So I'm new with these routers, and I'm wondering I have 2 of these. Can I put one where my modem is at and also one on the opposite side of my house. Will it make the range further if I do that. Also, these are only Wi-Fi 6 not Wi-Fi 6E, so I can't get the 6GHz with these correct? Also, to get its max potential I need cat6 cables not cat5E. Am I correct about this?

You are correct. One W21 connects to a modem and the 2nd W21 can be away from the other unit next to a modem up to 30 ft. away. The W21 is Wi-Fi 6, not Wi-Fi 6E. You can either add a Wi-Fi 6E extender or exchange them for W161 (2 W61) which has Wi-Fi 6E.
