If you're needing 2, i'd go with a mesh system and not just extenders. You don't have to replace the arris box. You can connect an orbi/mk system to it and either put the netgears IP address into the arris's dmz or the netgear in access point mode.
If you're only needing one extender, either option would work.
If you're needing more than 1, I'd recommend looking at a mesh system and not just extender. Like the Orbi system or MK nighthawk.
Thanks for reply. I need 2 extenders (upstairs and downstairs). I can't replace the router. It needs to be Frontier for the STB to work. I currently have no devices that support wifi 6 although I am looking at a TV that supports wifi 6. Based on this what is your recommendation.
