Orbi and Nighthawk
Is there a way to hang an Orbi system on an existing Nighthawk1900 to get the benefits of both?
Yes, you can. Technically, the guest network will share the same Wi-Fi channel as the main, secured network but the Nighthawk will keep the guest traffic isolated.

Yes, you can run the Orbi in AP Mode.
Can I continue to use the guest network feature of the nighthawk as a separate wifi channel and use the main secured nighthawk network and the orbi using the same SSID, for example "xnet", for both wired and wireless?
Yes, you can. Technically, the guest network will share the same Wi-Fi channel as the main, secured network but the Nighthawk will keep the guest traffic isolated.
