Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and Netgear Orbi
Hi - Just got the new Orbi and I love it. Before I got this router, I had the Nighthawk R7000 and am wondering if there's a way to make the Orbi Base, Orbi Satellite and Nighthawk all work together? ...

This means you only have one SSID - the one from the Orbi Base in the house, right?
Thank you.
Yes, sorry, I wasn't sure who you were asking. Yes, this is what I've been doing for some time now, only one SSID. And it works really well!
In addition, for the Orbi I have it at lowest txpower (25%, as I recall) on 2.4GHz., since all my clients support 5GHz. So I don't want the Orbi to use 2.4GHz. And none of my clients are connected via the 2.4GHz. network by the Orbi, so everything's configured the way that I want it.
