I hoping for some guidance...I’m looking to replace my modem & router setup.My ISP recommended – among others – a Motorola MB8600 modem.Motorola suggests a Netgear WiFi 6 router to go with that for optimum performance.I’m looking at two Netgear products:a NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream AX5400 WiFi 6 Router (RAX50) and a NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System (RBK752) – Router with 1 Satellite Extender.A couple of questions:
Do I only need ONE of these routers, or do I need both?
In your opinion, is one router “better” than the other for speed and distance?
Deets:
I live in a two story home (approx. 3,200 sq. ft., basement, and ground floor).
Run Mac OS 12.0.1 (Monterey)
ISP connection in basement with current modem/router setup.
With the RAX50 you may need a additional wifi extender, depending where you have the main router, for additional coverage. Basements are not recommended places for main router units. 1st or 2nd floor is recommended.
