Upgrade to WiFI 6
Hello, I am looking for some advice on whether I should upgrade from a WiFi 5 Orbi system to a WiFI 6 system. I currently have a Motorola 8600 cable modem and a 1 GB internet plan from Comcas...
I'll just add my 0.02c since we had similar hardware and layout. I had an Orbi RBR50 with 3 satellites, one in guest room (closest to garage, about 30 feet), one in basement, one in upstairs office, and Orbi router in living room. I transfer files around using wireless backhaul and was getting about 30-50MB/sec. Just upgraded to an Orbi 960 with two satellites. Local thruput is now about 100-105MB/sec, however the garage coverage is no better than it was before.
A Orbi AX 7 or 8 series system would be something to review. For that size of home, just 1 RBR and 1 RBS would work. Two RBS however I would turn down the power to 50%.
