFi6 Orbi and RBR50, this impression is incorrect.  Every "maximum speed" is higher on the WiFi6 Orbi, although few users are likely to achieve these speeds, even with AX compatible devices.
