Rbk853 unavailable
Finally ready to drop the big coins on the Orbi RBK853 and it is not available ANYWHERE. What was a bit concerning was that one vendor reported that it was recently discontinued and would not be avail...
I would review and compare the spec sheets for each system. Look at the wifi connection rates listed at the bottom of each system. This and MIMO and stream data information will tell you what system does and compare the two.
Where did you hear about Orbi AX being discontinued?
Orbi AX is still listed in NGs shop:
The system hasn't been out for a year yet. NG doesn't make something and spend lots of design and development money on something that they would turn around and discontinue it.
Do you believe that the Nighthawk Mesh System + gigabit switch is relatively equal to the Orbi Rbk85* system? My understanding is that the Orbi system is far superior.
We have a 6500 sq feet that we need to blanket with WiFi 6. I can wait for a new Orbi but welcome suggestions if there is a suitable alternative that is readily available.

If I were you and don't want to wait for a new Orbi AX v.2, I'll buy (if available on the market) the Asus ZenWifi AX6600 which is superior than current Orbi AX6000, has 4800 Mbps wireless backhaul with 4x4 160MHz bandwidth on the 5GHz-2 network, 160 MHz available also to clients changing the network used for backhaul from 5GHz-2 to 5GHz-1 (then the backhaul runs at 2400 Mbps) or using a wired backhaul, 2.5 Gbps wired Ethernet port available on satellites if using the wireless backhaul, separate SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz networks, possibility to devote all the 3 wifi bands to clients if using a wired backhaul, more professional configuration settings... and is a little cheaper...
