Can i use R7000 in a wifi mesh?
Can i use R7000 router in a mesh? Today i have a R7000 router in my home wifi. I want to extend it using a mesh solution. I wonder if my R7000 can be used as a router in my new mesh-system a...
Thanks! My original plan is to use a mesh with "Orbi" - and that question was exactly about this. If i was able to use my old router together with Orbi-units, so not need to buy a new orbi-router.
But as i understand you, this is not possible....?
If you plan on using orbi satellites you need* an orbi router.
The only * to this is the fact that orbi voice and orbi outdoor can function as either an orbi device or an extender. But the standard orbi satellites need an orbi router to act as main. The R7000 wont' function as this.
