Hello Guys, I just got my RBK53 today and both satellites I have put on second floor, but there’s no extra satellites for me to connect LAN to my CCTV DVR (my main router is far from my DVR). My question is can I use my old tplink/Asus repeater device and connect to Orbi network and transmission network by LAN to my DVR? Or any low cost product that I can get the wireless from Orbi and connect to my dvr thru LAN cable?
Your old router can likely also be used as a wireless bridge to your new Orbi network and let you plugin via ethernet for your DVR. For Asus they seem to call this "media bridge" mode. For example, here's the Netgear instructions to do it fo one of their routers: https://kb.netgear.com/24105/What-is-bridge-mode-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Nighthawk-router

If you already tried the wireless bridge mode on your okd router but it couldn't connect to your Orbi network, you can try modifying the Orbi wireless settings like Beamforming, MIMO, Fast Roaming, 20/40Mhz Coexistence and see if that makes it more compatible.
- Thank you for reply. I will try this😚
- I have checked my fast roam, MIMU on my Orbi and I set my asus to bridge mode. Still unable to found Orbi network

Can you show us all your Advanced Wireless settings for 2.4Ghz? Make sure SSID Broadcast is checked, 100% Power, Automatic preamble. Leave WMM checked. If it still doesn't work, try flipping the 20/40 Mhz Coexistence setting.
- I feel weird also. My asus router can found my neighbour WiFi signal but not mine.
Here is the picture of my wireless setting
It also looks like you're using the Quick Setup Wizard for your Asus RT-N800HP router. Maybe that detects other wireless networks differently? From the manual, you want to follow the instructions on page 34 and select "WDS Only" mode.
- Hi, I have use the method you shared. But it also not found my home network.
**My ASUS (Repeater/Media Bridge Mode/AP) is just beside my dvr, and my Orbi Router is same floor with the ASUS. Is it because my ASUS can’t receive 5ghz so the Orbi network not appear?
