Do I set up the 2.5MHz & 5MHz channels to be the same on the cable Hub and the AX6000 or not?
What is this AX6000? That is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
If it turns out that this is a router, then you are adding router to router.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
Unless you have specific reasons for using two routers – to create two separate networks for example – it is often easier to use just one router and then to set up the second router as a wifi access point. Netgear advises this, as does just about every site you will visit.
It may be possible to put the modem/router into modem only (bridge) mode and then to use the second device as the router.
A lot of people use an Orbi system in AP mode, especially if they have a decent router in front of it. Only you know which of your two routers provides the best features for your needs.
Re: Chanel set up 2.5 GHz & 5 GHz - which channels to use and do I overlay my HUB & AX6000?
Thank you. I am trying to get the best wifi coverage I can, I live in a 1926 house that's got thick brick walls, not WiFi friendly. The AX600 is a wifi Access point attached to the router by a cat 6 cable. WiFi seems to be complex, currently, I observe that the internet speed on the Cat 6 does not drop, but the Wifi speed fluctuates. Hence the channel question above.
