- I just bought the orbi and haven’t received it yet but now I’m reading about WiFi 6 on the orbi sometime this year. Will I be 1. Over paying based on new equipment coming out and the price will go down on the older orbi. 2. Should I be waiting for WiFi 6 and keep paying Comcast the rental for the modem.

You're going to have to get a bunch of new equipment to take advantage of the new standard. iPhones this year may or may not have it this year but Samsung's latest releases phones do. You could always get an adapter for a laptop but it doesn't seem worth the hassle to me.
David Henry, we heard you. Would be great if you open your eyes and ears to what is discussed (and sometimes complained) here in the community a little bit more.
The most amazing part of the video? The Meural arts frame in the background - nice, non-intrusive, well balanced to the light, no reflections, ... - brilliant!
What is David Henry smoking?
Netgear routers just work and put on shelf and forget?
Does he ever read the forums where folks are having the same problems firmware update after firmware update?
I think not.
