Nighthawk AX6000 WiFi 6 Cable Modem Router CAX80

I am running the Netgear Cax80 Modem/router hi speed terabit service with Xfinity. They do sell newer ver mine is about 3+ years old About 80+ items from smart switch+ plugs , cameras, garage door and locks and thermostat .plus hubs. Aqara, Meross and few other products mostly cross platform, apple and Alexa . Mostly runs ok I do find I have Chanel conflicts at times but mostly runs well.

I use an Orbi with one satellite and a netgear 3.1 gateway in bridge mode. They’re expensive but I got it used for cheap and it’s been great.

Considering that you’re using a very old 802.11n-only device, an upgrade to a decent WiFi6 device will modernize you greatly. These can be very inexpensive. I picked up a used Netgear Nighthawk WiFi6 router for $30 and it covers my apartment perfectly, despite the 200 neighbors. Then, when the future arrives and it’s time to expand, I’d buy something new. WiFi7 prices are only going to fall faster and WiFi7 clients will become all that more common, so it will pay to wait. Network gear is one of those things that you can’t future-proof. The tech changes fast enough, and the prices change fast enough, and the client support lags enough to the point where it’s is more efficient to buy for today, and not for 24 months from now.

Netgear nighthawk for 6. Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far

Definitely 👍. I use a Netgear Nighthawk with WiFi 6.

I agree. I have tried numerous Netgear products, going back to a PCMCIA card, and all of them have had problems. The last Nighthawk I had constantly resulted in "Connected, No internet" for too many devices.

I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.
