Orbi router with 2 satellites and a second Orbi router used in AP mode
Hi there,
Great forum resource which has massively helped me out with my set up which is as follows:
1. main set up is RBR40 x1 with 2 satelittes - this is connected to 7 sonos, 12 cctv...
I was hoping that someone could advise with some experience in having done this may be on the forum, or with knowledge as to whether it will cause any issues. Rather than simply suggesting I just try it... I appreciate the response, but as I have a load of devices connected two each and so wanted to see other's experience in this before I make any further changes. If anyone has any knowlegdge / experience in having made the changes or if it will cause any problems, it would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance
My guess is, that the 2nd Orbi router, although running in AP mode still would try to control band steering and the other mesh features of your setup. There is actually zero information on this anywhere to have, so this would have to be answered by Netgear.
Frankly, you will likely not get much other advise than, "Try it", as there's only a marginal chance that someone else has bought somehow two routers and tried to set them up exactly as you're asking.
