Nighthawk AX6000 (CAX80) add Mesh System
I have a Nighthawk AX6000 (CAX80) wifi cable modem router and I want to add a tri-band mesh system to my home. I have about 4,000 square feet. I am confused, should I install a Orbi mesh system or a Nighthawk mesh system? Or does it really matter which I choose?

I would focus more on if you're wanting a dual band or a triband system.
The MK and the orbi perform similar when they have similar specs so its more about what performance system you're adding.
I want to add a tri-band system but I didn't know what the difference was or the best between between the Orbi mesh systems or the Nighthawk mesh systems. Maybe I am just splitting hairs.
a lot depends on the performance/budget you want.
In terms of performance/capabilities it'd go base system for triband: MK80 series, then obri 7 series, then 8, then 9 series.
But they go up in price each step.
You might give the EAX80 a try with the CAX80.
