Orbi Router Converted to Orbi Satellite?
Can an Orbi 2200 router be configured and used as a satellite in an Orbi system?
hi , no i dont believe it can , it can however run as an AP instead of a router
im assuming you want to buy 2 orbi kits and use the second router

- PHFGAspirantWhat is an AP? I do have two Orbi kits. I use one router and I have four satellites. I want to use the second router to fill a weak signal area if possible. What is an AP?
- PHFGAspirantI found this Netgear process to change a router to SP mode. https://kb.netgear.com/20927/How-do-I-change-my-NETGEAR-router-to-AP-mode-after-I-ve-already-run-setup. Do you know if this process applies to an Orbi Router?
- PHFGAspirantAP not SP above
the orbi router has a specific AP mode in its gui so no need to do that
