My old Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 C7000v100NAS modem/router combo is dying and I will be replacing that with a Motorola MB8600 DOCSIS 3.1 Modem, and now I need a router to pair it with. I see that AX (Wifi 6) Routers are starting to appear in larger numbers and generally decent prices. I am looking at getting a Netgear RAX80 AX6000 or a RAX40 (AX3000) router. I like the amount of ethernet ports, because I am looking at connecting my gaming PC, laptop, and Smart TV via wired, and I would like to have the extra ports for my work laptop and other devices. The biggest question for me right now, is should I wait to buy wifi 6 or upgrade now in a future-proofing vein?
