Modem and beyond
Hello everyone,
My internet provider is Cox and the CM1000
Is the modem that they recommend. Now my concern is which would be better the nighthawk mesh or orbi mesh system.
Thanks in advance for and suggestion or advice
Update: We are talking about anywhere from 20 to 30 devices (8 smart phones four laptops, two gaming systems and 7 security cameras
Thanks

Either one would work.
If your into gaming then the XRM MESH maybe someting to look in to:

I have this same setup accept my router is the XR450. I have the EX7700 which is the same as whats in the XRM package. Works great in my 5000sq ft home. Two story. You could and another EX7700 if needed. I have two of them.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Size of your home will be a factor.
30 feet is recommended in between router and any extenders to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
