Have Orbi - want to use Nighthawk for backup and media server
Hi,
I'm very pleased with the better coverage of my new Orbi system. However I'm missing the features of media server and ReadyShare backup which this doesn't offer. I do have my Nighthawk which this system replaced. Is there a way I can hook it up so it can continue to provide those functions without competing or usurping Orbi? If you know what I should do, please let me know. Specific steps are really welcomed!
Thank you in advance.

Hello Pm1
You could hook up the nighthawk again and put the orbi into AP mode and hook it into the nighthawk then you would still have the great wifi coverage and the features of your old router.
