Orbi RK50 and APple Extreme as range extender

Hi all, I have an Orbi RK50 plus one satellite, but still problems to reach the last rooms in my flat. As I formerly used an Apple Extreme, I wonder whether I can connect the AE as a range extender ...

AE has to be wired to Orbi so it will act as a wired AP to Orbi.

You have to sett different radio channels for both bands in AE than those used in Orbi.

    Thank you but this doesn’t help, since I have not the possibilità to fisically connect Orbi and AE. I Need to connect them wireless.
