Two Netgear X6 AC 3200 routers or One X6 and an AP?
Currerntly have a Nighthawk X6 AC 3200 and have the opportunity to purchase a second one for less money then a Nighthawk Extender would cost. Would you purchase a 2nd X6 and convert it as an extender or would you buy a new Extender that has similar speeds as the X6. What are the Pros and Cons?
Note: I have Cat5 through the house so they can be hard wired. My isp is 1gb fiber.

Not aware the X6 has a configuration option to operate it as an extender. There might be a Wireless Access Point mode available - but this requires a wired Ethernet connection from the router to the access point.

That being said.... I have two X6 AC3200 connected to a 1gb up/down modem that is in Bridge mode.
How would you set the X6's up?
Most importantly I want one setup specifically so that our Zoom calls get priority.
Would love your insights
