Thoughts on Netgear AX1800 WiFi Router (R6700AX) for main router and AP?
I have 100(down)/10(up) spectrum service with a spectrum rental router set up in basement. I work from home and have a gaming PC in the basement so having the router in the basement has worked well...
What I'd recommend and why? Look on amazon for orbi renewed. There's everything from the orbi AC version (rbk50 or rbk43) to the newer RBK752 all either under that price or pretty close. (and if you're worried about renewed, most have an aftermarket warranty option through amazon)
You'd be better off to go that route because then you'd have more of a seamless wifi in your home. Versus using a router and an access point. When a consumer router or extender is ran in access point mode, it disables its smart roaming features. So even if you name it the same as your router, the roaming from router----AP isn't as efficient as it could be with those features enabled.
