Orbi vs Nighthawk mesh

Dexter,

Thanks for the reply. It is a bit hard to pinpoint where the performance issue lies as it is a mesh extender and all devices are on a single SSID. But, based solely on proximity, I would say that we have issues with both the extender and the main router. The Internet TV's, which appear to be connected to the router, can experience jitter issues and occasionally freeze. This generally occurs when there is significant gaming, facetime, or other highbandwidth activities going on in parallel. However, the issue is limited to the wireless devices as I have a gigabit port replicator connected to the router and all hard wired devices have no issue. 

Relative to point 3, the router is currently in the basement wiring closet left of house center and the current extender is on the second floor, right of house center. I was planning on putting the second extender on the first floor center of house. If I go with the Orbi 6 solution, I will put the router/satellites in essentially the same position.

I am leaning towards replacing the system as the router is 4+ years old. 

Thanks,

Jeff
