A router is not a sat&nbsp;

The RAX80 won't integrate with the AC3000 system.

but it does have other benefits you could use it for.

You could go

modem---->RAX80----->AC3000 (in access point mode)

Then just make sure to have the 2 networks on different wireless channels to reduce interference.

I'd also recommend having them use seperate ssid's so you can choose which device to place on the RAX vs AC3000

I do this frequently.

I tend to do it so I can put my AX devices or my fixed postition devices (smart tv's, IoT devices) on the close RAX router and my devices at the peripheral or that roam on the mesh system. It works well for my system.
