Netgear wifi 5 mesh vs wifi 6 router
I live in a mid-size condominium and proper now i have Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 which serves as my modem and router. It is been getting sluggish currently and would love to update it.
Am no longer certain if going with a Nighthawk AX6200 router and a Nighthawk DOCSIS three.1 modem could be a better answer over going with a 2-1 Orbi Tri-band system.
My internet pace is 100mb and the router/modem is in the residing room and that i would love to get solid connection in my room even if the door is closed.

- microchip8MasterIf you want seamless WiFi roaming, then you can't avoid the Orbi. For everything else, considering your speeds, the router+modem combo is fine.

My 8 and 9 series Orbi work far better than the MKs IMO.

Whats the size of the condo?
Size of home can point to how many satellites maybe needed.
There is Orbi and Nighthawk MESH systems available.
