Advice on ax6000 purchase decision

Help is appreciated- newby question

Thinking of replacing my Velop whw03 mesh system (3 towers) with the Netgear AX6000.

the velop satellites are approx. 50' from the base the 2nd satellite is 60' from satellite #2 (110' from base). The satellites fall off frequently. Wifi demands are light but reliability is critical.

i have a Netgear C7100v cable modem/router. This allows connection of VOIP phone and security alarm system from the cable company. The velop system is in bridge mode.

 

will the AC6000 work with my C7100v ?

if I purchase the router with 2 satellites and position them like my Velop satellites (o',50', 110')

do you think the WIFI will be a strong signal, reliable and fast? 

If I can't use the C7100v what are my options for the VoIP from the cable company.

 

opinions and thoughts are appreciated.

Hi @JonG_Houston, apologies for the late response but if you haven't yet, yes, the Orbi AX6000 will work C7100V.

Thanks Dexter
I went ahead and bought the WiFi m6 Orbi system at Costco. It played do nicely with the V7100, setup was so simple it only took a few minutes. The app was so much easier to setup than my Previous Linksys Velop satellite system.
The Orbi system is 3-10 times faster than my old Velop system. Coverage is better too.
Five Stars!
