Is the Orbi Satellites compatible with Nighthawk RAX52.v2?
We have a 2100 sqft home fully prewire and I bought a Nighthawk AX6 router. I want to keep the same SSID . Can I hook up the Orbi Satellites to my Nighthawk router via ethernet port, without hookin...
Well as long as your not using same channels betrween the RAX and your perspective AP, then should work ok.
Model: RAX54v2
AX5400 Wifi6 Router.
It's a Nighthawk AX6 wifi router and I like want to add an Orbi satellite without a mesh router. Will it work? Thank you for your help!
Sorry I did not read the original post more carefully. As FURRYe38 mentioned, Orbi satellites connect only to Orbi routers and there are restrictions on which routers each satellite is compatible with.
Answer: "no".
Should I try an extender and any recommendation? I have not heard any good reviews; mesh system seems to work better, but do not like an additional router. Thank you for your help!
