The cable should be connected to the WAN port in the Nighthawk.
Will Nighthawk's radio range interfere with Orbi's? If yes then you have to use a different SSID and r adio channel for the Nighthawk than the one in Orbi to avoid degradation in the Orbi.

Thank you for your fast reply. I dont understand your statement. What do I need to know/do to figure that out? Inside my out building I cannot get the orbi signal from my house. the outbuilding is about 120 feet away and it is a metal building.
