How to pair cable modem with mesh wifi satellites
I would like to purchase a top end cabem modem mesh wifi 6 system and pair with two satellites (e.g. - one for the basement, one for the first floor, one for the top floor) to get complete coverage in my house with one wifi network.
What is the recommended combination of components to do this? Is there a bundle for this?
I was looking at AC220 but not certain of it's compatibility with other choices.

Re: How to pair cable modem with mesh wifi satellites
Most of the people on here would recommend staying away from combo devices.
They are convenient but the lock you into the ISP upgrading firmwares/security.
As well as then if you switch isp's, it might not be compatible
Or if the isp doesn't support the modem side or changes requirements for certain speed tiers (docsis 3.1 vs 3.0) then you need to replace a whole unit and not a single modem.
