T3200 and boost v1's upgrade to wifi 6 router
Hi, currently I have the t3200 and 4 boost v1's. 3 are hard wired, and 1 is on wifi. Awhile ago I upgraded to the fibre 1 GB service, but they never provided me with any wifi 6 equipment. Recently ...
You only get one of the Boost 2.0 units, if you want more then you need to pay the $10 a month for WiFi plus which gives you as many as you need. The phone rep knows this and that's probably why they aren't going to give you just one, combined with likely hardware shortages. You'll get worse performance and be unhappy. But, they cannot be mixed with the old 1.0 Boost units, and they all must be hard wired. No wireless meshing with 2.0.
I have a similar setup as you, and have decided I'm going to stick with the 1.0 Boosts. Not worth the hassle to switch everything out. I have all the TVs and PCs hardwired and 100 Mbps is more than plenty for a phone or tablet. I have been using the 1.0 Boosts for five years and I'm still impressed with their performance and I never have to mess with them.

Thanks for the info, have had 2 x Wifi Boosters v1 since they came out.
We have new Samsung phones in the house now, 1 wifi 6e & 2 wifi 7.
We only have Internet 500 on Fibre, so I don't think upgraded Boosters would make a difference. And of course I wouldn't want to pay more money. A couple years ago I was told my T3200M was not compatible with the new Wifi 6 Boosters.
