ORBI general question before buying
I have one area in the house that is a dead zone.
I don't want to change out my router because it is a good router.
TP -Link 7200 router.
Can you mix and match hardware? Can I connect an ORBI ...
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
30 feet is recommended in between base router and satellite to begin with depending upon building materials.
5000sq ft I use one base router and one satellite 40 feet in between.
The Orbi wifi is designed to be the only wifi source with in the home. Having other wifi can and will cause interference problems. You can turn OFF other wifi on routers and use the Orbi in AP mode if you wish to use a different router as your main host router.

Can you mix and match hardware? Can I connect an ORBI wall plug satellite and have it work with my TP-Link 7200?
