Changing older orbi into access point for latest 960 router.

Hi,

 

My current config CM2000| Orbi RB50 | 3 satelites. If I but one of the latest Orbi mesh routers can I change my config to be like the following:

 

CM2000| Orbi 960 | access point Orbi RB50 | 3 satelites ?

 

Will this work and have the old satelites connect back channel to the “access point” RB50?

 

 

  • Yes you can connect the older orbi setup to the newer AX  with the older in access point mode. The AC satellites will only connect to the AC router.
