can I combine Orbi systems
Hi,
I have a Netgear Nighthawk with a Netgear extender but still nooks and crannies in my home without Wifi. So I am thinking of buying an Orbi system. A perfect setup for my home, at least on pape...
I am a cheapskate as well, I will recycle the Nighthawk and the extender by selling it on Marktplaats, the Dutch Ebay. ;)
@michaelkenward your setup sounds great. It means also that I can combine the different systems without any problems. So I'll go for my initial idea.

Sounds good.
Get your new setup right and you won't need the old kit. But it is easy enough to bolt an old "access point" device on to an Orbi should you feel the need.

Should be fine. But think ahead. What might you want to add in future?
One thing I have been pondering is getting a satellite with a LAN port so that I can feed a Powerline network for a smart BluRay player. Ethernet beats wifi for kit like that. But my current RBW30 satellite is wifi only.
I now have two Internet services – work and play – which doesn't make much sense if the Orbi can bridge the gap.
