CAX80

I'm planning to buy a CAX80 soon.  I have a linksys mesh router in bridge mode for wifi through the house.  Will that downgrade the wifi6 on the CAX80?

It would be best to either use the wifi radios on the CAX80 and not use the Linksys system, or disable the CAX80s wifi radios, and use wifi on your Linksys MESH system. You would either use the router portion of the CAX80 and configure AP mode on your LInksys system or use the CAX80 in modem only mode and configure router mode on the Linksys system.
