Orbi and C6300

Currently using a Netgear C6300 modem/router.  Interested in using the Orbi.  Will it work with the C6300?  Does the Orbi broadcast different SSID's for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi networks?  Any suggesitons greatly appreciated.

    Hello johnrp0510

     

    Yes it will work with the C6300 you can set the modem to modem only or use the orbi as a AP. And the orbi only broadcasts 1 SSID and bandsteering will put your device on the 5ghz and 2.4ghz on its own.
