Orbi connects to R7000 for openvpn client

As Orbi do not support openvpn client, I plan to connect orbi with R7000. I found some ideas from below link. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Netgear-Nighthawk-R7000-and-Netgear-Orbi/td-p/142...

Thanks. I also want to add EX7500 into my network.

May I ask more about your setup?

Modem ->(cable) R7000 -> (cable) orbi  -> (mesh wifi) orbi / ex7500

 

Sorry I am newbie of network installation.

You should only need the Orbi system for your wifi needs. EX7500 shouldn't be needed.
